Happy New Year,
I just built a new PC and have two questions.
Motherboard
When I was pulling out my graphics card, I didn't realize there was a release catch. I used a degree of strength to pull it out before I noticed the release catch. Did I spoilt/damage my motherboard? How would I know if I did. It boots up normally, registers my gpu and runs fine. Are there any programmes I could run to test my motherboard?
Ram
When I was playing cs I had an error regarding mismatched pak file. I also need to install directx everytime I start cs. Then were instances where I had frame freezes, which shldnt be happening as I'm running 4790k with 980ti and 16 gb of ram. I googled the pak issue and faulty rams and hdd were suggested as potential issues. I ran windows diagnostic tool which detected a hardware issue. I then ran the test on my two sticks of rams in single config, which detected hardware issue on both sticks both times. Can I conclude that my rams are faulty? I ran a hdd test on my hdd which showed no errors. Can I proceed to rma my rams with Corbel without additional tests?
