Sorry to bother people. I'm looking for help trying to figure out what's faulty in my system.
I did an upgrade this week. I got a new gfx card from here and 16 gig of ram. My computer was working fine untill i did that. Since then i'm getting loads of weird buggy issues and i'm certain either my cpus memory handler has gave up the ghost or my motherboard has failed on me.
For a start when i installed the new graphics card, the computer failed to post on the first attempt then reset itself. It worked on the second attempt. I tried to install drivers and it lost signal for 5mns then the computer reset itself.
I'm getting various different hangs and lagg issues. For example i can load firefox but it takes 5mns to load it up and get it usable. Internet explorer pops up, laggs for 3mns then shuts down. The game destiny 2 keeps kicking me due to lagg. Just loading a program or app, like cpu-z for example, it hangs and laggs for 3mns before it will load.
I thought it might be the new memory i bought. I did a memory test of the new ram just to be certain but it passed. So i tried to swap back to my old ram. Except i cant. The computer wont post with both of my older ram strips in. It can post with one strip in but not the 2 of them. I actually whent through this whole carry on where my computer wouldnt post and it took a lot of messing around with the different types of ram to get it running again.
To add to this, my mother board and cpu are old. An msi z77a-g45 board and an i5 ivybridge 3570k ovclocked to 4.3ghz.
