this machine was working fine before a rebuild it. after that, I am able to start the computer only with 1 memory module installed on the sloy named in the manual as DIMM_A2 (the one far away from the cpu). Is there any way to diagnose what the issue is? I want maybe try determine if this is a physic issue with the pcb or some bios configuration I need to fix. Is there some utilitary (to be executed under linux) to check each slot - used or empty - which could determine a problem with it?

I enter the BIOS, and after several reboots and clear cmos, I now can boot the pc, and manage to use windows for a few minutes, until the pc start to get very slow and crashes.

Update; I tried connected only the HD (no SSD) and after some reboots, I got a message on screen (just telling no boot drive was found - OS is installed on the SSD). After that, installing the ssd again, all the LEDs in the ez-debug stay off, but the display stays with no image.

Tried that, but even with no drive conected, nothing happens ( I tried only with the HD connected too).

This setup was working fine for a few days, until I made a change on the memory (could be a coincidence, though. maybe I mess something else while changing the ram?). Now, when I try turn the machine on, I got neither an image on my display or any bips. Everyting else seems to be working (indicator leds on motherboard all light up, all fans start spinning, video card included). I checker the ez debug indicator leds, and each one of them turn on and off after the respective check, except the last one (from the top to the bottom), which, if I am reading it correctly, would indicate that "the booting device is not detected or fail" according to the documentation. Anyone already had a similar issue with this board? ANy tips of how to fix it, If it's possible? besides the MSI x470 gaming plus board, I have a processor Ryzen 7 1700, 2x Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 8Gb, a M.2 SSD with 240 Gb (it was working on M2_2, but I've tried on both slots), a 2 Tb HD on SATA 4 and a Radeon RX 550 video card (XFX). I tried a Clear CMOS, but this not fix the problem.

I have this monitor for a few years. It was working fine and all of sudden, the screen blacks out and start to display this vertical lines (see attached image). Now, even only connected to the power (with no video cable connected), only shows that. Is there some way to repair this monitor? If so, how much this could cost? Can anyone explain what causes this issue?

But the components from the previous config could work together? I mean, all of them are compatible? Also, in terms of applications/games I could run, what the difference between the 2 configurations?

I was browsing the ebay tonight, just to look prices of really old tech items (don't ask ;D), and try see how much a pc based on the Athon processor would cost today, just out of curiosity. I select the items below. Did they are compatible? Which games could run, besides maybe some emulator (probably very badly)?
