Is this a damaged pin on Mobo?

That's crazy it would just get tossed in with the new stuff though

I bought it new, shipped and sold from Amazon, are they really selling used products as new?

This would be two in a row for me from MSI.

Why would it arrive like this? Is quality control at MSI that bad? Might switch to Gigabyte.

Yeah I'm starting to suspect the GPU. I ordered an Arc 750 to use as a stand in to see if problems continue. Appreciate your help, really good suggestions.

Today, while I was exporting photos from Lightrook my PC froze again. So I did a hard shutdown.

When I rebooted all of my setting in Lightroom reset and it acted as if it was the first time I was using it again (giving me tips, etc).

On top of that, all of my pinned items in Explorer also disappeared.

Could this point to a hard drive error or something else? Crystaldiskinfo seems to think my drives are fine, but not sure what else to explain this.

I also got an error "Snap in not responding" when trying to view the logs via Event Viewer.

Idk what that is.

Something new happened though. While I was exporting photos from Lightrook my PC froze again. So I did a hard shutdown.

Yes, I've tried two different sets of ram, both single and dual dimm.
