The computer froze while trying to remove a USB drive, requiring a full reset. After installing new RAM a week earlier, the machine remained unresponsive, prompting a return to the old settings. Clearing the BIOS helped temporarily, but the issue persisted. Running HWinfo locked it again, and a hard reset was needed to fix the blinking cursor. After re-flashing from MSI, the problem disappeared completely. No further issues have occurred in the past two days. Should I consider replacing the board? Is this a sign that a failure is imminent? This has never happened in my 20 years of repair work.
