What is damaging my Ram and Graphics card constantly? I have a Intel Core i5-6600 FCLGA 1151 Processor , Asus H110M-D - 6th Generation DDR4 MotherBoard (LGA1151, DDR4 2133Mhz) Motherboard, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) 3000 MHz - CL15 - XMP 2.0 DDR4 Ram, Seasonic M12II-620 Bronze Evo Edition 620 Watts PSU and Asus NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti Direct CUII 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card, all tightly packed in a bit small case (having space for 1hdd, 1floppy drive and 2 dvd drives (14.5 inch x 16inch x 6.5 inch)). After one month my ram stopped working and computer will not boot. I installed 2 pcs of ZION 8 GB DDR4 PC 2133 UB DIMM-(ZHY21338192) Ram.
After 6 months suddenly my system kept restarting and display showed green vertical dots and lines. I separated video card and used internal Intel HD Graphics 530. Then I got moving random moving dots all over screen. I checked both ram, and 1 ram stick used alone gave problem, I took that one out. Other one works fine. I am not Overclocking.
1.) What is damaging my Ram sticks and gfx card constantly, Heat, PSU, Motherboard or I am just plain unlucky. Every component is expensive and I do not want to damage my next Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16 GB 2133 MHz CL14 DIMM DDR4 Internal Memory (HX421C14FB/16​) Ram (I see in forums that Kingston is most durable and compatible) and Nvidia MSI Computer GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
2.) Also should I get MSI Computer GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 or ASUS GeForce 6GB Dual-Fan OC Edition DUAL-GTX1060-O​6G DUAL 6GB?. I hear MSI has better build and far quieter. I will prefer durability and low noise over speed and price as I study a lot also on my Desktop.
 
Solution
Are you overclocking your components or giving them more voltage than they need? You could just be unlucky.
How hot is it in the case? Is the powersupply and/or video card heat sink hot to the touch?
I would get the MSI card over the Asus.

I am not Overclocking. Durability over speed :) . Yes inside of case gets hot, as here in India it's generally very hot up to 46 deg celsisus in summers sometimes and generally hot. I am planning to get a bigger full size case first.

Could be unclean power, power surges, or a cheap PSU. If you want to be paranoid, get a UPS with voltage regulation and like an EVGA 1500 T2 PSU for that extra high efficiency. I not only find I can overclock higher with such components, but I've never suffered a component failure since either, personally. I also shop wise and do not buy from vendors who have things on sale, I buy from Newegg for example but only when it's a known seller, like Samsung, directly.

Now I think of it, you are right. 46 deg celsius is maximum, when people die out side of strokes, but 42 deg is kind of general temperature in summer. Then my room itself is generally enclosed with only one fan. After that the case itself is small and jam packed, like I have to put some force to put the slider panel due to big motherboard cable. Once I got heat stroke even inside my room, that year was awesome heat and other one was intolerable humidity. I may tolerate heat and recover, but I think my PC components are not so lucky. First I will get full size big case with good ventilation, and may be I should by a room cooler also. I love my computer a lot.

My Seasonic M12II-620 Bronze Evo Edition 620 Watts PSU is rated very good, and it is not cheap either. Before that long time ago I had Corsair PSU. My Gfx card is 7 years old so its failure is acceptable. But I lost 2 rams. On other hand that Corsair Ram is known to incompatible with Asus h110m or Asus Motherboards in general in voltage. And my other ram, Zion is not very famous durable vendor internationally, I mean their quality is doubtful. All this and may be heat is the culprit. I just felt a lot sad on loss of a componet (Gfx Card) which I bought with lot of difficulty after getting my new job and it was with me in my lots of virtual battles :) .
