This pc is mainly used for gaming. It's a Dell inspirion 3847 with a gtx 970 and upgraded psu.
What happened was I bought a new memory stick and an ssd to improve my system. I didn't have a sata cable so i decided to put the memory stick in not realizing that new stick was only 2gb with the stock one being 4gb.
I started the system up and the power light just started flashing. This is when I realized I put in a stick with less memory. So I turned the system off manually and put the original memory stick back in.
So I tried playing a game and the game took forever to load, had horrible frames, lag and audio skipping.
Then I decided it was time for a system refresh anyway. Which I do once a year or so.
After the refresh, the same thing happens with my game when there has literally been no changes in my system. Now also, my taskbar icons and startup menu won't work. I click internet explorer in the task bar and see it trying to run in task manager but just never shows up on screen then just disappears from the task manager.
Did I mess up my system when I started it up with less ram? What happened with the refresh? I need help please.
