Depends on how many cores are used.

For 3. genenally older motherboards have less requirements for PSU quality. But yes, problem may be motherboard or even CPU. I hope that RMA gets something sorted out.

Broken capacitors on PSU may cause random reboots/freezes even in light load. It's not depending on load but is more random.

Sounds like you have quite old power supply. I would try with newer one.

Probably yes if there is similar connector labelled "P1" and that hasn't connected to anywhere in motherboard.

Just buy DDR3-1600 1.5V memory and it should work.

It's supposed to work like "plug and play" -style so that's why it's somewhat less advanced than COM-ports in certain ways. Adding led that tells something is connected like on RJ-45 LAN port would be good idea but it adds cost (very little but still) so not many like to add it.

If you already tried Win+P button to activate multiple displays, then those cables may be defective. They are quite long so high quality is needed.

I suggest better PSU. Also while tose items should work together, I don't recommend them as there are better options available. Something like Ryzen 5 1400 + MSI B350M GAMING PRO combo.

Many parts are missing and I also recommend AM4 platform as it allows much better upgrade path. Ryzen 3 is coming in about week and is very affordable part.

No overload, just do it.

Display takes graphic processing from GT520. There might be some problems with dual video cards from different manufacturer though. If not, then that way you can have more displays.

PCI Express x4 should be enough for GT520. No damage should come. Just wondering how you like to use those cards simultaneously. You cannot combine them into one faster card but with that configuration you can get more display connectors.

It's possible that damaged motherboard could send too much voltage to HDD and so damage it.

Four pieces? If yes, then that's only USB extender. Not hub as hub expands one USB wire to several connectors. Markings on cable are probably general markings for USB type cable. That hub may be OEM part, not sold separately so identifying it precisely will be very difficult.

Other end of cables look like what?

Should not damage hardware. 1. Heads should be parked automatically when power is switched off. You can power it off while lights are on. 2. Same as above. When power is switched off, heads should be parked automatically.

PSU is not very high quality and also broken SSD can cause strange things on Windows 10. It may also be display, display cable or BIOS problem. I would try updating BIOS first.

If it boots up, then you should be on Windows or on another OS. So any sounds coming from speakers? Other parts including PSU?

There are virtually endless selection for PSU's. Any shops I may check what's available?
