    News Retailer ships RTX 5090 with missing GPU and memory chips to customer — defaced GPU took over a year to ship

    Part of the problem is that Amazon only checks boxes by weight. If the box weighs what its supposed to weigh, they don't care about what's inside.

    If you have them already you can try them but don't be surprised if the don't work. If they do work, fine. If they don't work then return them and buy a manufacturer certified matching set.

    I use MediaPlayerClassic-HomeCinema to play 4k discs. Click File, Open Disc and click disc title. Always works. https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases You may prefer the portable version rather than the installer: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/download/2.5.1/MPC-HC.2.5.1.x64.zip
