    Can't get ADATA RAM to run at 2800MHz

    Can't get ADATA RAM to run at 2800MHz

    Unplugged and Replugged Hard Drive with Desktop on, Desktop Disappeared

    Thanks for your help! However I sorted it, I realised it renamed my hard drive to a different letter, hence it not finding my desktop. I renamed it back to the original letter and it worked!
