Hold on checking the GPU.

Have your wife unplug the PC and affected peripherals and just leave it all alone until you return from your trip.

Nothing else will happen to the PC in the meantime.

Then there will be no need to worry and "mess up the deal".

Just my thoughts on the matter.

first of all thanks for the reply secondly I checked that the ram rgb was working now I immediately tried it out with a different board a and a10 board I know its a old board but I use it as a linux machine I just need to know is my GPU ok or not

The requirement being that you need some Linux based means that your wife can run to test the GPU in the Linux environment. With you being away on a work trip.

Is that correct?

If so, I will need to defer to the Linux community regarding how to check the GPU.

Well, not the easiest thing in the world. Nvidia driver support in Linux is spotty at best. Most distros don't include a 'game ready' driver. By which I mean one with working 3D capabilities, it will come with a basic driver that will allow you to boot into Linux.

Pop OS seems to offer an installer with Nvidia's driver in the package, so that would work better for a live boot if you don't want to mess up the install you have.

You could download Nvidia's Linux driver and give it a go directly.

Driver Details | NVIDIA

Download the <dd~LanguageName> <dd~Name> for <dd~OSName> systems. Released <dd~ReleaseDateTime>

Or use various command lines to get it depending on your distro.

Last time I messed with it I had to do an install of ubuntu onto a USB drive, then install the Nvidia driver, and then I put Unigine Heaven on there as a basic benchmark just to see the 3D stuff working.
