    1. Make sure they work and are compatible with the OS. You can check Windows Compatibility Center. (Win8)
    2. Check to see if current drivers are available for the GPU.
    3. See if updates are available for the Motherboard BIOS and chipset (INF files).
    4. Make sure the memory modules are compatible with the Motherboard. (Speed, type, voltage, etc.)
    5. Replace the Motherboard battery.
    6. Verify that the PSU will support your hardware.

    Good luck!
