Windows 10: Computer acting very terribly.

I have a pretty good PC. I have a 10900k and a RTX 2080Ti with 32 GB ram. On a M.2 SSD


I did a benchmark and my ram was not performing as well as it should. I'm only getting 2133 out of the 3200 I paid for. So I look online and I saw this thing called XMP. I try it out, computer acting a little odd. I try going into the superposition benchmark to test out my new FPS. All the sudden the worse FPS drops ive ever seen. I get mad. I then for some reason tried doing a internet speed test and then my computer blue screened and my heart dropped. I was angry and sad because I wish it worked well. I went back into the bios when my computer was restarting and I set my bios back to default settings. I hop back on and things seem a little odd but I tried the internet speed test and it didn't crash my computer. I was like finally this problem is over. I go to play a game I used to get a solid 240 fps on max but it had terrible frame drops. I went back into bios to see if XMP was on but it wasn't. Now my computer seem generally slower and I feel helpless. I am still getting bad frame drops. I tried updating my drivers for the GPU but it did nothing! Did I brick my RAM?

ACT Pro 2013 will not open in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

The most likely causes on a standalone are a damaged or invalid .pad file or SQL is not running, or is damaged.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.

• • 
    Click your Windows Start button, choose Run and type in actdiag.
    

• • 
    When ACT! Diagnostics comes up, click Databases, the Database List.
    

• • 
    Locate your database in the list, right-click on it and select Detach. Make sure you know the filepath to your database before detaching it.
    

• • 
    When the database has been detached, open My Computer (or Windows Explorer) and browse to the location of your database.
    

• • 
    Locate the .PAD file for your database [database name].pad and delete it.
    

• • 
    Reopen ACT!...you will get a message that the last database opened cannot found, then will be taken to the Open Database dialog box.
    

• • 
    At the bottom of this box, change the Files of Type to .adf, browse to the location of your database and double-click on the .adf file for your database.
    

• • 
    You will get a message that ACT! will verify your database, click OK and ACT will reattach your database to SQL and create a new .pad file.
    
  • 
    Hope this helps.
