Today as i was cleaning the interiors of my pc,i observed that there were a couple of fine scratch like curvy lines at the rear side of the motherboard.
This was a new motherboard that was purchased only last year-and during installation i had handled it very carefully,so i know that in all likelihood those scratches were pre-existing and i didn't cause them.
Is it normal for motherboards to have such scuff marks or scratches?The mainboard in question is a gigabyte b460 m d3h.
The front side housing various components look completely ok though and has no scratches at all.
Are those scratches likely to cause any problems in the long run?I feel bad for not checking the motherboard thoroughly after purchase and making sure that its free from any defects.And its not possible to obtain a replacement now as it was purchased nearly 6 months ago.
The pc works well,but occasionally exhibits problems while starting up (such as power cycling etc).Could it be the result of those scratches?
Please see the photos and let me know whether i need to be worried about the scratches or not.
