You're welcome. While you're at it, it's probably a good idea to download something like PassMark DiskCheckup and check the SMART stats on the hard drive. Can you do the following: Go to https://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm and click 'Download now' Run the downloaded file and...

You, sir, are extremely lucky. Next time, be sure to make backups of your data before doing something like this.

You're welcome.

You can use a splitter, but all connected fans will have the same color settings.

A quick Google search turns up some Amazon reviews, and most of them say similar to the problems you're having. Try a different powerline system and if it works better, return the Magic 2 system and get your money back.

Did it used to be on after a restart?

Sounds like a dodgy battery connection. As said earlier, try pulling the battery and roughing up the connector pins with fine sand paper. When you are done, blow the metal filings off of the battery and computer to avoid shorting out the battery.

Press the Reset button or try forcing the computer to power down by either disconnecting it's power (by unplugging it, turning off the breaker, etc) or by holding the power button down until it shuts off, then pressing the power button again to turn it back on. Please post back here if it...

It seems to me like the USB controller in your laptop is malfunctioning or just doesn't like such fast drives. Try a slower drive and see if it works fine on the computer. If it does, then the drive is too fast for the computer. If it doesn't, then the USB controller in the computer is...

Copy your game saves off of the drive and make sure that they work on another computer, then use something such as DBAN to wipe the drive, then clean install something like Windows 8.1 or another operating system of your choice.

I wouldn't do that. 2 installations of Windows 10 means twice the work of maintaining both installs of Windows 10 on your computer. What I would do is use the SSD for boot and programs and the HDD for data storage, and use a utility to create a disk image of both drives on a regular basis. (I...

Go into the BIOS and disable Secure Boot. Also, enable legacy boot support. That should get you up and running, provided that your drives are indeed OK. Protip: Leave Secure Boot off and legacy boot support on. IDK what has gotten into the minds of motherboard and BIOS manufacturers in the past...

Okay.

Your drives look to be OK, though you might want to consider a UPS. You seem to have lost power to the computer about 100 times, according to your SSD. If you have another PSU that you could try, you might want to try that PSU and see if it makes a difference.

Also, can you download and install PassMark DiskCheckup, open it, click the drive you have videos stored on, click S.M.A.R.T., take a screenshot, repeat for your boot drive, and post both of those screenshots here?
