VGA is an analog signal, so you should change to a HDMI to get the best image quality. That may help with your problem too.

That code is supposed to mean "CPU not detected", so if the PSU is healthy then the CPU is the main suspect. If you have access to another CPU that fits this motherboard (from an older PC maybe), swapping CPU should reveal if that's the case.

The motherboard is a ITX form factor board, which limits your possibilities to upgrade it. There are a few ITX boards that support powerfull CPU's, however that brings up the next problem. If the page you linked to is correct then this PC has an external power supply, with a rating of only 65W...

Yes using the onboard VGA would be a good solution, IF it actually works. Not all motherboards support using the onboard when you also have a separate gfx card. Otherwise a HDMI to VGA converter might work for you. I bought a very cheap one off ebay for ~$10, and image quality is perfect.

You didn't tell how you measured the speeds, so it's hard to comment. Read and write speed should be different for example, but you give only a single value. If you run a specific benchmark and post the whole result here then someone might be able to give a verdict. Try this one for example...

Whoever brought the word "bottlenecking" into this discussion has probably no idea what the term means. Do everybody a favour and stop using it until you have some basic knowledge what it is.

You will have to read up on the particular TV. It's not a standard TV resolution, so there is no obligation from the manufacturer to support that resolution.

Yes RAID 0 increases performance by combining the disks, so that any write or read is spread evenly between the two. The drawback of this is that if one disk fails then all files on the array is lost. Don't do this for important data. Temporary storage, for applications where speed really...

Unless you have a high-end graphics card in your system 430W is fine. However it could still be the PSU that is the problem if it's of low quality and about to break. 430W sounds like an Antec, and they are usually good quality. Before anything else you should do some house cleaning on your...

Yes it should work. The array will be degraded, but no data will be lost and you can still access all data from it. In that state however it it vulnerable to any further disk failure. It's a risk, so if you have any important data on there that you absolutely cannot afford to loose, make sure...

That kind of message is normal if you try to access a secured site on the internet. In this case it seems you are trying to access a google subversion site, which is not normal if you don't know what that is. What site do you have set as your startpage? If you click cancel in that dialog it...

A new graphics card will do wonders for that PC. If you're willing to spend $200 you will get plenty of graphics power, so you can't go wrong really. Which one? Well this site has a monthly guide to what card offer the most bang for the money...

Doom didn't use a GPU when it came out, because there was none at the the time. It only used the CPU, and that was the CPU's of that time so much much slower than todays. So yes, a current CPU handles Doom very very well.

The manual for that motherboard says to use DEL to enter bios, so forget about the other keys for now. (it should say during post what key to press) Don't hold the button down the whole time during post. Press it, and release. And keep repeating that until bios opens. If you see windows start...

Are you using a VGA cable? Try a digital cable instead (DVI, HDMI, DP) If your monitor only has VGA then there should be a way to adjust image size and position in the monitors settings.
