You can go to your graphics settings to adjust the resolution.

If you have a cheap power supply then it is possible that this part is giving your PC trouble. Maybe it can't provide enough power to the CPU or GPU anymore. As stated above, look at your temps. If you're using a cheap cooler then it might be a better idea to upgrade that.

Yeah you can uncheck a box in the install to prevent it from installing SlimCleaner. But in my case the software was helpfull. Further more my ram didn't give an error message either in memtest. But it still fixed it. So I think the scanner is flawed..

This one is less expensive :p https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Q7JRJI?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&ref_=de_a_smtd&showDetailTechData=1#technical-data Has 2 x on board sata3's, support for 4 x 1333mhz ddr3.

I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Intel-Micro-Motherboards-GA-B75M-D3H/dp/B007R9CRGW Has 1 x sata-3 and 5 x sata-2 ports. Don't know how many you need? Further more you have 4 dimm slots and support for up to 1600mhz ddr3. *Edit: Just noticed that buying options are limited and...

I just use a strong AV like Norton. Never had an issue with malware or other virusses.

If you didn't damage the cables inside then you should be fine. Just put some electrical tape over it, that way you won't run the risk of shorting something when making contact with another part of your PC.

I had the same issue with a brand new PC a couple years ago. Later on I swapped the 2 x 4 Gigs of ram with 2 x 8 Gigs and since then it ran without an issue. No BSOD's anymore. I can relate to having 8 or more crashes every day. You could always run some extra tests on the SSD/HDD and RAM...

If you didn't bend any pins on your CPU then it's fine.

Strange, I've never dealt with something like that. Usually I just uninstall the driver. Swap the GPU and install the new driver. Easy as that :/ Don't know how to help you..

Like many PC builders say, NEVER, NEVERRR cheap out on a power supply. Pick a trusted brand like Corsair that provides a strong product with great service should there be an issue.

Yeah, a macbook isn't really made to be powerfull. Don't expect much difference. Maybe better battery life, display or if you come from HDD and go to an SSD.

Might be other hardware like the motherboard or the hard drives that are causing the system failures. In my opinion an old computer with windows XP isn't worth enough to try to save from death. The hardware also isn't very optimised for a newer OS like Windows 8(.1) or W10
