Computer Troubles - Thank you to everyone!
4 months ago
I just want to quickly stop by and say thank you to everyone who offered advice or condolences to my situation. I truly appreciate all of your comments and for offering support by giving me positive reinforcement or providing some tips.
They were all very helpful! ^^
Over the weekend I stopped by the computer place and the clerk went into the BIOS and figured out how to get back into my computer. It seems the Rapid Intergrade was actually supposed to be off, not on, and the TPM should have been set to Firmware. So far, it sems the new PSU is doing its job. I am once again taking things with a grain of salt and not assuming that everyone is normal just yet.
the clerk also pointed out that I should consider looking into a new SSD as well, since he showed the health on it to be 68%.
I'll give it about a week, hopefully, I'll play some games, stream, and jump on discord chats just to make sure everything truly is working as intended. If the issues persist, the clerk also said it's likely the motherboard or the graphics card so probably best to look at those next.
I am at least happy that I have more information and direction to go from here where as prior to this, I really had no idea what to do, what needed to be fix, or how to even go about with this.
So once again, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has offered help, advice, and support. While it is extremely difficult to diagnose a problem over text or even mild video chat, I really appreciate you wanting to give it your best.
I hope I will have good news for come next week and be able to say that the computer is still working just fine and that I have been able to continue to work on it without any issue. But we'll see. :)

I hope your computer stays stable but you really should consider a second computer as soon as practical. Hope it stays working!
Btw, the SSD can be used up to 50% of its wear. as long as your system remains fast, it means it's still working. best wishes 🤗
