Here's the info from Crystal Disk, this means nothing to me though so could you advise?

I have a really weird and annoying issue that I'm looking to diagnose. Basically, I can play games for hours on end with no problems with my computer, no obvious hardware problems causing game issues etc. etc. However, If i leave my computer on "idling" or just watching youtube when a game isnt running, the PC will randomly power itself off and initate a disk check upon restart. I have let it check the disk a few times and nothing has ever come back as an issue, I suspect it could be possible drive failure, but why would it only happen when doing idle / low power tasks. I have a 120gb Kingston A400 SSD with 20gb free and a 1tb WD Blue with 427gb free, i have run windows cmd health checks on both and optimised and defragged the HDD, yet the issue still persists. nothing out of the ordinary seems to show on task manager, the only thing i can really say apart from that is that the system fans tend to run fairly loud at times but that could be a bad temp target setup by myself Any ideas on how to diagnose this further or what it could possibly be? thanks

I enjoy playing F1 2019 with mods, be it Texture mods to update the car liveries, or performance / sound mods, like changing the engine note from the boring V6 to a sexy V10. The obvious problem here is that I can't play multiplayer because the game cannot verify the correct files. This meant earlier, I had to move all my custom mod stuff out of the game directory and re-validate the files and restore the original files to play multiplayer. Is it possible to have 2 different versions of the game boot through steam, one being an unmodded, vanilla experience for me to play Online, and the other being my modded pack to play Career mode. If it is possible, how would i go about doing such a thing, in terms of first, making steam recognise the two separate "games", and secondly, having the two separate game directories. In my head, it sounds like its possible, I just can't work out how to do it without upsetting steam

Greetings all, this is going to be a quite a long one, so bare with me. Firstly, I have just had a large "man cave / studio" built in the back garden, with a dedicated wall ethernet port like you would see in offices. This goes straight through to the router in the house about 8-10m total cable length. The router in the house is situated as center as possible, and has ethernet ports running to my BEDROOM upstairs, and my brother's BEDROOM as well. So 3 ports in total are occupied on the router. (1 or 2 spare) Out my studio, I connected all devices via ethernet, my Smart TV, and my PS4 using a network switch, but due to the Wi-Fi signal being weak out there due to thick walls (insulated heavily), I bought a TP-Link Travel Router which i was advised would be a smarter option over buying a seperate router. So the way i set it up was the Network switch would be plugged directly into the Wall Ethernet, which then had the ps4, smart tv and the TP-Link router (Set up as an access point) in it. HOWEVER, since setting this up, the main house network has been absolutely ghastly, like things will not load at all, even on my ethernet connected PC, same for my brother. yet on my dedicated SSID Wifi channels and ethernet connected devices in the studio, everything is hunky dory and fine, getting the max speeds expected with said device. Is it possible I have wired something up incorrectly, or am i doing this in an inefficient manner thus affecting the main Wifi-channels in the house. Bandwith shouldn't be a factor as we have the fasted Virgin Media bundle on offer, with 300mbps Download (however more like 200) and 20 upload consistent. Ive also attached a shitty diagram of the setup, which will likely confuse things more than help TL;DR - Since adding an access point outside with seperate wifi SSIDs, the main SSIDs inside the house, and wired connections in the house have suffered with massive loss of speed. have i set it up wrong?
