what is room temp ?

Defective usb port happens. unplug and replug to the motherboard. if still defective try another usb port on the board. you can also get a quick look a the usb cable on the inside of the case on the port end, if the cable is too bent it cause damage (happend to me). i pushed my front top fan up too much and damaged the usb cable by bending it

do you see the drive in the bios ?

i live in canada too and i tried a lot of amps under 200 from amazon and i didnt like any of them... the only one that sounded ok was the micca origain digital but there was something loose inside the amp. that was actually my second micca origain since the first one had a speaker connection not even soldered to the amp. so i didnt keep any of them.

Are you really sure you want a sound bar ? Because bookshelf speakers are better 90% of the time. I think soundbars get good at higher price and always need a sub while with some bookshelf speakers you can probably be ok without a sub.

what headphones do you have ?

everytime when audio start ? you dont mean when the amp turns on ? from what i know some amps do make a pop when turned on and its ok

if the laptop works fine with external display there is a big chance the lcd is dead but maybe just the cable

I really dont think you will see a big difference between those. get the one with the best warranty or best price

yes thats ok temps from what i found: Ddr4 is rated for up to 1.5 volts 24/7 and temperatures of 81c before damage can occur. However temperatures above 40 degrees cause stability issues and random errors. And temps above 50 degrees Celsius can cause system crashes and huge errors on otherwise stable ram overclocks

no, not the motherboard but one of the adapters maybe use your headphones with bluetooth ? that should give you both mic and stereo

i dont know if i would try it

do you have a dish washer ?

my guess is that something in there only does mono

maybe remove the front and use fan grills ?
