I'd say it's as risky as platters inside a HDD, if a platter inside a HDD fails, you will also lose all data inside the entire HDD. Whether it's risky or not depends entirely on the medium that you are using as RAID 0, whether you are mixing and matching different types of mediums (you can RAID together Toshiba, WD and Seagate drives, or RAID together a bunch of pendrives from different companies; but this makes it extremely unstable and dangerous to store data on). You can safely use RAID 0 on HDDs using the exact same HDD (for example 10 Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TBs) for about 4-5 years (normal use case) as long as you constantly run CrystalDiskInfo at the end of the years to check whether the drives are failing or not. In the event that 1 single drive is about to fail, you will have to copy/clone the entire driveset to somewhere safe, reformat the drives whilst replacing the drive that's about to fail, and then put all your data back in. So, maintenance-wise it's quite the hassle.

This happened to me when I installed a new graphics card on my PC and was using a UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply), when I ran a graphics-heavy game, the GPU started to pull more power than the UPS could supply, so the graphics card would auto-shutdown to prevent undervoltage(can destroy your GPU). This basically means that your GPU needs more electricity(current). This is generally a PSU issue. If you are not using a UPS, then check your mains supply and see whether it is delivering enough current to power your GPU. While this is rare(a mains supply not providing enough current), it is still possible and can cause this same issue.

Sounds to me like you have a case of 'bad connections', loose connectors on the HDD/motherboard, you should take it to a repair center and see what the experts think. I also had a similar problem, my PC would not boot if it was case was vertical, so I had to place it down horizontally and it still works to this day, I'm too lazy to take it to the repair shop lol.

It might be true, I'm a very outdated guy and I'm talking about the new SSD's that were small in size, I have no experience with modern SSD's, but they do have high $/gigabyte than HDD's, don't they?

What a surprise, I'm already having black screens that I can't get rid of unless I restart. Happens when I play graphic-intense games like NFS Most Wanted (the 2005 one) What do you recommend I do? Change the PSU?

Waiting for BOTH Nvidia and AMD could take a while, around 1-2 months, so it basically depends on him, can he work without a GPU for a month, or should he just take the best thing off the shelf without waiting? In a larger scale, if you wait long enough, there will always be a better card ._.

Waiting for the GTX 1070 will definitely be worth it It's supposed to be released in a month, so depending on where you live, you can get it quite early,

I've heard of it You're sure it is durable right? I'll check it out On another topic, I ran Cinebench 15 on my PC, I think I did quite well, but could've done better Can anyone help me out on finding more benchmark softwares? I need moar!

In that case, can you recommend me a large sized SSD that will last quite a while? I mean, I just don't want to worry about how my SSD's gonna fail if I keep writing too much stuff on it.

Thanks! I'll take that advice, however, what would be the consequences of overclocking my GPU if my PSU can't deliver the wattage?

Wow, how nice, I just recently bought the PSU, so I'm screwed, I guess They also wear out faster than a HDD and are unstable right? I kind of like my data to be stable over time and I don't like losing my stuff as well. I almost cried the last time I had to reinstall Windows Thanks! I'm definitely taking the RAM advice, a lot of people have recommended it. The PSU news is a bit disappointing, since it didn't come with my case at all and I just bought it recently. What's wrong with a small monitor I've seen 10-inch screens, and 1080p might be a bit laggy, More res=Less FPS in games. And what do you mean by the CPU platform? The socket? Or the fan+heatsink?

Lol, That happens to me at times, I scroll too fast and end up reading things wrong

Oh btw, why should you upgrade a PSU if it gets old?

It's not a modem, it's the NAT adapter And a 56K modem isn't bad, I still have one I just hate using it cause it's soooooooooo slow Thanks! I've realized this too, and was just talking about how my GPU had the same amount of VRAM as my PC had RAM, so I needed to upgrade it I'm not facing a lot of problems as of now regarding the speed, but it is noticeably slow when I have a lot of tabs on, or when I use Virtual Super Resolution and run at 1080p for some extra screen space. 1080p is really laggy on my computer, makes everything 10x slow So definitely thinking about upgrading RAM, and I've also found the same RAM stick that I already have, so it can be 8GB. The problem is, my motherboard has the theoretical max of 16GB RAM, so I won't have the ability to get crazy 64GB or 128GB RAM. I do have one problem, and it's SSD ._. Like, why do you need it? I'm not a big fan of read/write speed, I'm fine if my PC takes a minute or two to boot up (as of now, its 45+ seconds), and worst of all, they have a seriously limited read/write cycle. I have to be careful about saving files on my SSD and how it will turn slow and become unusable as I continue using it ._. Not fun. I can do whatever I want on a normal HDD without worrying about it, and HDD's generally have a large read/write cycle that can make them last for decades.

New. I had to change it because the graphics card eats a lot of power under stress Oh, while we're at it, I also don't get why people give SSD more priority than HDD's. SSD's have a drastically low read/write cycle, so they end up slowing down and becoming trash very quickly, And they also have low storage per $, I think. So, what's the benefit? People just like speed more than durability?
