Does anyone know what happened or how to fix this? I tried on different storage drive (my ssd, etc) and it worked fine, but suddenly stopped working in this specific HDD for some reason. I do already have it Run as Administrator, so not sure what happened.

First time I'm using it, so I have no idea where to look for what. I already have my Ext. HDD formatted as NTFS, so can't really reformat and put files back in (no space on mac) The macbook is using macOS Sierra v10.12.6 , not sure about model and year of production.

..I forgot about that. Its RX 580 8GB. Oh oops, its 650W.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Coding/programming/workstation Parts: Mobo - Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 CPU - Ryzen 7 3700X + stock fan GPU - RX 580 8GB RAM/memory - (2x16GB) G.Skill Flare X DDR4-3200MHz 32GB F4-3200C16D-32GFX Gray Storage - Toshiba 1TB HDD, Kingston A2000 M.2 NvME 500GB SSD PSU - Cooler Master 80+ Gold MWE 650w Full Modular Just looking for suggestions, they're quite old so I'm not sure how much I can get out of this. My apologies if this isn't allowed or is in the wrong forum.

Warranty long gone, was only a year. Different cable yep (adapter = cable) - was even different Ampere (same voltage). Repair huh.. Well, I'll consider it I guess.

Even though it was still flickering with no input? I can still give it a try, but yeah just wondering. I don't have iGPU btw, Ryzen w/o iGPU. GPU is RX 580.

Ah dang, alright. Too bad, wasn't too keen on getting used to mac as I won't have that much time on it.

I'm more used to windows, so I was considering installing Windows on a Macbook I got (its for travel). Its Macbook Air (mid 2012) with 4GB RAM and 240GB SSD

This has been happening for a long time, and I replaced the adapter to a higher Ampere (but same voltage), hoping that was the problem. I don't think its GPU since when I unplug it from my PC, it still flickers (no video of it). Is this likely just hardware failure? If I recall correctly, it's about 3-4 years since I bought it. Video below (careful - it flashes) Monitor is LG22MK600 flicker.mp4

Note: I don't have the BSOD dump (I can't find it, theres no /Minidump folder nor memory.dmp file) The BSOD lasts for less than a second and restarts right away (after the windows loading screen). It's on windows 7. What I've tried: -Swapping HDD (I had 2 for said laptop, both wouldn't let me in) -Erasing the gold parts with rubber and reseating RAM I asked a repair shop and they mentioned about formatting... the Windows (which I doubt it is that, since 2 HDDs didn't work). Is there anything I can try to possibly fix this on my own? I can try formatting but rather not do that (as the 2 HDD were separated as work and private HDD). The laptop model is: Acer Aspire E1-471

You can say I'm paranoid. Probably a bit too much. This is because I want to bring my PC's data over.

It's gonna be for big files (archived). Expecting 100+ GB of files. Thanks for the help!

I admit having files "from the seas" and passwords saved locally that I plan to bring into Australia, but not sure if there's a good way to go around it. Any suggestions or advice is fine, albeit download is on my lowest priority (since uploading and redownloading will take a really long time, as I heard Australia internet is quite slow / bad + my net is slow on upload, too).

Aren't allowed to go thru the airport security. Well yes, I do save them in plaintext - if it works, it works. I just can't get myself to memorize every single password I use. Password saver won't be useful if I can't even open the most outside layer anyway (e.g. email)

Making as if my archives / split files are corrupt so they aren't accessible is the goal, because I heard encrypted files aren't allowed. I save my passwords on local file and planning to go to Australia, which I heard the airport security have permission to go through the passenger's storage device(s). I plan to bring my files in the form of SSD/Hard drive (which will be from my PC I'm leaving in my country).
