Any help would be greatly appreciated

What the title says. After it goes through it's mysterious little troubleshooting thing, it works fine. And it seems to be just this one computer. My other computer can connect to the same phone's mobile hotspot without any headaches whatsoever.

Thank you both for your advice. I know this must be a simple question, but I just want to be absolutely sure I don't destroy some expensive hardware due to ignorance.

I have built my PC inside a Dan Case A4-SFX v2, and am satisfied with the result except for the nest of cables crammed in the tight space below the power supply. I would like the cut the cables down to size myself, in order to save money. My plan is to cut the cables, strip the ends, splice them together, solder the splice, then cover with heat shrink tubing. Because I don't have a heat gun, I would use a simple lighter to heat the tubing. Those of you who have experience, please tell me. Is this a good plan, or is there something I am missing?

I suppose I should have been more clear I would like to use a tablet as the primary monitor for a computer. That is, instead of turning on the PC, and using a monitor it already has to launch a program that would allow me to utilize a tablet as a second monitor, I would like to use the tablet as the only monitor.

The tablet has a USB3 and USB-C 3

Is it possible to use a Windows tablet as though it were a monitor for a separate machine?

Is there such a product out there as a USB Thumb Drive with a button on the device itself that you could press to tell it to completely erase all data stored within?

I want to change the fan in my power supply to one made by noctua so that it will be quieter. Aside from the well known dangers of fiddling around inside the guts of power supplies, is there anything else I should be aware of? Is it possible for a new fan to not provide adequate cooling and endanger my pc?

If I had the money to buy two high-end graphics cards, I would definitely try this myself. Fortunately (or unfortunately) most of the time an SLI build doesn't offer that much of an increase in performance. So, the point is pretty much moot from the start.

What if the build got even crazier with a DC-ATX power supply, to save room in the case and mount a larger radiator? Edit: Something like this: http://www.hd-plex.com/HDPLEX-400W-Hi-Fi-DC-ATX-Power-Supply-16V-24V-Wide-Range-Voltage-Input.html

I'm sure most of you are already aware of the existence of the Dan Case A4-SFX, and it probably doesn't need an introduction. But, just in case, here it is: https://www.dan-cases.com/ This case has room to mount a single dual-slot graphics card. SLI shouldn't even be a possibility, right? But, what if we took a card that only had IO on one slot, such as the new GTX 1080ti, and attacked a slim water block to it? Suddenly, it takes up only one slot, and you have room for another right next to it. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc1080-gtx-ti-i-o-single-slot-bracket Now, there are two graphics cards in that tiny case. So what? Mini-ITX motherboards are only built with one PCIe slot. Think again! With a little modification, it should be possible to drill holes in the bottom of the Dan Case, attach some standoffs, then mount this PCIe splitter perfectly beneath the two cards. Boom! SLI on a Mini-ITX motherboard! Of course, anyone could have done some googling and come to the same conclusions I have, so the real reason I'm making this Topic is to ask a few questions. If we were first to ignore the physical, dimensional problems involved in modifying the Dan Case to mount a PCIe splitter, then also ignore the thermodynamic problems of having two powerful cards dumping heat into one tiny radiator, would a setup like this even work on the software side? Would the benefit of having a second graphics card outweigh the cost of cutting the PCIe bandwidth to each card in half? Would the cards even function in SLI while they're both technically plugged into the same slot on the motherboard? If someone who has more knowledge and experience were to tell my exactly why this wouldn't work, I would appreciate it. Thanks
