Uninstall the old chipset drivers and install the new ones.
 
For future reference, you're much more likely to receive help if you list out all of your specs, describe your issue in detail and list all of your troubleshooting steps and results. No one is here to solve riddles.

You can get a Gen2 to Gen1 header adapter to connect your front I/O, but you would be restricted to Gen1 speeds.

This would be a lot easier for everyone if you just post a code snippet.

Look for boards that have SLI in their name, or two reinforced PCI-E x16 slots. Either of these are clues that the second PCI-E x16 slot is an x8.
 
Here's an example:

Nearly everything that you plug into the wall has a PSU, either internally (like a desktop computer) or externally in the form of a power brick/adapter. No one makes a standalone 230V AC to 12V DC converter with a PCI-E output. Therefore, you need an entire ATX or SFF PSU.
 
However, in your situation, you should just accept that it is not feasible to upgrade to a graphics card that requires more than 75W if the proprietary PSU doesn't already have a PCI-E 8-pin. (If it has Molex, you can try adapters, providing that the PSU has enough wattage to support the GPU). Even if you hooked up a second PSU, the graphics card would be powered by two sources (75W from the motherboard and the rest from the second PSU), which have no way to communicate between themselves.

Do you think that your GPU runs on 230V AC?
 
Just get a proper PSU.

I have not used any antivirus in over 10 years besides Windows Defender, and I have not had any issues in that time. Just keep your browser, system and network devices updated and you should have no problems. Meanwhile, I have friends who call me every few months asking me why they keep getting infections on their machines. An ounce of prevention...
 
I have no experience with Apple products, so no idea.

If your system has malware, then it's pretty much game over. No password manager or mitigation will completely protect you. Practice good cyber hygiene to avoid this in the first place.
 
Email for 2FA should be good enough for most people. Unless you have reason to believe that you are being specifically targeted, a physical token shouldn't be necessary.

The short answer is that the Snapdragon 855 is not a CPU; it's an SoC. It contains a CPU, GPU, I/O, radios and everything else needed for an entire system. The number of transistors in the actual CPU is a fraction of the total, and the number of transistors per core is far less than what a Ryzen core has.
 
Additionally, mobile SoCs are designed to work with fractions of a watt compared to the 100-200W budget that desktop processors have, so the transistor count alone is not an indication of processing power.

If you're changing brightness using a gamma setting, you're doing it wrong. Gamma is a global curve that affects not only the brightness, but also the saturation of all colors. Open an image in Photoshop and pull a curves adjustment up and down and see what it does to the image. It's not simply making it brighter or darker.
 
You should instead be using the contrast setting to make sure that blacks and whites are not crushed, and then the brightness setting to set your backlight to an appropriate level for your viewing environment. Beyond that, you will need to calibrate with a colorimeter if you require color accuracy.
 
Your comment about TV shows is complete nonsense. Even if something is captured at 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, it doesn't affect the exposure of a shot in any way.
