Linux is a great operating system once you learn how to use it. Windows has the largest support community. macOS is for flexing.

I figured out what it was, I had all of my computer stuff plugged into the same outlet, this includes an old early 2000s monitor that now, it seems must have been having issues with its internal power supply regulation and is now fried. needless to say now that I am not using that monitor everything is working perfectly. bad news though, now I need a new second monitor... lol

yup, I still have no clue what is going on, I restarted it without moving any SATA cables and its working fine again, just like after the first restart, the only thing at I can find that I did different on those two restarts is that I turned the power switch on the back of my pc off and then on again after I had shut down the PC.

ok, my data is currently not important, I don't feel a need to back it up. I opened up Crystal Disk Info and all of my drives are fine although it seems that the E:\ drive isn't connected. I am going to change up the SATA cables later today, and get back here with the results

Ok, so I have 3 1TB hard disk drives in my computer and an SSD for my windows installation. About a week ago I noticed that steam was having read write issues when trying to update one of my games, this game is on one of the HDDs which I use for my steam library. this prompted me to open up the drive in file explorer which took forever to load the contents of the drive, I decided to copy one of my YouTube videos from that drive to my local drive, this should have only taken about a couple of minutes but I waited over an hour and it had not finished so I just stopped it. I decided to launch a game from that drive and it worked perfectly fine, nevertheless, I shut down my computer and unplugged the plugged back in all the SATA and power cords and when I booted back up, everything was fine except the game that I had launched earlier and a few other games were missing. Now that brings me to today where the same thing seemed to have happened to my main SSD. I tried to turn my computer off and on again, that just got stuck loading windows, a tried that a few more times and it finally worked, and windows booted after saying that there was a problem restarting. and one of my disks is not accessible, it used to be called document backup but now it says local disk along with my SSD and when I click on it in file explorer it says "E:\ is not accessible. A device which does not exist was specified." the only thing hardware related that I found might be the cause is that one of the SATA cables is at such a sharp angle that it has slightly bent all of the SATA ports up (all of the ports are connected in a housing) I decided to put this here just in case there is anything else that I should try before I shut down my PC and reorganize all of the cables.

I am not totally sure what your asking, but if your done with the live boot then you remove the usb and restart the system

Well, then I do not know how to help you, sorry I could not help more.

First off why did you install Android X86 on a HDD that already had two operating systems, second this is why I don't dual boot. But seriously if you haven't fixed your problem I think this will help. https://itsfoss.com/fix-minimal-bash-line-editing-supported-grub-error-linux/

Will rendering video in Blender the load on the cpu was around 25% which got it to 70 degrees

Ok didn’t see that last reply, I’m still going to keep it at 3.5 for the time being. Thanks for your help though.

Yes I can, I think I’m going to keep it at 3.5 though, unless I’m wrong about that temp increase not being justified

Ok I think I figured it out, tell me if I may be correct. I checked my clock again and it was at 3.5 ghz which is not overclocked, so I think my bios might have changed it do to power limitations of my system? Is that possible? I have 2 dvd drives 3 HDD’s 4 sticks of ram a 1050 to plus an amd Fox 6300. My psu is 500w i also just added in some of that stuff, forgot to mention it though

Ok, so my cpu has been running at around 60 degrees Celsius idol. I just powered on my pc this morning and it at 23 degrees idol. I check the clock and that is still the same. I am running an AMD FX 6300 overclocked to 4.3ghz. Are the temps changing this drastically overnight a problem?
