@henry_7peed You can try changing some things in the "network and sharing center", and then under the "advanced" tab.

Well your GPU recommends a 450 watt PSU at a minimum. You have a 400 watt PSU, and a bronze rated one at that. Does it list any protections on the box, like OVP or SCP?

@Digideath Well, you can do what the dude above said and get it from the Windows store. Next time though, don't ever use DDU again. I have yet to see the shit fix anything for anybody, and in your case for instance, could end up being more trouble than its worth. You're not going to read from a single A+ cert book telling you to use DDU. Device manager is always mentioned, not this random third party bull shit. If you are concerned about leftover drivers, the device manager screen will show it to you. All you have to do is click on the 'view' tab, click on "show hidden devices", an

Yeah, what he said...The admiral demands results.

What I'd do is ask that shop you took it to if they actually tested it with a different motherboard. And, just to be sure, I would run something called "SFC /Scannow" in the command prompt window. You should do it either in safe mode, or through the UEFI menu just to be safe, so that it doesn't make the issue worse. The O.S update might have been corrupted for all we know.

And you have updated the bios and O.S right?

@immagetchu When you say you replaced the motherboard, did you replace it with a different make & model, or did you replace it with the same one? What apps are you running in the background? Anti-virus system?

Toms Hardware is even worse with that spiel. You'd think they would have some sense considering it is one of the most used websites people go to for power supply reviews next to perhaps Jonnyguru. They tell people this nonsense, and then wonder why they come back complaining about power related issues. ...When they recommend a certain wattage, it is for a reason. They wouldn't tell you if it wasn't important.

A "little" low is a bit of an understatement. His particular GPU recommends a 750 watt power supply. I'm sure that special someone somewhere told him 650 watts is enough and that recommended wattage given by the manufacturer should be ignored. .....Its what I ALWAYS hear from some jerkoff nerd, and its quite annoying.

It FINALLY finished...gosh DAMMIT. I certainly don't plan on ever doing this again.

It appears so, usage rate is at 100% right now. I just restarted the back up process.

I mean, I have well over 500,000 files to back up in total. This is where it has been since I started it last night.

Just the back up feature that came with the O.S, where it says "go to backup and restore windows 7".

I'm using the backup feature that came with the O.S.

So I started backing everything up last night, about 17 hours ago, and it hasn't really moved an inch since this morning. Is something wrong going on here? It should have been done by now. Should I just cancel it and start over?
