  • If you’re just worried about your computer or whatever getting stolen, whole partition encryption at rest is the way to go.

    That process also requires that you log out of or turn off your computer when not using it. Not everyone understands that part. If your computer is on and logged in when it gets stolen then someone could just not turn it off or log out and read all the data.

    Of course that’s assuming you mean stolen by a criminal as opposed to confiscated. That’s a different thing altogether.





  • Don’t use a system you don’t understand.

    There is no difference between deleting a file and encrypting it and losing the key.

    Don’t start encrypting your shit if you don’t have a functional, operational, tested backup system in place.

    Read the three sentences above again and make sure you understand them. Ask questions if you do not. It’s okay if you do not understand.



  • It really seems like replacing that with a higher rated name brand psu will resolve your problem. You’re running up against the maximum power the pcie slot is rated to deliver. Claimed wattage only tells part of the story. All that power for the card has to come through the 24 pin connector along with everything else.

    If you wanna prove me wrong plug the motherboard/cpu/gpu into someone else’s higher rated power supply and show that it has the same behavior.

    If there’s a computer shop near you they’ll probably do this test in front of you with one of their power supplies for a couple of bucks. If there’s a gamer friend they’ll do it for free to help you figure out the problem.
