    Help me fix my graphic card issue

    If there are local computer sale/repair shops nearby, take the system to them and ask them to troubleshoot. They are likely to have spares and tools to identify the fault. They might charge you something like 500 - 700 Rs or less but you transfer the issue to them.

    WD My Passport External Hard Drive Connectivity Issues - Need Help

    USB 2 port offers 5V 500mA max whereas USB 3 offers 5V 900 mA. So USB 3 has more power and specially 2.5” HDDs with moving parts may sometimes need that much of power to operate normally.

    whats the most recent stable nvidia driver?

    I suggest you also try Clean Boot approach and test it out. This will temporarily hide all non MS services. *support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd

    System BSOD'd with Memory management error

    So far I have never encountered a loose SATA port. Generally they are firmly fitted to the board. Was the system drive on that loose SATA port? Bad SATA cable, loose port, too much bend in the cable etc might give rise to CRC errors. Keep a check on SMART Parameters using tools like...

    Windows 10 Laptop suddenly freezes to random blank colored screen (AFAIK when running in battery)

    Check Event Viewer for any meaningful messages next time it happens. Even if you need a hard break, Windows might have recorded system/application events in case any driver is crashing or any other cause.

    Old HDD lifespan

    @harsvp – Your WD 1 TB HDD has developed uncorrectable sectors. What this in a way means is that firmware tried to relocate them but finally gave up. They may never be corrected and if it contained any data, it’s gone. Current pending sector count may be reversible after a full low-level...

    Small shock when touching cabinet & burning smell from ups

    Some AC circuits have additional insulation layer and they may not strictly need 3 Pin plug. It’s generally called double insulated design. However I suppose your PC in question is a desktop connected to your UPS. It could be that there’s a fault in UPS. Try plugging the PC PSU directly to wall...
