So for the paperclip test you disconnected everything, right? Otherwise it doesn't work.

It really sounds like overheating.

Afaik the Nox Urano VX 650W is a 400W PSU sold as 650W because fuck the customers. It's terrible.

The DT01ACA just isn't quite as fast so the Barracuda is worth the extra dollar.
P300 is slightly slower than the newest Barracuda, but if it's cheaper it's ok.

The secret technique is having TWO hard drives.
External hard drives are a good idea because if you keep the drive in the same pc lightning strikes or the psu catching fire will still ruin your day.

And before anyone complains about a second HDD being expensive: No, it isn't. How much did you spend on the whole pc? And how much would it cost you if all data was lost?

There are some "cloud" services that allow you to upload a ton of data, but apart from the security and reliability concerns it can take quite a while to upload or download everything.

Just mirroring everything onto a second HDD works fine, maybe once a week, maybe daily, depending on how paranoid you are. There's programs for it to do it automatically as soon as you plug in the external HDD or just need you to click on a single button. Cloud is nice and all but nothing beats being able to just mirror everything back after everything got completely fucked up for whatever reason. You just need a bootable USB stick and you'll have your OS up and running within half an hour no matter what (and a single windows license that you would've otherwise lost costs more than that 2nd HDD) and the rest depending on the size within a few hours. Good luck trying that if you have to download everything.

tl;dr
Online is fine for relatively small, important data (house could burn down, get flooded, whatever, don't want to loose your thesis).
Lots of data, OS -> buy twice the HDDs -> mirror -> no problems.

Sadly that doesn't work for HDDs.

There's 3 different types of refurbished HDDs:
1. Seller refurbished
2. Manufacturer refurbished
3. White label

1 is at best a glorified open box. The seller has absolutely no way of repairing a damaged HDD so they just try to sell it again as is with no or very limited warranty. At best you get a different box. Look for reviews and check how many complain about the drive being DOA. This is only possible in countries with little to no customer protection laws. They are dirt cheap, but really not worth the gamble.

2 actually work. But they aren't sold as refurbished. The problem is you can't just replace a single part in an HDD. Maybe they'll fix a bent pin but beyond that there's few options. If anything on the circuit board is damaged they replace the whole thing. The drive will report itself as being new and will accordingly be sold as new. If anything internally is damaged then you need to take the whole thing apart in a clean room and assemble it again with the broken part replaced. No one is going to do that manually. It's disassembled, broken parts are thrown out and the rest goes back into a normal production line. You'll never know in that case either.

3 white label HDDs are just weird. That's what happens when either the manufacturer can't be bothered to fix them and just sells them in bulk to a different companies or when a company wants to get rid of old HDDs that they replaced with new, faster, higher capacity ones. There's a few problems with that. HDDs don't have unlimited shelf life. If they have actually been in use it's even worse. For enterprise you generally expect an average of 5 years, then the warranty ends and any HDD that survived until then is sold. So for a computer part they are ancient, slow and will probably die soon anyway.
The companies that sell white label HDDs do test them and have equipment to fix some problems (e.g. bent pins or replacing the circuit board), so yes, they will work, usually have updated firmware and all that, but they are still very old and you have no idea which model you'll get (white label and all that). They are dirt cheap though, so if you don't care about speed or reliability (read: you have enough backups) then you can try it.

Sidenote: Always have backups. EVERY HDD WILL DIE. And you don't know when.

Try higher interp ratio first. The whole point of interp is being able to deal with loss and choke.

I was merely trying to suggest that maybe your life would be easier if you tried to answer the questions directed at you instead of trying to comment on something directed at someone else and realising that you have no idea what it means.

Solution 1: Shoot whoever the medic isn't healing.
Solution 2: Bomb the medic instead of a scout.

Demo mains will once again rule the world! There's dozens who have played without a crosshair for years!

If you bomb a single player and can't kill them you just lost a 1v1.
If you have to bomb to do damage and only manage to hit a single player but not kill them and die for it you're doing it wrong.
If you actually hit multiple rockets on multiple players and do like 400 damage, yet their medic can heal them all up before your team shows up you either solo bombed randomly and your team was in no position to follow up or your team is just way too slow.

-> Don't bomb randomly.
-> Don't expect followup on a one man sack play.
-> Call your bombs early in teamfights. Yell at your team if they dick around instead of following up on your damage.

Alternative strat: Use market gardener and one shot everyone. Arrows can't save them.

You know what numbers are though?
The part after "#2295" is meant for #2295, that's you, the part after #2296 is meant for #2296, that's murkscribe, not you.
You wouldn't be asking if you already knew everything.

Server side rates can be too low too, in case of either shitty configs or shitty bandwidth.
Then you have 2 options:
1. Lower cmdrate and updaterate to reduce the bandwidth you need.
2. Don't play on those shitty servers.

Completely wrong, both work both ways. Choke is also something completely different.

-> -frag #4, +frag #5

#2295
How much of an upgrade?
Budget?
Also AMD GPUs can do the same, it's just not called Shadowplay because trademark.

#2296
You are aware that the 560 Ti's TDP is higher than the RX 580's?
Also best price/performance is the 570.

Not all, but some do and I'm pretty sure some actually need multiple cores to get decent performance.
So I still need some sort of guideline for either CPU or GPU performance or both.
Unless of course he thinks 2 cores are enough.

And it took you about 10 minutes before the PC properly restarted after that? Just making sure there's not too much missing.
Seems like your GPU is fine though.

Ok one last try.
You still have the problem that it won't restart for a while after a crash?
You know how to do the paperclip PSU test?
Wait for a crash, then try to start the PSU with the paperclip. If it doesn't then it really should be the PSU.
