Hey everyone! I'm on Windows 11 and recently upgraded from a GTX 1060 to an RTX 3060. Since the swap, I've encountered a few major issues: my D: Drive has vanished (it held most of my game save files), my computer randomly shuts down and reboots, and sometimes my F: drive also disappears. Here's my setup: Intel Core i5-9400F CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 16 GB RAM (unsure of the type), HP 843B motherboard, with a Toshiba KBG30ZMV256G SSD as the C: drive, and a Samsung HD103SJ HDD as the F: drive, along with an unknown model 1TB HDD for the D: drive. I've spotted some critical errors with ID 41 in the event viewer. I'd really appreciate any advice or solutions you might have. Thanks a lot!

Make sure to back up your data before making any major changes, as tweaking BIOS settings or the disk setup might cause data loss. It's a good idea to read up on this before diving in! If you haven’t already, you might want to check out the FAQ threads related to Windows 11 for further guidance.
It sounds like your new RTX 3060 is drawing more power than your previous GTX 1060, which could be stressing your power supply unit (PSU). HP machines often have proprietary PSUs that can be tricky to replace affordably outside the US. Also, check if you have any mini dump files in the C:windowsminidump directory; they could provide insight into your system crashes.
