Did you configure the button with which the OSD is turned on/off? In MSI Afterburner>Settings>On-Screen Display>Toggle OSD. Set a key for it, and try using it. If it still doesn't work, Settings>Monitoring>Framerate(in the list of items shown)>Check 'Show in OSD' If you've already done the...

Make sure show on-screen display is turned on, change the rendering mode to Vector 2D, turn off Stealth mode, make sure the zoom isn't set all the way to zero. Do you also have MSI Afterburner installed?

You're obviously having cooling issues. Did you apply thermal paste when installing the new processor? What cooler are you using?

You'll be fine - just set the snowball as the default communication/recording device in Audio devices, and the headphones as the default playback device. If the heaphones have separate jacks for mic and speakers then just don't connect the mic jack, that way the system will only have one mic...

Yes, easy way is to buy a good gaming PC or a good gaming laptop. There's only some level of graphical adjustment you can do to make a game playable, and you can find ways of lowering the settings further than the game officially allows, by searching on YouTube. But again, the best solution is...

It's best you send it in for a return, it looks like a hardware issue that the manufacturer should deal with, not the consumer.

Agree with blankcr8, those 4 gigs of RAM would really limit performance in the games you've mentioned. The MSI one only seems to have an SSD, which really doesn't affect game performance much. Get the Asus one.

No. Simple no. A GT 1030 will barely run at 1080p 60 FPS, that too at low settings in most games. VR is far, far more demanding than that. If you try VR with a GT 1030, you'll probably be nauseous within a few minutes of playing.

Because nothing else seems very probable at this point. Re-installing Windows or resetting is the best you can do to troubleshoot a bad laptop. Opening up a laptop isn't recommended, hence you can't swap out hardware to find the exact fault. Temperatures are normal, the resetting would have...

Sounds like hardware failure then. Recommend taking it to the local hardware shop, or just return it directly.

If you can, install HWMonitor on your system and check for temperatures. It does sound like something broke in your system, though usually heavy loads cause crashes before they permanently damage anything. Nonetheless, check the temperatures of everything. Start backing up files in case you have...

How did you type the @ in the address then? Well anyways you need to hold down the shift key and then press the 2 placed just above the W key(qwerty keyboard).

Right click on speaker icon near the time in Windows 10(forgot what the area is called), click on Recording devices. In the window that appears, double-click on your mic. Now, go to the Listen tab, and check the 'Listen to this device' check box. Select your headphones as the 'Playback through...

Yup, most of them would be a little on the noisy side, because the gaming components would generate tons of heat that needs to be dissipated. My recommendation would be that you use some software to create a low-noise profile for class, where the components are underclocked a bit, so as to...
