Well, time for some updates:
I managed to wreck my Windows installation. By that, I mean I can't boot it using the Windows Boot Manager option at startup. Maybe installing two OSs on the same drive just with different partitions was not a good idea? Anyways, not a big deal. I assume a reinstall would fix the issue. Starting to get accustomed to Linux Mint. Pretty usable in most cases.
The num lock solution worked. Thanks, one less problem.
Well, for the heat issues, I'm wondering if the issue is with the PSU or the graphics card. Or both. Guess I need to look out for deals on a better PSU.
I did not think this experiment would end up with me liking Linux. In some ways, it feels like some chains were lifted, others are added, many other things are learning experiences. I'm glad I started experimenting with stuff.
Edit: Question may be solved. While I was gaming, my computer randomly shut off. And it was very warm when I touched it. It seems my PSU overheats. It might not help that I have four drives connected, and the temperature outside is in the thirties C°. Also, checked my PSU. It's a Seasonic Core GM 650. At this point, I'm not going to game while I have this PSU. Getting a good PSU isn't going to be cheap.
