When too much security is in place...

I am helping someone out and this system just locked me out after attempting to log in for the second time. Yes, the second time, and now I have to wait an hour to just try to log in again. Always remember, too much security can also be counterproductive so you have to find the right balance.

So after waiting for over and hour to let the password reset, I finally got to log in, but then I get this.

Broadcom driver causes ssd to light up constantly.

I just installed a new ssd on my old acer laptop and as I have been installing programs, the ssd started being accessed constantly without me doing anything. I thought maybe one of the programs had some issue. I spent some time trying to figure out what programs may be causing the problem and uninstalling a few of the last ones I had installed but I had no luck. So I decided to go back to an earlier version of my restore and bam, the problem was gone. Then I updated both browsers again and things were still fine, then I remember the built-in sd car on this old acer needed its driver installed so I could get the pictures of my nikon sd card. I went ahead and installed the program, the card came up but so did my problem. I then proceeded to uninstall the driver and bam, everything is back to normal. I'm not sure why, but that's the only driver they have for this old laptop on the site.
