I got my computer back. The employee claimed the computer is working now and although there's visual distortion due to the graphics card. I haven't tested it yet. I asked him to demonstrate it in the store, but he couldn't power on the computer. I asked him why they wiped my drive and he...

Tell me if I'm wrong, but they screwed me over. I'm going to go in there and take my computer back and they aren't getting a penny.

No. They never said it was dead, at least they didn't use that word. They said the OS had "crashed" and the hard drive was "empty". They also never said that they were planning on replacing the hard drive, only that they were installing a new OS and that they would need to replace the hard drive...

No. Ironically, the employee told me that he would have to order a new hard drive if the re-installation of the OS wasn't successful. I was at home and this was all relayed to me over a phone call by an employee who wasn't even in the shop at the time(he was driving). From what he told me, the...

Does that mean the data would be irretrievable?

I can't give full system specs at the moment. I'm going to have to look in my cloud storage, I know I saved a screenshot of my speccy results. I'll update you as soon as I can find it. Not to rush you, but I have schedule constraints and I'm planning to go to the repair shop when it opens today...

My custom built desktop PC of 9 years displayed a graphics card error popup window and then a minute later stopped displaying video completely and permanently, so I took it in to a tech repair shop. I just called the repair shop yesterday to see what progress they were making, and they said...
