Hey guys!
I bought this PC and received it yesterday:
https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-GXIVR8020A4-Desktop-i5-7400-7200RPM/dp/B0747W15QL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518011547&sr=8-1&keywords=GXIVR8020A4
I bought it in used condition (still directly from Amazon) and was able to save about 100$. In retrospect maybe that wasn't such a great idea.
I installed my 500GB SSD and put windows on it then started updating and installing my stuff.
After being done, I ran a few benchmark without issues. I also played a few games at max settings and it went great for a few hours. However, the PC crashed 3 times while simply browsing on internet (Twitch, youtube, etc.). No BSOD, once it just froze and I had to hold the power button to manually close it and twice the screen went dark and it looked as if the PC was about to restart but it just didn't do anything and I also had to manually shut down the PC.
This can't be good. What do you thing it could be? Knowing I gamed a few hours and ran quite a few 3dMark benchmarks without issue - could it be a faulty ram stick? There are 2 sticks of 4GB in there.
I know I should probably return it especially since it was previously returned to Amazon by another buyer obviously but I spend like 4 hours on that PC setting up everything and installing my SSD with Windows etc. If I could find the issue with a reasonable certainty, I could contact CYBERPOWERPC and arrange for a replacement part.
What would you do?
Thanks!
