I've tried to buy prebuilt gaming PCs in the past, but they always seem to have issues. I got a Dell prebuilt once which was decent except for the CPU overheated. Okay, took that back got a custom prebuilt from Microcenter recently.
Everything has good temps, but with this one it has a problem where you'll be completely idle and the computer will lock up; requiring a restart.
Maybe I'm just looking at the wrong companies?
Perhaps I should look at something like Digital Storm or OriginPC?
Is getting a decent PC for gaming that you don't have to build yourself too much to ask?
Just the way it is.
Every PC i've ever bought (including custom spec ones, built for me, ones i've spec'd, ordered the parts, and built myself, or my new pre-built system) have always seem to come with errors or issues that other users don't have.
For instance one of the last PC's refused to overclock, no matter what I tried, even when I got it working, with voltage, it would eventually blue screen, or just freeze and not respond, forcing a restart, sometimes after 2 hours of use, sometimes after 8 hours, and sometimes i'd leave it on standby overnight, i.e the system up time was about 23 hours and then come to use it in the morning to find that it had frozen overnight.
The PC before that, had an issue whereby every so often it would start up, but not boot into Windows, it would simply refuse and just sit on either a black screen, doing nothing, or a black screen with a flashing underscore, as if command line had been launched. Sometimes that same PC would boot fine.
That same PC also refused to work with XMP enabled on the RAM. My current PC had the same issue to a slightly lesser extend, it only had 1 created XMP profile (a lot of them supply 2 profiles) which didn't work for my system, XMP is usually a "one click overclock" and that's normally all you need to do.
XMP failed to work, so I ended up disabling it, and manually entering the timings, DRAM frequency (3200MHZ) and increasing the CPU SA voltage from 0.925V to 1V.
Eventually I got it working, and it's now working fine.
Some people are just naturally unlucky I guess with their builds.... i'm one of them, perhaps you're the same.
It's often a case that certain parts work better with other parts, i.e a certain brand motherboard works fine with a CPU, but using another CPU that is supported introduces an error somewhere.
I've even heard of people with the exact same components suffering, one person has no issues at all in perhaps overclocking, yet someone else will have issues. XMP won't work for someone (like me) and will work fine first time for plenty of others.
