    Problems with mother board

    At first I was completely satisfied with every aspect of this computer. I am not a gamer, but I love the speed and clarity of the display. At approximately the 4th month it lost access to the hard drive. BestBuy trouble shot and said one of four ports was bad. They reconnected to another port. Three months later, same issue. Now it looks like hard drive failing, second port connection failing, and motherboard failing. Just when I need it the most, off the repair center with 3-6 week estimate. I am not a happy camper

    Bought this computer from best buy during Christmas and heavily discounted. Loved it until it wouldn't charge. No matter what, it would not charge. Tried another charge, same issue. I reset the computer, and the issue magically disappeared, until a few months later and it started again. Each time I have to reset the computer which is puzzling. Something within the software causes this but dell nor best buy can not figure it out.
