    Was great for the first 2 months and than a section of the keyboard stopped working, about 8 keys. Now trying to use the warranty process to send it back for repair. Disappointing that it failed so quick.

    Speakers died out in less than a month. I didn't bother returning because I had some externals I preferred anyways. A month after that I'd get blue screen of deaths within an hour or two of gaming on indie platforms.. Can't even keep a consistent 144fps on low-medium Overwatch graphics. Could have built myself a much better PC rig for 600$.

      Hello Okiedoke,

      We are sorry to hear that your G5 is not quite meeting expectations. In an effort to resolve your BSOD issues, we suggest running the suite of tools found within the 'SupportAssist' application that came pre-installed with your PC. This will not only download and install the latest BIOS and firmware for a smoother experience but also diagnose your system for any errors that may be causing crashes.

      If your issue persists, you are more than welcome to contact Dell Support for further assistance. They are available over the phone, through online chat, or via email for your convenience.

      Best Regards,
      Anthony P.
