    A disheartening experience

    I was excited when I first picked this up. I saw a lot of potential for expansion and it was replacing my 6 year old laptop. But after the first hour, it was troubleshooting misery. I set it up and began Windows updates, but then at restart it would just stay on the black screen. The LED on the motherboard remained a solid white light. I tried everything. Switched out 3 display cables, tried all the display/HDMI ports, and tried two different monitors. It didn't fix it. I unplugged the graphics card and used the integrated graphics. It booted fine. I installed all Windows updates, installed all drivers for the amd graphics card, updated bios, tried recommended bios settings, checked to make sure graphics card was defaulted too in display settings... Factory reset and tried all over again... I gave up and called geek squad.. They told me to return/exchange it. Was very disheartened by the experience.

    Games kept crashing or freezing right at start up. Fans sounded like a jet plane as soon as you turn it on and worst when you’re trying to play any games.

    Came With a Fatal Error

    When we first got this PC it went fairly well, with no errors in sight. Conveniently just after the return window ended, an error that is commonplace with AMD began happening, and now any time a game is launched it crashes within seconds. Now I’m no computer expert, but I have put in an entires day efforts and the absolute maximum I can get it to consistently run is just Minecraft, and even that has some issues. So no, I would not recommend this unless you have more knowledge about what you’re doing I guess.

    The amd adrenaline drivers crash every game unless you download a older version which then makes the game run in 30 fps or lower

    BALLING ON A BUDGET

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you are on a budget this is a good solid PC to start out with. Just update everything when needed. Check temps here and there. I HAVE 2 complaints though. I rather have fans than water cooling. The fans need to be replaced though. I have had this for 2 months and have had 2 pre builts before from different brands. The fans on this are LOUD. To me anyways. Quality isnt great either. I will be upgrading asap. Also the PSU is not big enough. Its the BARE MINIMUM. I suggest changing it first to an 800w at least. Other than that the PC was built nicely and put together good. Recommend for starters. I am not a starter but i only sim race and dont need a huge build.

    It's been three weeks since I started using my iBUYPOWER gaming PC, and I'm really impressed. The performance is smooth, handling AAA games and heavy software effortlessly. The build quality is top-notch, with excellent cable management and sleek RGB lighting. Cooling is efficient, keeping the system cool and quiet even during long gaming sessions. Setup was easy, and the minimal bloatware is a bonus. Overall, this PC delivers great value and performance—definitely a solid buy for gamers, especially a minimalist like me.
