iBUYPOWER is a scam

Then the fedex driver is in serious trouble, because his van just bent an axle. Sure, the PC is broke, but at least the idiot driver gets fired.

what about fedex being bad? http://abc7.com/news/fedex-driver-caught-on-video-throwing-box-at-irvine-house/1667678/

What do you think all the padding is for? If you cram the big box full of padding, a well-built PC could probably survive that, though maybe not quite at that force. My pre-built shitty one survived being dropped directly on its side from 1m because it was off, so none of the harddrives were damaged. Proper shock-absorbtion can go a looong way.

Yeah, you could get a better looking PC and even get someone to build it for you for even cheaper.

Have you tried looking up the BSOD error and localizing the issue?

I've tried as much as I can, my father, which works as a IT Specialist, tried as well. The PC doesn't turn on and basically not much works. Currently, all we're trying to do is get the data off the 2 SSD's and then send it back for it to be their problem.

If it doesn't turn on at all (no fans, lights, sounds, etc), it might be the power supply. Try borrowing a PSU from another desktop computer. Make sure to take out and bypass the video card.

I'm guessing it'll be easier to move the important data if the computer is on and at least somewhat working, which is why I'm suggesting you try troubleshooting as much as possible.

It's a problem with the power supply, I've known that since I made this thread. It's also a problem with the motherboard to add on.

RIP. Good luck getting it resolved though

Thanks

To add on: The company doesn't give two shits about what people purchase. I was stupid and purchase a 900 Bronze which is not enough to support a system. A good company would not let people do that... *yes i know im dumb*

Worst case worst, if it's gotten to the point it can't be fixed by the company and you can't get your money back (which I'm fairly sure shouldn't happen), buy a new PSU and a new mobo. Punch in your current specs into PCPartPicker, pick a new mobo and a new PSU; you're looking at $150-$200 and maybe an hour or two of work.

I'm partially just thinking of asking for a refund when I send it back to make my own PC. I already know how to, and since I can factor out manual labor when creating a PC I'm able to purchase a better power supply as well as a shit ton better water cooling.

Otherwise, I might just let them try fixing it... again

IMO, CyberPowerPC is the same. terrible.

I've realized. The only actual company that I've seen doing well by creating PC's for people are local companies that drop the PC's off themselves as they are local and know the community. If that's the case, if we had one, I would've been set :/

How many times have you sent it back? If it's more than two times then just take the refund.

4th now [DOUBLEPOST=1498403619][/DOUBLEPOST]

4th now

Last 3 times because every 15-30 minutes it crashed.
