Reeeeeee are they making prebuilt pc's worse? 30 day return period ran out and tech support will just waste my time in what will likely screw up the pc. No interest in returning it as they'll likely just replace the motherboard with a used one that may have its own issues or they'll update the drivers themselves only for me to notice the download speeds are garbage when they send it back. Those product warranties are utter garbage which is why I never buy any of them besides the manadatory "free" one that's really included in the price. Plus the problem isn't easily replicable as its only happened twice in the last 3 months.
Anons what's my best move on this to hopefully get a new one or actually fixed?

What in the holy 80 year old boomer FUCK did I just read? What percentage of your brain still works OP?

Jeez, being a Windows user sounds awful. It sounds like they purposely make a million bad devices that you have to avoid just to find the one device that actually works. With macs, they all just work without any effort on your end. You don't even have to build your own. Just works, and lasts like 10 years.
Zachary Robinson
You either need a better graphics card or a better power supply
Adrian Sanders
Make sure you always get one with a solid state drive. It's what matters most. I put together an AMD with a SSD in 2015 it's still extremely faat. It can run any game. 16 gb ram, can't recall the graphics card model. I also replaced the HDD of my old 2014 Toshiba laptop with a SSD and it's running incredibly smooth.

how long have you been posting here? how do you not know about logicalincrements?

On the other hand, my pcs don't ever stop working.
Jacob Gray
I've built a pc before and it's cost was higher than a prebuilt with no graphics card. It works good for 3d games but I don't play those kinds of games much. Plus a prebuilt is cheaper at the moment due to higher ram prices.

Thomas Green
Yeah sorry but you are doing something wrong
Owen Jones
I built one before works good but has a really slow start up now even though its only 3 years old and ~25% of the hard drive is used.
Logical increments? Not sure what that is.
Jackson Fisher
DIY is the only way. Just recently upgraded my PCs hardware. Still running an 8 year old case. Prebuilt PCs are junk shit from the inside out.
Sorry for your loss.
Jack Ward
It was my first one to build, what do you expect? This new one was cheaper due to a sale btining the price down and obviously no graphics card. Which makes the price about the same.
Asher Martin
Retarded. Can't believe I share a board with you. Go back
Asher Hughes
You need to buy an SSD to use as your boot drive dummy. Jesus user
Jacob Bell
Microsoft has decided to fuck anyone with an HDD. It's a LONG LONG LONG known problem that windows 10 maxes out the hard drive read/write making your system run like ass. They have made absolutely no attempts to fix this and never will. You can install GNU/Linux on your system just for fun and you'll see your system is extremely quick even with an HDD. SSDs have gotten so cheap now that you should have one, but it's still bullshit what Windows is doing.
John Lee
Wouldn't surprise me eg what samsung and apple were doing to their older phones and purposefully making them slower.
Caleb Stewart
My pc is old and works great! Maybe you're just doing it wrong.
Owen Powell
Who the fuck buys pre-built pcs? Just build it yourself. It's as easy and putting together lego blocks these days. You have to be a completely moran if you can't do it.
>Anons what's my best move on this to hopefully get a new one or actually fixed? Unironically if you're buying a prebuilt just get a damn laptop, at least they have a year+ warranty. If you insist on having a tower, git gud and build it yourself.
Samuel Young
Those warranties are useless though. >replace a broken part with someone else's sent in broken part (Read of a place doing that) >sorry but you did this so warranty is void >before you can use your warrantly please stay on the line with indian tech support that will have you do things you already did and might even brick your pc in the process
Nicholas Thompson
>excuses Then build your own PC what the fuck else you do you want
Levi Johnson
Serious question, you did delete the folder system32 right?
Ryder Cook
the process of building a cheap pc >get a cheap one on craigslist >make sure the cpu is good one >buy your own graphics card separately >done pre-built pcs are a scam, why would anyone buy them
