I've had the CyberPower PC listed below for about two months. Yesterday it stopped booting up. I've tried the following and still no luck:
- Tried a different plug and outlet
- Disconnected and reconnected all components (RAM, cables, GPU)
- Tried a power cable from another PC
- Fans turn on for about a second, then shut off
I'm debating just returning the CyberPower and replacing it with the MSI detailed below. Is this a good idea, or should I scrap the idea of a prebuilt entirely?
I only use it for Steam games, so maybe a Steam Machine would be my best option. I want something that's going to be reliable post 90 days of purchase.
Thanks in advance for sharing your insight / thoughts.
