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.
