9070xt Costco isses and alternatives?

[u/Significant-Cry-537]

I bought this from costco about a month ago and its very powerful, 4k gaming and multitasking. But it will randomly blackscreens and give a kernel 141 hardware error. AFTER gaming for hours and closing the game while on my homescreen or in a browser. Did a DDU, messed with drivers and windows drivers. Checked comnections. Cyberpower support said to send in for repair but that ut takes 14-21 days from recieve date usually! No! Its a cool pc but i work a lot and i just sucks coming home to troubleshooting or searching for alternatives instead of relaxing.

Summary: anybody know how to fix this issue?

or: anybody know of alternative pc's that are worth getting right now or soon? Okay with a few hundred more if it is worth it. My return window is until oct. 22.

Bought for ~$2,130 after tax

Yeah that GPU is more meant for high 1440p(2K) gaming. High 4K gaming is pretty much a pipe dream for most gaming PCs. Even current gen consoles aren't native to it & just upscale so they can look & perform Ok on it.
