Hi, I am having so many issues with my computer... It is crashing multiple time daily as of late. I have contacted PC specialist and I eagerly await their reply tomorrow (hopefully).
To begin with I feel it would be appropriate to just outline some of the difficulties I am having other than the constant crashing. I ordered my PC in June, and when it arrived it worked fine for a week or two, but after returning from a two week holiday I turned on my computer only to discover the SSD was no longer working. So, had to send it back to get it repaired, as I was a bit concerned about some of the other hardware as well.
So they fixed it and sent it back to me. However since it was returned a number of other issues have emerged, for instance the edimax wireless card does not work at all. Also the computer would crash about once a week or so. These things were an annoyance however I put up with them. So there was a few months or it working well-ish, but as of late it is past the point of toleration.
As I have already mentioned, it is crashing constantly, and this is under very light use i.e. web browsing. Today alone it has already crashed twice, the crash 'code' in these 2 instances begin with '0x000000F4' and '0x0000007A' I tell you this in the hope that one of you might be able to shed some light on to the issues I am having. The crashing is not the only issue. Sometimes the computer will not start at all, and I have to reboot it manually, or change the boot priority in the Bios. Also the boot up times are from satisfactory for an SSD, and my 2 year old Mac book loads faster. Another issue I am having is with the windows UI. When I drag a window over another window, there is a strange graphical defect which is a problem I have had since my PC arrived. The defect could be described as lag or tearing, as you can see the borders of the window you have just dragged over the other window.
