  • Took it in last Tuesday, early this afternoon they called to let me know it was fixed
  • New processor was bad, did not work with known good machines
  • RAM was apparently loosely seated which was causing the lack of display. They said they were able to get it to POST (and installed the latest BIOS update)
  • I took it home. It does not POST.
  • I am taking the computer back tomorrow morning. If they can’t get it working in front of me, I am giving up and buying a prebuilt PC online

    Yeah to add on to this a friend of mine recently had his PSU fail after around 6 years. TBF his symptoms were different (pc would randomly shut off) but you never know. A PSU failure is a straightforward way to fuck up PC operation.
