Logo design featuring blue elements against a dark backdrop.
I was playing and chatting with a friend when my computer suddenly stopped working. The screen went black, and I heard an error message like "wheb you click out of working windows when not allowed." Then I noticed my friend's voice and music playing in the background, but the monitor showed no signal. After restarting, the PC still didn’t respond, and it took a while to cool down before it started again, showing that blue window logo. The last time this logo appeared, the PC needed repair, and I waited a long time for it to be fixed, ending up with a very expensive fix. Now what’s happening? It’s not moving from that logo.
I purchased it 2-2 and a half years ago from a certified repair shop. The seller was a friend of my mom from high school. I was satisfied with the price I received. However, I noticed the motherboard had an MS PSU, while the RAM was a hyperX model—others were unclear. After some issues, there were frequent power cuts, which likely damaged the system. During repairs, they replaced the RAM and installed a new system, and it worked properly. Now, during maintenance, I occasionally cleaned the PC.
I have to admit, being real is tough here. A device that’s been around for a decade likely shouldn’t have cost much at all. It’s trickier to maintain this board than swapping it out for a newer version. I meant newer in the sense of an updated platform, not a completely new brand. Even a basic model from 2016 should be affordable or free now.
It's an older system, unfortunately not free. Back then, GPUs were affordable but still a cost. It wasn't built for heavy gaming or workstations, but it handled what I needed. We used it for Squid Games, Mafia DE, and eSports. Also ran PhotoShop, After Effects, AutoCAD, SolidWorks smoothly. All components worked well, ran efficiently. Precision parts included an i7 2600K, RX 570, and 16GB RAM...
