I figured a tech like you would build your own. Alienware is overpriced.
I like Asrock for mobos… I started using Intel, AMD is still reputable tho…

Heh, my top-ass Macbook Pro retina has started doing some weird shit since I upgraded to Yosemite. There’s a huge thread about it on Apple forums but no fixes so far, just crutches to not get stuck in error loop. Video issue too, BTW. So I feel for ya, Luke.

A week and a half? Meh. I just got my Nexus 7 2013 back two days ago after ASUS literally lost it for a month. But what can you do…

SF Ravenflight? Yes, please!

In the past 2 weeks my PC (18 months old) was giving me some headache too. It was randomly rebooting, sometimes the motherboard was stuck at POST screen, sometimes it tried to boot, but rebooted and kept stuck in a cycle of reboots. At first I thought it was the PSU, since I have a Crossfire of two HD 7850, and my PSU has 500 W, so I removed one of the cards and the problem persisted. One day, for some reason, while the motherboard was stuck in POST, I removed the USB mouse. The motherboard beeped and everything went back to normal. I thought the mouse was the problem, but a short time after the keyboard froze, and I shutdown the PC.
So I disassembled everything, and mounted the basics off the case. It worked, so I thought it had to do with the case, some sort of short circuit with the back USB ports, because when I removed the motherboard from the case, the corner with the ports was a little stuck in that thing which closes and isolates the back ports of the motherboard. I removed that thing and assembled everything back.
It worked OK for a while, but then the mouse stopped working and Windows gave me a BSOD, something with the USB driver. And now when I was starting to write this text, I noticed the keyboard had stopped functioning. So I guess my motherboard is the problem… :(
