Windows 10: Opinions On New PC For Son, Please ?

Hi Folks,

I have an iMac, but my son uses a HP Desktop Pavillion.
9 years old now, and has just quit.

PSU (Green light in back is steady on), Battery, and on/off switch seem fine, so likely something fried.
Probably can be considered a really good lifetime

So, being a good daddy, will get him something new.

Haven't looked at, or considered, W10 pc's in a very long time.
Questions, please:

Is there any brand these days that really stands out for quality ?
Or, is it still pretty much a matter of luck ?
Go with HP again, or...?

Any to stay away from ?

How popular are all of these "all-in-ones" styles ?
I can see both pros and cons to this style.

Are they (very) popular these days ?

Any and all opinions would be most appreciated.

Much thanks,
Bob

:)

W10 wiped my son's laptop

Hi Debbie,

It is possible that your son is unable to open his laptop while updating due to a corrupted or incomplete installation. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

• Is your son, getting an error message when he tried to turn on his laptop?
• When he tried to open his laptop, are you able to check if the power light stays on?
• Are you seeing black screen/blank screen when you tried to turn on his laptop?
• What troubleshooting steps has your son done so far to resolve it?

Meanwhile, if you're seeing a blank screen/black screen, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
article on how to troubleshoot black screen errors. You can choose which best describes your issue.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
