well this went sideways

or call it the curse of the threes....

my desktop is having issues where it crashes. or more specifically it goes blank screens then the fans speed up to a super high rate and i gotta chop power and kill it. 

talked to the folks that built it. was gonna get on with a tech rep this morning and swap wires. but then i lost the wifi card after another crash. and dont exactly have a 12FT CAT5 cable to run to the router

this on top of the system not recognizing the cooler, even though it is cooling the cpu. yes, its a fancy water cooled deal with a monitor that should let me play what ever video i want rather than scrolling "TRYX" all day long. although that is the least major issue

thankfully, the folks at xidax are taking it back to fix it up. also thankfully i have a laptop for backup (what im typing this on).  but i'm without my main system for about a month.  extra frustrating when i just bought it in May.  third major VA disabilty bump, third system from them

still love em to death, but this one has been the worst experience of hte three

nice thing about xidax, life time warranty. reality on that is lifetime labor, about 5 years on parts. theyre even willing to help with screen replacement on the laptop i got in '15 from them, and gave to my daughter 4 years ago
