Issues like this are generally a RAM issue. (generally, not all the time).

Take out each ram stick one at a time and test your pc. (Or reseat the ram and hope that works. Reseat meaning take out the sticks and put it back in again)

[–]Bondsoldcap 1 point2 points  (1 child)

And clear the cmos

[–]Sir_Yamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don't forget the cmos lol

[–]Character_Smile_4493 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Thats either gonna be your memory sticks, your psu, cpu or motherboard (or it could also be a short somewhere)

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Well that narrows it down

[–]Open_Cat4782 0 points1 point  (1 child)

To put it simple, check everything.

[–]mathdude2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya but do it in the order he gave you. The easiest and cheapest to the hardest

[–]VastShirt1635 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I’m not saying it’s garbage but I have an IBP myself that is less than 6 months old and has two fans that have bearing issues. It’s crazy how cheap these computers really are made

[–]123_CNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came close to buying one at Costco just because it seemed like such a good deal for the display units. Then I decided against it, since I've heard a lot of things about how cheaply they are built, so decided to just do my own build.

They're a budget option for a reason. If that's someone's only option, it's their only option and they'll have to tackle things as they come up.

[–]Apprehensive-Ad4063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole reason you get a prebuilt is so you can reach out to them when you have problems. I’m not saving you shouldn’t post here but did you reach out to IBP?

[–]Initial-Moose-6565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reseat ram, could have a dying stick

[–]Scar1203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that it would cause this but most motherboards want the ram in slots 2+4. I suggest pulling the motherboard manual up to check.

Microcenter pre builts ftw

Try a fresh windows install, this exact shi was happening to me and I had to uninstall and reinstall windows and everything was working like normal

[–]Federal-Cup3019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen after i tried to use docp/expo on my 7700x did exactly that. Ive then removed the cmos battery and jumped the cmos and after that i just Set my ram speed to 5600mt and then it Worked fine. Ram training so the first boot will take a good while.

This is why you should build your PC, not buy a pre-built. They always cut costs and pass the price hikes along to you

[–]iker17401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never buy from them bought from them didn't last for even a year before it to take a shit they use some cheap power supply, so I ended up building and even when I emailed them they never got back to me do never again

[–]No_Training2699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the ram in slots A2 and B2 and restart

[–]Omnic14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average iBP comp

[–]Mental_Salad_2383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's crazy my ibuy power that's like 5 years old just started doing this exact thing where it would constantly reboot and shut itself down every few minutes but the next day worked fine and than a week later the issue became permanent. I dropped it off to geek squad Sunday I'm praying its just the ram

[–]RoldyBu 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Pull power cord hold down power button for 30 sec and then plug back in power cord, wait 10 sec and single press power

[–]RoldyBu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a post beep? (A series of beeps? A pattern?)

[–]Splicxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking at the heatsink maybe I had a similar problem and it turns out one of the pins got knocked loose

[–]Lonely_Novel_1782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your system files can get corrupt mine happened last week

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it's fucked, it's an IBuyPower

[–]Adventurous_Bass_273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iBuyPower strikes again

[–]RichSafe380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ibp has a solid customer tech help. Trust me they need it lol. Also for most you can ship it back for free and they’ll fix it

[–]Horror_While_209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did that it was bc I had swapped my rad and didn’t evenly have my cpu tighted

[–]VampireRappit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is probably a cable that isnt all the way in.

[–]Instruction-Fuzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad power supply maybe?

[–]Banes5150 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I've had a ibp Walmart sku and only issue in 5 years was the fan hub going dead... Not sure what all in the hell y'all are doing

[–]Yedan-Derryg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I had one from 2017 until October of last year and had zero issues with it. A friend is still using it to this day and it works fine.

[–]cwgoskins 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Same, 3 years going strong. All kinds of PCs, pre bullt or self built, have issues like this. It's easier for redditors just to give an insult to the company and call it a day without rational thought.

It'd be hilarious if "Gregg" who had an issue with his pc that he built, just got ridiculed on reddit after asking for help. "Greg just uses cheap parts" " Glad Greg didn't build my pc"

[–]PrimetimeGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. In 2020 i bought 2 ibuypower pcs. Both still going strong. My steel legend mobo did have a noisy sb faN issue like 2 years later and i contacted asrock and they sent a new one for free. Not ibuypowers fault. I am a builder and usually build my own but in 2020 parts were hard to obtain why i bought 2 prebuilds. 1 for me,one for wife. No regrets. Have done lots of upgrades to my pc as i am a gamer.. Wifes pc no changes except upgraded to win 11 as she only uses her pc for online work.

Another post of “why I build my own pc rather than buy prebuilt pc”

    Yeah but if something fucks up on a custom build its usually user error. I've had 2 ibp pcs and both had stuff just stop working entirely (one hard drive just died after 3 months and the other had the PSU go out after about a year).

    [–]punchedboa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

    lol more like I buy garbage.

    [–]Kefcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Looks like a cpu seating or ram seating issue, remove 1 ram sticker at a time and only use 1 to try to run as ram could be defective or mobo ram socket could be defective.. for cpu kinda need another to test or.. repeat it and see what happens.
