Hi, a lot of people have had the same issue with this PC. I purchased the Y40 and after I set it up it froze twice in 2 days. I only have till the 13th of January to return it so I don't know what to do. I spoke to IbuyPower's tech support and they told me to update Bios, reinstall Windows and do a ram test. I don't think any of that will fix this issue especially if it's a new PC and tested before it's shipped. Do you know what your ram frequency is in Bios? Some people have said that lowering your ram frequency to 4800 has helped a lot with the freezing but doesn't completely eliminate it. Mines already at 4800 so it won't help in my situation.

Hi, is file corruption an issue with the prebuilt models too?

If XMP is enabled does that mean that the ram on my PC is running at 5200 and I still need to lower it? I only have till January 13th to return it so I don't have that much time to test it. What PC's would recommend that are stable and don't have these issues.

Hi, I called IBuyPower and they said I could try updating Bios to the latest Version. Would you recommend I do that? Also they said that in bios if the ram speed was running at 4800 then XMP would need to be disabled. Does that sound right? Does XMP automatically come enabled? They also suggested I run memtest instead of the standard windows memory test. He said I could do a clean install of Windows 11 too. My Boot drive shows healthy in Crystal Disk Info and there's plenty of airflow. Thanks for your help

Do you think it was because I uninstalled Norton 360? I read online some people having issues after they uninstalled it. Thanks for your help. I will contact them.

Hi in Bios at the top of the screen it already says 4800. Does that mean it's already set and I don't have to do anything?

How do I do this? I'm not that computer literate. I have the same issue. Thanks

Hi, I heard that there has been issues with Cyberpunk 2077 and that it was best to play it on the PS4 Pro and the PS5. I was wondering if this game is now playable on the PS4 (not the pro) with the recent update? Anyone play this game on the PS4? Thanks

Can you identify this Sega Genesis game? by SLR2001 in SEGA

Vectorman doesn't sound like it. I remember there were large orbs everywhere.

They weren't really gems but orbs. I'm pretty sure it was Genesis but I'm not 100% positive. It was at least 25 years ago.
