Does this still have problems with Blue Screens etc.? This is a great deal for this tower, but I want to know if it is worth buying if it will break.

I've never had a blue screen with this PC, ever, and it's been running continuously since I bought last year. From what I understand--I'm no expert on this--blue screens generally are caused by outdated device drivers. You can upgrade all the drivers on a PC with a program such as Slim Drivers.

I have had no issues with this computer. To date I still think it is one of the greatest laptops I've ever had. I would have preferred it with Windows 7 versus 8, but that's not the units fault. When I first got this, i had some major issues with WiFi in my home. I called Samsung and they walked me through a fix in settings for it and it has rocked since then. If you are considering this computer, do yourself a favor a get one. It is extremely light, may be lighter than a Macbook Air. Everyone that sees it loves it. Nothing it better than a solid state HDD. It boots up in about 2 seconds. So yes, I'm Satisfied with the laptop and Samsung in general. I have had no issues with this computer.

Sorry to hear you had problems with yours. I've had zero problems with mine. Mine is running extremely well, due to the regular maintenance and upkeep I do on it. Like with any computer or device you have to maintain it in order for it to run efficiently. Great machine and still highly recommend.

I have had no problems at all. Great machine. I combined it with an HP flat screen monitor.

It was more than I could handle. We sold it last month. Mine was defective as well. It had a slice in one of the yellow towers when we bought it. The company would only take it back if I paid for the shipping there and back for a new one. So, overall I was not happy with the purchase. I did not find it to be as durable as advertised either. Maybe you should contact the company about a warranty if you have not done so yet. Good luck!

I just got mine, I'll try and remember to report back once we've tried it as loadbalance/failover is what we purchased it for. In the mean time I will note a lot of the reviews up are on the older side, I was looking for load balancers both here and on newegg and at newegg this model has 100 more reviews than it has here and its a solid 4/5 there so thats pretty encouraging.

I have been using this computer as a work computer without any problems at all. The one thing I would suggest is getting a 550 watt power supply and changing it out as soon as your get the system. I have found lots of people have had problems with the incredibly wimpy one that comes with it.

I can just say this, I knew that my computer was crashing almost every time I used it, I had 3 computer people out to check it and they all thought they did, but the next day it did the same. I knew the monitor was ok and speakers also. Everything was hooked up and working just fine. I was so happy I finally took the time to just get a new tower. You can always order one and hook it up, Amazon takes them back and so does HP. I had ordered one from Office Max that did not have enough power so called returns they sent a pick-up for it and I didn't have to pay postage. I ordered fromAmazon as my granddaughter said they were cheaper and they were, plus the one I sent back had windows 8 on it and this one has windows 7 which im familiar with. So go ahead and order one, ask them before if they'll take it back with no problems. Good luck.

Has what been fixed? I have an occasional problem where the display driver crashes without warning. About 2/3rds of the time it recovers by itself otherwise I have to reboot the machine. When I say occasional, mostly I go months without interruptions and the I have it happen several times in a row and then it stops. This is the only error I know of. This tablet is a very good eReader for me, I cannot speak for others. I virtually never have troubles with the touch Windows key when I use the tablet without the keyboard. The keyboard conceals the touch Windows key so you never have any problems when the keyboard is attached.

That's up to you. I bought the tower because mine fried. If you want to upgrade then sure. Otherwise that is your decision.

I recently flashed to v 1.8 without issues. Blue screens are usually a bad/corrupt driver or an actual hardware issue. Maybe use WhoCrashed from Respendence (free) to read the crash dump files. My boss's computer blue screens on occasion, and WhoCrashed identified that it was a driver installed by his AOL Desktop software. Even the most random driver or software can do it. Update graphics driver, etc. and see if it still happens. Use the MSI Live Update 6 software if you haven't yet. Good luck.

I've had absolutely no problems with this motherboard. I use it for streaming in 1080p for hours a day. Just make sure you install the drivers from the maker's website before use!For more video compression and audio editing, this thing is perfectly fine. Not exactly a powerhouse, but it doesn't stutter.

I had mine for several months and never had any problems at all, well I wish I had win 7.I use mine.for work everyday. I did put a start up menu when I got the machine, made a big difference.

Yes I messed up and bent a pin in one of the connectors, so it wasn't the hardware for me, it was my own clumsiness. So you might want to take a look at the pins in your connectors. I read elsewhere that someone wasn't getting enough power to the camera and monitor and that's what caused the blue screen for them.

No problems, mine is still working fine after two years. I just wish it had more RAM, but I can live with it. Have dropped it a number of times with no damage.

It is great. I did have an artifact problem with mine and had to rma it, but otherwise the card is great. It runs everything I have at the highest graphics without sacrificing speed. They have a newer card, but I think this one is faster than that for a lower price.
