Late March it started acting weird.
Random crashes. Random shutdown and restart.
Had the tower plugged into an big, old battery bank thing.
Computer Management Errors:
Event ID 1796 - Secure Boot update failed. Not enabled. Fixed but only OFF b/c BIOS update.
Event 41 - When it froze/crash I had to shut it down.
*I can't find it now but one listed "power" as the error and after a few hours with some help, narrowed it down to what it could be.
During severe weather (storms/rain/wind) we can get power outtages. I think there was a surge and/or outage which damaged the battery BU and in part the PSU.
The PSU in the pre-built is an Apevia 800W Prestige Power PSU. No one I've spoken to or emailed about this PSU has EVER heard of that brand.
I replaced it with a Corsair RM1000x and one of the next upgrades is the GPU.
I've had no problems or crashes since replacing the PSU.
If anyone reading this plans on getting one, IMO, find out what PSU it has and if WTH....replace it.
