iBUYPOWER Gamer Gears of War 988 Core 2 Quad Q8300(2.50GHz) 8GB DDR3 750GB NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit - Retail

 

Hopefully I'll get a replacement soon!

Love the specs

The computer restarts every 15-20 minutes. Very disappointed! I'm a little aggravated that you have to go through hoops just to return the computer

If you look at IBuyPower's Support forum a lot of people are having the exact same problem with this computer right now. This is very frustrating. I hope that IBuyPower's response to this situation is swift and effective.

Great specs, was running Empire total war on high specs pretty smooth

As everyone else has said, there are a lot of random reboots. They seem to happen mostly when I am playing a game, however there is no discernible pattern. I've been troubleshooting the issue very intensely for about a week and cannot seem to pin it down

Randomly reboots - useless

 

One very unsatisfied customer with very disappointing purchase.

The specs are nice on paper

The machine as came is pretty much useless. It reboots after every 10 mins or so. I haven't been able to install my programs yet - every time it would reboot in the middle of the install

Locks up regularly

 

I'm going to attempt to get a replacement from iBUYPOWER, we'll see how that goes.

Machine arrived and everything looked good at initial setup. Plenty of speed and everything installed and ready to go

The whole machine freezes regularly. Sometimes just a few minutes after bootup, sometimes hours later. When this happens, the only solution is to power off

Beautiful Machine Lock-ups galore

 

Here's to my replacement computer arriving in tip-top shape.

Like I said it a beautiful machine and the specs seem great. It looks well made but again I haven't actually ever been able to use it for more than a short period of time. The customer service is tops in my book. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly

Like the previous review stated, it locks up. Alot. I never got mine to work at all. It just turns on then off. Whenever it feels like it, or it would lock up. I didn't get anywhere near installing a game so who knows what my results will be

Terrible

 

Good gaming machine when it runs. Still not receiving full 60 fps when playing WoW with all of the settings turned up

I started it up. Updated drivers. Then the lock ups came, the machine booted up and locked on the starting vista screen. Rebooted and everything worked until it locked up during game play. Every 5-10 minutes the entire pc locked up. Replaced the video...
