Hello Everyone,
I was at the SITEX 2011 yesterday and I wanted to purchase a desktop for gaming. As I have been thinking of purchasing an Asus for quite sometime, I went to the Asus Booth to check out the desktop.
Initially, I was considering to purchase the CG8250 Desktop PC as it was recommended by HWZ. However, the salesman recommended to get the CM1831 which runs on the AMD Phenom X4 850 platform. He launched some GPU programme on both desktops for me to compare the FPS and the FPS on the AMD platform was 41FPS while the other which runs on Intel i5 was 19FPS.
Thus, I decided to purchase the one which runs on AMD platform. However, when I went home to fix up my PC and tried testing everything out, the desktop run really sluggishly, even slower than my Dell Laptop which runs on Core Duo platform.
When I restarted the PC, the whole system seemed to crashed and there was this error message that says "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key."
This went on for some time and I tried to get to Windows but no avail. After waiting for some time, I tried again and it went to Windows; however, the whole system was really sluggish! After which, it hanged and I had to restart the whole PC.
Upon restarting the PC, the same error message came out again.
It is really very frustrating for me as this was my first Desktop Purchase after a long time and I don't understand why this is happening especially when I heard from my friends that Asus Products are of good quality.
I suspect that the HDD/motherboard may have something to do with this as there have been a clicking sound. Can anyone advise as to what I should do?
1). Bring the PC back to the vendor and exchange for a new one?
2). Bring the PC back to the vendor and top up additional money for the intel i5 model?
3). Call the Asus hotline to repair any affected parts?
By the way, the vendor was @ Notebook-Com Private Limited.
