Buy one of these. MAC MINI. Poor man's Apple. Great machine. Half the price of regular MAC.

Bought a Dell desktop a year ago. Lasted long enough for me to transfer most of my stuff to it, then died. Their 3rd world tech support was a nightmare (actually the software side of their house seemed competent - not the hardware side). Finally managed to erase my stuff by pulling the hard disk, scrubbing, replacing, and then sent it back to them. Bought an HP with no problems or regrets.

It is most likely the video portion which is causing your problems. When my wife's machine stopped working I simply added in an inexpensive stand alone video card and it has worked fine ever since.
My other four AMD based machines ALL have stand alone video cards.
I believe that the cause of your problem is inadequate cooling for the CPU/GPU unit and it is the fault of whoever assembled the machine for you in that they failed to ensure adequate cooling.
An Intel machine might run cooler but one still has to be cautious with any combined CPU/GPU processor as they run hotter than stand alone devices.
for what it is worth, three of my machines are "high end" AMD processor based machines which I built myself, with the fourth being a lower powered machine which was top end when I built it.
Nice bunch of Libs you have there.
The tech guys say it’s paradise.
You can ride your motorcycle 10 months out of the year.
But, and this is a bummer for me, despite the fact that they have loads of exotic Boa species there, they are not allowed to own any.
It’s kinda like how we’re not allowed to capture and keep any native reptiles.
It was very many years ago and probably couldn't find it anymore. Somewhere around the Florida election recount debacle.
LOL
Yet I would *love* running wild and free with the native slithers.
[maybe nekkid, even]
:D
If using Firefox on Youtube then it is Firefox. It use to reboot my pc after it crashed when I left Firefox open during the day. I suspect on of the many add on’s I had was really doing it. I removed them and added back what I wanted (leaving several off) and the problem went away.
There’s one born every minute.
Ducking...
That's just it. It hasn't happened since I removed the YouTube Flash add on from Firefox and theoretically might not ever happen again. But there's no way to know that, and what happened should never have happened with a brand new computer anyway. I've been advised by several people, including one at the store where I bought it, to bring it back. For the same price I can have another computer with an Intel processor.
Everything I do here is a chance. If I don't return this tomorrow I never will, because it's the last day.
I really prefer to play YT with Flash in Firefox, btw.
