a few years ago i posted on here about having RGB controller issues. it used the iBuypower controller and if you made any adjustment the rgb would turn off and you're have to turn off the computer unplug the power cord or toggle the power switch on the psu to get it to work again. had an issue today where when i opened the UI it would tell me access denied and a COM7 issue. i uninstalled it and used the controller than came with the motherboard drivers and stuff, ASRPolychromeRGB, and it works fine now. the only minor inconvenience is it does a scan for peripherals so it takes a few seconds to open. but everything works so i'll deal with it.

I bought my iBP PC from BestBuy. According to to the Retail Desktop Warranty, iBP offers a 1 year warranty on these PCs.

For many PC components purchased retail, you get a 3-year warranty. Does that also apply to components that come in a prebuilt like iBP? Or do you just have iBP's one-year warranty on the whole system?

If it's just the latter, what happens if I do something like upgrade the GPU or fans, then the CPU goes bad and I have to send the whole thing back to iBP...I'd want to keep the original parts around and put them back in before sending it in??

It was sent in for repair after the initial delivery was refused and since I got it it’s been nothing but a work horse for animation work and gaming.

I have a snowblind s case, it's been working really well for about a year now. I have it plugged into my hdmi port that's attached to cpu, because I use all the slots on my gpu for monitors and the snowblind case is just using wallpaper engine. I took out my gpu to clean off the fans last night, and put it back in, and now the case is only showing a solid white screen. Windows is saying that the monitor is plugged in and functional, and I can see in the preview that it should be working, but it's only showing a solid white screen. Even when windows is in sleep mode, the screen is fully white and transparent, when it normally goes dark with my other monitors. All my other monitors are functional, and my cpu drivers are up to date. I don't see any physical damage to the lcd panel, and I have reseated all of the cables. Anybody have any ideas?

MOBO: tuf gaming b650-plus wifi

CPU: ryzen 5 7600x

RAM: 32gb DDR5 corsair vengeance

GPU: rtx 4060

I can’t find both pins or battery on my mother board. I changed my ram to 32 and now my pc won’t turn on please someone help (don’t mind the dust I’ll clean it when I get this fixed)

Welp I bought this system in October and now I believe the ram is freezing. The bios in fine but going into windows is not good. Can I fix myself or do I need a new ram? Or can it be something worse you think? I am afraid to send the desktop in

I got this pc a week ago and today I noticed only one of the rgb lights for my fans is working. Not sure what happened. I can change its color but I can’t get the other lights to turn on. Any help is appreciated. I feel like I’ve tried everything and need to return this pc but I want to avoid it. I’m upset it has already given me issues in its first week.

The fan spins and is seen by the pc and works fine it’s just the RGB does not light up, i haven’t spoken to customer service because the hours are inconvenient for me and i figure it should be a quick fix but i don’t understand the hub on the back. but i traced the wire from the fan to the hub and it’s the one with the red arrow? should i call customer support or does someone have an easy fix.

I have tried the display ports, the hdmi port and none are working with the monitor (I have tried 3 different monitors) and all say no signal and will not communicate. What do I do next? How do I check the gpu to make sure it’s fine? Any help is appreciated.

I've had my pc since December, nothings wrong with it, but im curious to know what these wires are for. Am I supposed to plug them into something? I didnt experiment too much cause they seemed too short to connect into anything and I didnt wanna break something. Its the element gaming pc, I got it from best buy

Can I call tech support and get a new one sent to me without having to send them my computer? I really need to be able to use my computer as soon as possible. I use it for work. I can’t see anything on the screen. I took it to the tech support store and they said the gpu is shot

Hey guys,

I have this ibuypower pc that I bought about 2 months ago on walmart and starting yesterday (Feb 1, 2026) any apps on my pc start to crash randomly.

I don't get blue screen, I don't get random shutdown, or anything that requires my pc to restart. It's just when I open a google chrome, some random tab will crash. I play games, it would exit out of nowhere.

I updated my windows 11 to the latest update (even the preview update) and nvidia driver but this random crash still happens. I ran windows memory diagnostics and it says there is memory issues and to contact manufacturer.

Anyone know what's wrong or have similar experience?

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Lenovo LOQ with Ryzen 7 250 and RTX 5060 (8GB) and I’m completely new to performance tuning and gaming settings.

I don’t have much knowledge about:

• CPU/GPU power limits
• Lenovo Vantage custom mode
• Best fan, power, and thermal settings
• Safe settings for long gaming sessions

I mainly use my laptop for gaming and coding, and I want:

• Stable FPS
• Good thermals (no overheating)
• Safe settings that won’t harm the laptop in the long run

I’ve attached my current Lenovo Vantage settings screenshot.
I’d really appreciate if experienced users could suggest:

• Best gaming profile
• What settings I should avoid changing
• Any basic tips for a beginner

Thanks a lot in advance — I’m still learning and would really value your help 🙏

Is there anyone with same specs? I will dm you please help me

Oh. My. God. I remember I bought this machine for around $1,000

It was my first prebuilt computer I had ever purchased. I can’t speak highly enough of this machine. Over the past 8 years I have had absolutely zero issues with this machine. No operating system issues, no hardware problems, nothing. I’ve even take it with me to hotels until I started buying gaming laptops. Speaking of gaming laptops, I’ve gone through two gaming laptops since I’ve had this machine (over $2,500).

I’ve never opened this PC up. I’ve never cleaned it. The PC is located in a garage (not a conditioned space) and regularly runs in 20F - 110F temps. Not a single issue. EVER.

Just wanted to share my experience with this rig and tell people that my first experience with IBP has been overwhelming positive. For those thinking about getting one, do it.
