I am so overwhelmed with making choices.
Just bought a new computer and am taking it back.
I got the Asus desktop model M32BF-B03. It restarts all the time for no reason and freezes.
Specs-wise that isn't an unreasonable computer.
(I found specs
***here***). If you got it for the $500 listed on that page, the price seems quite reasonable.
However the HD 8670D graphics seems to be an integrated card according to
***this*** and other sources.
One
***Amazon reviewer*** who had a similar model (ASUS M32BF-US001S) with the same HD 8670D onboard graphics (
***Newegg lists the specs***) also had the random restarting issue, and it went away when the person added a separate video card. So there might be a problem with the onboard HD 8670D graphics in the M32BF series that's causing the reboots.
If you bought the computer from some place like Best Buy, which does onsite repairs, you might ask them if they can add a separate video card to see if it fixes the reboot issue. Be sure they know what types of games you play, because if they think all you play is casual games and solitaire they may add something that's completely inadequate to play adventure games like "Vanishing of Ethan Carter" or "Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments."
