If it wasn't for the price and the time at which I purchased this PC, I would have never bought this thing but now at least I have peace of mind expanding my knowledge due to the amount of troubleshooting I endured. #Desktop destroyer black screen upgradeI immediately pulled the GPU, cleaned off the old thermal paste, applied new paste and now my PC is FANTASTIC!!! I'm still going to upgrade this 550 power supply to a 750 because I'm hoping to upgrade my GPU when all this madness is over (yes, I'm keeping hope alive).
