Fault - returned to the manufacturer
The PC that will randomly corrupt .exe files after a standard reboot.
And it's impossible to reinstall the OS.
I'm thinking of sending the PC back and getting a refund.
Glad to hear it.

A very good PC. The strong point is the screen, which is really fluid and particularly pleasant. The only downside is the keyboard, which I'm having trouble getting used to.
Perfect laptop for MAO and gaming, with MSI reliability
All that's left to do is add a 4Tera SSD and it'll be at the top of its game?
no problems so far..... gamer power is there! installation went smoothly.
20/20 for the processing of my order and for the tracking and shipping of my computer. I recommend LDLC.COM
See you soon for other acquisitions.
;)
