Blue screened continually

Pros: The machine came and ran great on ultra graphics settings for the mmo Rift and delivered a solid 65+ fps in huge warfronts for roughly 3 hours total of gameplay. After that the machine took a dump.

Cons: Multiple calls placed to Ibuypower and each tech rep I spoke with had different ideas some conflicting on how to deal with the continual blue screen memory dumps and failed windows launches. I have wasted over 12 hours reformatting, reinstalling drivers, removing ram sticks and video card, performing memory tests and disk error checkers with no answer or cause for its issues. Now I'm faced with the choice of either repackaging the entire system and shipping it back or gambling on a corrupt hard drive. Also the tower is cheap and is racked out of square with uneven seams. Another nice touch from Ibuypower was to leave out one of the spacer plates from the front drive bays leaving a gaping hole.
