Refurb PC DOA

Ordered a refurb Lenovo desktop from Amazon. Only a little over $200 with a 250Gb SSD and i5 processor.
Came in pretty quickly, set it up and it worked great....for a couple hours. Long enough to transfer my photos and some music over to it, and set up my accounts. Then it shutoff and won't start. Nothing, just completely dead.
Now I need to get my info off of a dead machine. That'll teach me to buy a "renewed" computer.

Sounds like the power supply- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Dealing with massive computer issues myself right now. My main PC crashed from a failed power supply, and the new one I got does not have enough USB slots for all my devices and does not output sound in a way that can be used by my Pioneer receiver.
Looks like I will be rebuilding the old PC with an upgraded power supply and a 1TB internal hard drive and using an 8TB NAS for external storage.The Gear...
