Hello everyone, this is my first post here so sorry if I am not exactly the best forum typer but I have been going back and forth and need some input. About a week ago I bought a new Acer predator Orion 3000 P03-630 off of Amazon.jp and figured it would be a great entry into desktop pcs as im a student and saved up a while to buy it. Right out of the box however I've been having issues. The first glaring issue is ethernet doesn't work, I've tried troubleshooting the ethernet system and deleting/redownloading the drivers and so far nothing has worked. It barely loads websites and sometimes not at all. It has worked once in 7 days and when I reset the computer to update it it stopped working again. Another issue I'm having is random stuttering. The screen will freeze and it will make a stuttering noise of whatever audio you're listening to then unfreeze and continue as normal. I have tried everything from checking cpu temps to reseating the ram but nothing has helped as it still freezes even at low temps. As a disclaimer I haven't tried deleting and redownloading video drivers for this issue yet. Still out of the box it is a little disturbing. Lastly my front case fan has oil coming out of it, I haven't done anything crazy with the fan other than turning on the predator gaming mode as the cpu can get warm which the cpu cooler is another thing I might wind up replacing as it gets really warm. I really want to like this computer and I spent alot on it but these issues are making me question if I should swap out some parts or try to send it back for possibly a refund, I have been obsessing over this thing for days and its driving me up a wall trying to find fixes for a bunch of problems on a brand new prebuilt. Honestly I will take any and all input you can give me.
