If you have a problem, don't look to the price tag. Rather test, test,
test. The first test is using the mem test in your boot options. If you
have a bad memory location nothing will work without a flaw. Test the
hard drive for failing surface. These two tests will confirm any simple
problem found on lowest priced equipment that may cause a problem with a
computer. The fact that Ubuntu starts with a test of the hard drive
every so many starts will attest to that. Most other problem will not
discriminate between computer brands or price tags.
