You probably need to enable the iGPU in the BIOS. 

You can repair it... or you can go to some service center and ask them to repair it.
 
If you're good with soldering iron, you can repair it yourself. 
 
unscrew the circuit board to figure out the footprint of the sata connector. Buy the sata connector from Digikey or Mouser or other distributors ... example : https://www.digikey.com/products/en/connectors-interconnects/pluggable-connectors/443?k=&pkeyword=sata&sv=0&pv28=399956&sf=1&FV=-8|443&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&pageSize=25
 
That is probably surface mount, all in one connector , something like : https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/3m/5622-6309-ML/3M5555-ND/1207097
 
Just to recover data from the drive, you could carefully solder a few tiny wires to those gold plated pads and then solder them to a plug:

Drive can be powered from a separate computer with a plain sata cable.

Just buy a new (or cheap 2nd hand) drive instead.

that is ground pin, it might still work. 

I like new toys, but this may be repairable. It may be possible to buy a new controller board that'll have new pins on it. Otherwise a professional should be able to figure it out.

This MAY be a dumb question, but using your estimates, how many years will it take to be actually able to travel to the moon as a citizen?
 
 
my estimate: 30-50 years

Depends on how you look at it.
For example, the first normal flights there will probably be 15 years away, but flights there like we have flights to Spain or Italy now.. That's probably some more years away.
That is assuming it's even interesting to go to the Moon, which I doubt it would be for most.

well then
 
should have read that

makes sense

I would probably go for a laser mouse from Logitech like this:

now thats a bizarre problem
 

did a BSOD occur? if so, please list the reason why the BSOD occured
(blue screen of death)

Back in 6th grade (im now in 9th) I was classified as the most Tech-Savvy person in Grade 6. Everytime a person or the teacher needed help. They would come up to me and ask me. Now at first it might seem like a great experience but your wrong. I had people from other classes come up to me AND also come up to me when I was not here for a test and I needed to focus. One person (i'll call him Bill just for the sake of this arguement). He came up to me and asked me. Why does your laptop have LED Lights. And essentially he started acting like a smartass and saying how the "LED Lights" (AKA RGB Lights) were connected to your battery and every component and saying how it will damage your laptop making it last only for 2 years max. 

CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED can also be tied in to IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

damn you, you are lucky that you guys use windows laptops
 
at my place, they use freaking chromebooks

Why the hell is everyone ranting about Walmart's new line of OP PC's? They aren't a scam at all? It's just error by people who work at the warehouse. Obviously you'd expect that they would make a mistake. Who wouldn't make a mistake working at a large-ass 34,000 SQ FT Warehouse? With almost 400 Thousand loads and items in stock? People the the Gamer's Nexus are just making a big-ass rant on how they "scammed" the people who bought it, and yes, the Anti-OP-PC Community thinks that Walmart treats their employees like a slave. I mean. It's not supposed to be a PC bought by an enthusiast. It's pretty much a birthday gift for a kid who got all A's on their report cards. Also, all the employee's are instructed to just build a PC. A company probably gave them some booklet guides on how to do it. The assemblers aren't some PC enthusiast who's a Jedi Master at assembling PC's. They are just simply people with a secondary job because they are in University/College. Or they are in their early 30's to late 50's. That's all. 
 
 

Let me touch on this bit. Them selling something for pretty much any price is not "scam-ish." You are easily able to look in to it and make a decision. It is the consumers responsibility to find out if the value is there and make an informed decision. The price is fully disclosed and the decision is 100% up to the consumer.
 
"Scam-ish" would be them listing the price of the item with details then you ordering said item and instead getting something under spec or completely different that described. I know this happend to one of the reviewers, but this was a shipping error and now them trying to scam him. They quickly resolved it, which means they weren't out to intentionally take advantage.
 
So you can say the item isn't of good value, but that doesn't make it a scam.

Today is literally my Bday and it put me very close to hitting that 40 mark. I mean my grandfather who passed away about 5 years ago in his late 80's is the the one who actually taught me how to use a computer and also purchased me my first machine.
 
This was back in the black and white monitor days with modems that you just put the phone on a base. So while he did come to me in the later years if he had PC problems he was also more than capable of figuring it out himself if needed.
 
The truth is we are living in an age where information is literally a quick search away. So thanks to channels like LTT if someone has an issue with their new OP machine a quick google search will bring them to sources like LTT where they can find an easy and painless solution.
 
Lastly, these aren't bad machines. The front of the case being very restrictive does stink, but it isn't a complete deal breaker and I expect the next revision to do something about it. The prices on them have dropped also so they are more in line with the price of the components. They aren't a replacement for building your own system, but they do fill the niche they were made for.

I wanna convince my teacher that I'm the best with technology knowledge.
 
Any ideas?

Please help
 
 

PSU doesn't matter for consumers, the only thing that matters is if the computer works. I can place a bargain PSU in my editing rig/gaming rig and it will work, obviously, I won't do that but you get it. Great Wall is a decent manufacturer and yes, they do have a place in the industry. Sure their hardware components might have cut-corners or they might not look good, but atleast they work for the time being.  

I'm pretty much neutral, I don't agree with their business practices and at the same time I don't agree they should be getting hate.
 
 

Ok. Everyone just calm down for a second. I would like to start by saying that I watched both Steve and Linus' videos and while some valid points have been made, there are people in this thread who do not seem to understand some key points here.
Firstly, I think some of you don't realize that the scam people are referring to is the fact that Steve over at Gamers Nexus was sent the wrong model of the system, being accidentally shipped the lower end model when he paid for the higher end one. While this IS a problem on Walmart's end that they claimed they would help with, and I personally do not know how many people other than him had this issue, I don't think it's fair to say that these PCs are actually a scam, assuming you do get the right model. To those of you who are arguing that it is a "scam" ONLY because they are "charging too much" and that "DIY is better" clearly do not understand the place in the market for pre-built machines. Obviously, there is typically going to be markup with a prebuilt because the system builder that you are buying from (in this case Walmart) has to spend money to get people to build the machines (regardless of their age or pay rate) as well as people to decide what parts go into it, not to mention marketing and graphic design etc. This aspect is no different from other system integrators (SIs) that actually do build relatively high quality towers (see Linus' new video series for some examples). While most people on this forum would agree (myself included) that building your own PC is not very hard and will almost always save you a lot of money, there are people in this world that will buy a pre-built either due to a lack of technical knowledge, or simply because they want to get straight to using their PC without any effort going into picking out parts or putting them together, and while they're at it they probably get a warranty too depending on the brand. Acknowledging that pre-built systems, although generally a lesser value, do have a place in the market (even if it's not for you), then we can address the main issue here, which is the questionable build quality. The parts Walmart has chosen to put into this build, especially the motherboard and power supply, are in fact sketchy, as noted by both reviewers, and the thing with the GPU arriving unplugged is an odd issue with a nevertheless relatively easy fix. Although it is clear that Walmart cut some corners to lower their own costs, everyone (assuming the shipping issue gets sorted out between models) is still getting what they technically paid for. Most people will get hardware that is more than adequate to play the games they want to play, even if the thermals of the case are not very good. In the end there wasn't any "fraudulent" activity that would constitute a scam here. I think this is just Walmart's lack of knowledge in the PC market. This is definitely not the first poorly designed pre-built ever. TL;DR: While Walmart has some kinks to work out in the process, people are still technically getting what they paid for, and it's not uncommon for pre-builts to cost more than their value in raw parts anyway. I don't think Walmart is intentionally trying to rip off consumers, but rather just don't have the knowledge or experience necessary to be a quality contender in the pre-built market.

I'm not a rep for Walmart. I'm pretty much defending them from the hate they are getting.
 
Plus, almost EVERY company does this sort of business practice, including Dell, Cyberpower, Acer, HP and more, including Hardware manufacturers.
