Do not by from Tiger Direct

http://consumerist.com/2015/12/28/tigerdirect-has-new-owner-wont-accept-returns/ in a nutshell, The company got bought out and is no longer accepting returns. Whats even worst, is if you get a defective item, they will not even do an exchange.

PC powers off when CPU is not being taxed...CPU/Voltage issue? not virus...

i would call dust as the issue as well... when the cpu is being taxed the fan is moving more, and can blow through it.. i would get a can of air and blow it out, if that doesn't fix it, give us the model and we can probably find a guide for you to disassemble your laptop

Skullcandy sends me an invoice two months later

was the base $39 taken out of your paypal? and if it was, is there another $39 crediting your account back? If there is not a $39 credit back. I would give skullcandy the transaction details from paypal and let them get the money from paypal (as that is who currently has the $$$)
