Brand new $8000 PC doesn't work and Corsair support not responding

I bought a Vengeance a8200 and upon first boot, it doesn't work and I got a blue screen (File: \Windows\system32\ntoskml.exe Error code:0x0000221). It wasn't able to function ever since. I tried with Corsair's live bot with debugging and eventually the bot filed a ticket for me, and the bot told me that I'm outside of my warranty (which is not possible, because this is a brand new PC).

I filed the ticket on Sep 17, 2026, 16:09 PDT.

I got a response on Sep 17, 2026, 16:27 PDT saying this is routed to the System team.

And afterwards, nothing else. I've been updating the ticket with all of the possible debugging I can do, i.e. both SSDs are detected, booting into a live USB works.

Now it's Sep 21st. Haven't heard back at all.

So if you are planning on getting a gaming PC from Corsair, be aware, this might be the situation you get into.

(Not to mention that this PC, upon delivery, didn't require a signature. The delivery person just dropped it at my door without even ringing the bell..)
