Holy wow I'm pissed. I bought this computer last week because it was a good deal, and now it's on sale even more (maybe because of all the buyers complaining about the SSD BSOD issue)! Now this is a bonafide steal for a prebuilt. Of course, Walmart is refusing to partially refund me per their policy which sucks. Guess I'll have to reset/repackage/return/reorder.
Anyways, here's my post from the other thread that can help people that are worried about the SSD BSOD issue (check your SSD first to make sure you have the faulty Western Digital one - otherwise this guide is pointless for you):
"Here's the configuration I got:
Motherboard: MSI Pro B650 VC - Wifi
GPU: XFX 7900GRE
RAM: T-Force Vulcan 2x16GB DDR5
Cooling: Hybrid AIO CyberpowerPC branded cooling system. CPU is liquid cooled, but the case also has RGB fans around the exterior too. Fans are soft to moderately loud. When on full blast they sound like a softish white noise machine, which I actually kind of liked.
Hard Drive: Western Digital (WD) Blue SN580 2TB SSD
PSU: Didn't bother checking. It works. Maybe I'll bother unscrewing the cover and checking later.
Noted that the GPU was sagging in the slot so I had to order a $10 GPU support brace to prevent any excess warping (it's a big GPU).
Super easy to dodge the SSD crashing issue. I booted up the computer and set up Windows 11 without connecting to the internet. You can also gamble on setting up W11 with internet if you want. (sounds like some people have had success, others haven't) Here's a quick guide on how to do that:
1: When you reach the setup portion asking for internet, you can press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.
2: Execute OOBE\BYPASSNRO command in the Command Prompt.
3: After executing this command, Microsoft setup will reboot the computer. After the reboot, you'll get a new button option on the same part of the setup asking about connecting that says I don't have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement (it's in small text that's hard to see because Microsoft wants your sweet sweet data). This will allow you to set up the computer with a local ID and password without needing a Microsoft account, and complete the install without connecting to the internet.
That let me set up Windows 11 without internet, likely on the software version that CyberpowerPC set up the computer on that convinced them the computer was good to ship. I had no crashing.
At this point, you could connect to the internet and try to grab the WD SSD firmware update before your computer updates Windows and/or crashes. Of course WD have their own dumb launcher/hub just like every other tech company, so you'll need to grab that to update the hard drive. Here's the link to that (creds to cardcrush on an earlier post on this thread): https://support-en.wd.com/app/ans...l#subject3
You can get the online version if you're connected to the internet, otherwise use another computer to download the offline version to a USB. Copy it to your new computer, install it. Open it up, give it a bit of time to scan your computer (it might look like it freezes for a bit). Then once it recognizes your SSD, an option should pop up under one of the various tabs/menus in the WD hub notifying you that there's an update available. I can't remember if I had to be connected to the internet (I don't think I had to be, since I used the offline install hub). Took a few seconds to update to a newer firmware version, and that was that.
The whole process took me like 10 minutes to do. After that I updated Windows and got all the other various driver/security updates installed (only thing I didn't update to was the newest Windows 24H2 preview - but I think the problem with the SSD became an issue before that was released). Been using the computer intermittently the last two days. No issues with crashing. Only game I've tested atm is Marvel Rivals at 1440p (runs fine on high settings with no issues). Glad Walmart is accepting returns until January 31st at least!
Hope this helps! I'll update this post if things change."
I was one of the people having the BSOD problem. For what it's worth, I emailed Cyberpower about it and they very promptly confirmed it should be addressed with the firmware upgrade and provided instructions, which I did and have not had a problem with it since then. Honestly I went from super frustrated to pretty pleased with it. If I could do it all again at $200 less and knowing up front what the exact problem was going to be and how to fix it, it would be a no-brainer purchase.

Below is what Cyberpower sent to me - note that re the windows reinstall, I did not do a cloud reinstall as I reset and reinstalled multiple times before getting these instructions and, at least at first, cloud reinstall was not working. Instead I did a reinstall from whatever local image was on the SSD. My guess is that if you do the firmware update BEFORE you allow Windows to update, you won't get the BSODs and won't need to reinstall Windows. Their link to the WD/Sandisk firmware support thread was valid and pretty helpful as I was able to install the Western Digital Dashboard from there that made the firmware update relatively automatic and quick.
I am sorry to hear that your PC is having issues. You are correct that the issue is with Western Digital and the most recent Windows update. I advise that you reinstall Windows and then update the SSD firmware by using the guides below. There is also some information in the SSD guide link that tells you about the issue.
Guide to reinstalling Windows (without a USB):
Step 1: At the log-in screen, click on the POWER button located at the bottom right corner
Step 2: Hold the SHIFT key and click on RESTART
Step 3: Let go of the SHIFT key when the PC restarts
Step 4: The PC will restart and enter the Recovery menu.
Step 5: Click on TROUBLESHOOT
Step 6: Click on RESET THIS PC
Step 7: Click on Remove everything
Step 8: Click on Cloud reinstall
Step 9: Click Next, Click Reset, and you are done.

After shopping Black Friday and cyber Monday deals for my new build I wish I had just waited for this. This is a better computer for less money. This is slick but sounds like you need to update the ssd which isn't a huge deal.

So I should do this the moment i turn on the computer if i buy this?
I would check to verify that it's a Western Digital SSD first, as someone in the thread pointed out that it could have shipped with a different SSD that doesn't have the problem with this windows update. If it is Western Digital, absolutely the very first thing you should do with the computer is get the Western Digital Dashboard and update the firmware. Before I got that fixed I went through setting up the PC and trying different things three different times and I would say that each time, the crashes began within two to four hours of the first boot with a fresh install.
Does anyone who purchased this want to chime in with how loud the system is while browsing the web + watching youtube as well as how loud it is when gaming? Thanks in advance!

Would this current deal be just as good? Thoughts on returning the Costco one for this deal?
Features:
14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900F Processor
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 4070 Super Graphics, 12GB
2TB NVMe Solid State Drive
Gaming USB Keyboard + Gaming USB Mouse Microsoft® Windows 11 Home
I bought that Costco deal as well. This machine seems like a better buy for sure! Not sure if I'm willing to box the Intel + NVIDIA system and take it back. Tempting.
