    This is a review of the Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A desktop PC. This version has a 9th Gen Intel Quad Core i3-9100 with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe SSD. The model number is: 90LV000AUS
    I think this is a decent home desktop PC, but the ThinkCentre PCs are higher quality and business class.

    I have this computer, bought it last Thursday. Had one issue, tried to access the Bios F1 and F2, couldn't get into it. to set auto start up. all I got was a black screen. Called Lenovo Support, they couldn't figure it out, said files were corrupted so take it back, got another same thing...had Staples techs try to access it. got what they called Black Screen Of Death. use to be blue. I said forget the bios, they set it up from my old pc. I later discovered the problem. I thought maybe the monitor had something to do with it. HDMI set up. I hooked up the VGA cable, when I did that suddenly the BIOS lit up. Apparently it will not come up on Monitor when hooked by HDMI. Monitor works fine everywhere else, but not in BIOS. I was surprised how Lenovo and Staples I.T. [dial up prodigies] didn't pick up on this. I called them to let them know what the deal was. All that time trying to figure it out, it was just a cable issue. Computer works great. Replaces my old 2008 Dell computer. Also mine does not have the C USB on the front or back, only 2 USB on the back, 4 up front with card reader. I have mine sitting sideways with the monitor on top. The door is flimsy and hard to open so I put it on top of a plate and can access stuff behind the door. Don't like having to leave the door open with stuff plugged in, looks kinda sloppy, must be designed for college kids. Looks like a dorm room. lol.

The AMD processors are much better and faster. you hvae 2 slots. so you can buy 2 8gb Corsair Vengence 3600 or whatever has the best rating and best price down to 2666 speed. the video on opening up the box is easy and you will see the RAM sticking up out of 2 slots. just move the grippers on each of the long sides f the memory over and it will pop out. Look carefully as you are removing it where the "notch" is so you put the new one in with the notch in the same place. Push it down and then lock the side grippers. Yours can also handle 2 16 GB so depending on your budget you can put in 32GB of ram and the computer should handle whatever you are doing easily.

    Ok...here's the scoop:
    I was doing a complete recovery on my computer (the same one in the video). However, when I got to the C drive partitions, I did a big no-no and deleted something I had no business of deleting. When I went to reboot, I got some weird form of "media" message.
    I took it into one of the computer shops here where I live. BUT, the guy working on it wasn't able to get into the bios (mind you, the computer was booting up and going into Windows, but it was extremely SLOW). He was going to consult with one of his co-workers on Monday (he's talking about a possible NEW hard drive).
    I'm hoping somehow this will be an easy fix, as the parts at this place (along with labor) are quite high.
    I really like this computer. I bought it at Best Buy in March of last year. It had the stand-by stuff (CD/DVD RW, media card, etc)., so that's one of the reasons I bought it. The processor is an Intel, and the hard drive is 1 TB.
    If somebody out there has an idea as to what might be going on, I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks.

    Does this use only the TFX power supply? Or can it use the SFX as well? I think TFX can only go to 300w. And regarding the graphics card, can the case take a full size double fan card, or just small single fan card?

      I'd have to measure it, but it is definitely a small form factor PSU. The much bigger issue is the proprietary motherboard connector. It can't take a double fan card, but I'm not completely sure a large single fan card would fit either, give the 3.5" HDD location...

    Well, it's a decent machine for the money but there are far more better options out there. This meets to the level of an inspiron 3000, jumping to a 5000 would net you an entry level graphics and 4 ram slots, something this system obviously doesn't but that said I still think a system at this price point that includes a Nvme drive is pretty impressive and you could go lower and get far worse.

    • @ZipTieNinja

      Adding the 2 fans should be fine, but the graphics card needs more power than the 180w power supply can handle.
      From Nvidia about the 1050ti: "Minimum System Power Requirement 300w".

      The version in this review is Intel. Intel and AMD processors use completely different motherboards and completely different chipsets.

Typically I don't recommend trying to upgrade to processors that weren't offered in your configuration.

Saved him $400 for a drive swap to an SSD, but didn't notice if there was an M.2 slot! I'll have to take another look. Do you have experience with the program "Magical Jelly Bean" to recover separately purchased MSFT Office 365 product keys?

      Not all IdeaCenter PCs or 510A models come with the same 1TB drive. It's luck of the draw what brand and drive you get, so that's just a ridiculous statement.
      It definitely has the M.2 slot on the motherboard, but it may or may not have the bracket with retainer pin (not a screw). If it has WiFi, then it probably does have the bracket, though.

      This system meets the minimum system requirements. It would run better with a dedicated graphics card. This PC will not accept a very powerful card though.

      No. You need dedicated graphics for gaming and the power supply in this PC won't support one. The power supply can't be upgraded either.
