That's probably not a bad idea - there's some knowledgeable people here, but nowhere as many as you'd find on a dedicated tech form.
For what it's worth, the problem you're having sounds like a hardware problem - so having the manufacturer deal with it is your best bet at this point. Having an early failure like this sucks, but at least you've got a backup PC.
