How does the "TWG 3YR Repair/Replace" work for a PC that keeps BSOD?
In May of 2021 I purchased an HP Omen desktop for $2,049 along with the $299 warranty. The computer has worked well but recently started BSOD. I reinstalled Windows and all was well for two months and now it's stuck in an endless self repair/BSOD loop.
I was originally able to reinstall Windows using the key from HP and the Windows tool on a USB. Unfortunately, HP will not provide me with a key and I'm stuck with the endless self repair failed loop.
Can I take this to MC using my warranty? How long do repairs take? When I bought this PC I was stationed at Fort Knox KY and the Cincinnati store was a little over an hour away. I'm now stationed in California and the nearest MC is 3.5 hours away. Dropping off and picking up isn't really an option.
This is not just a gaming PC but also for online college. What can MC do in this situation?
Thank you!

After several attempts I was able to reinstall Windows. Albeit I'm not sure what I'll do about the Windows key, I'm still getting BSOD for memory. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and it identified "hardware problems were detected." I've done as much basic troubleshooting shooting as I could on my end.
Am I able to walk into MC with the desktop and have them replace the memory under warranty? -
