if your computer is still under warrenty (as it's very new) take it back to the shop and get them to do the work (fixes) for you.

Take it back to the shop - if it's only 3 weeks old, it should be under warranty, and they should fix it for you. It's not a free service - you would have paid for it when you purchased the PC, so make use of it!
