Amazon marketplace purchases - PC broke 6 weeks

Bought a recon PC from an amazon marketplace seller.

Didnt use it much. 2nd time I used it (had it for 6 weeks) it packed up.

Contacted the seller but they seem to be ignoring me. Amazon have been no help either at the moment and even though I've raised a claim it says the vendor has until 28th november to reply.

Noticed in the marketplace advert that it says 1 month RTB warranty. I know item was refurb but surely they cant restrict it to 1 month?

Doesnt the sale of goods act apply here?

    I don't think Amazon Marketplace sell recon stuff anymore, I think it is all sold as used now.

    Powers on but intermittently switches itself off to standby.

    BTW-PC hardware isnt really my speciality but I'm a it consultant.
