I Hate HP
I cannot play videos. Doing so will always lock up the system yielding the above blue screen of death! And, on occasion, it'll just freeze when it's sitting idle. I've tried a bunch of things, but so far no luck. The O/S is current and up to date, as is the BIOS, and drivers. HP has what appears to be good diagnostic tools built in, both to check H/W and S/W...ran them both, and it found nothing. The blue screen above always indicates that it is gathering information and will re-boot automatically...wrong, it does nothing and stays on 0 and requires a hard shut down and restart. I've looked for help on Google, lot's of suggestions and subsequent tries, but nothing I've tried has resolved the problem. Seems like a watchdog timer issue! Only a year and a half old, out of warranty, and I'm ready to put a bullet in it! The headaches started when new, and I didn't want to continue with McAfee anti virus program that was preinstalled on a trial basis. I preferred to go with Webroot, and after I chose not to continue with McAfee I was literally inundated with McAfee SPAM, and that continued for months. It almost seemed like a revenge that was built in, and triggered for me not signing up with it!
