    Default FUCK HP!!!!

    I am so fed up with HP... I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER FUCKING THING FROM THEM!! I bought a laptop about a year and a half ago, well from day one it has had a lock up issue where it locks daily pretty much for no reason, They have had it back to them 6 times for repair and never did they fix the problem, now its out of warranty and they wont fix it, so I call thier executive office and they basically say "Oh well, not our problem"

    Dude!!! Get a Dell


    Seriously though, as long as the problem has some documentation dating back before the warranty ran out they would stand behind it until it's fixed.

    yeah I will be doing something and the shit just freezes, and I have to reboot, does it atleast once a day. And they REFUSE to stand behind it even though they see it was having this issue and went back 6 times for the same issue.

    you do a fresh install of windows?
    and did you add ram after you got the laptop?
    one of the pins on the ram could have a short in it thus locking it up.

    I smell spyware and adware. anyways, just let people know that Dell is no better than HP. Dell got a lot of issues now too. I heard one of their customer service is located in India, which caused a lot of problem. I had a Dell Inspiron 600m 6 months ago, and it kept give me some little problems. Just sold that thing last week. Just sharing my experience.

    Why on earth would you ever buy anything from HP that doesn't use an ink cartridge? For the money they make the best printers...from desktops to plotters but their other electronics: all computers, digital cameras, etc. suck ass and their customer service is even worse. i have yet to find an HP computer that can keep up with me multitasking without locking up.

    Paul, The only thing though is they tested that when it was there 5 times, They said it was fine, cause they thought that is what it was doing to.

    You need to do a cold format through dos, and possible by a new version of windows. Or you may have a hardware error. I have a computer repair company and I would be glad to have some one look at it for you.
