From: Gerry Cornell on 29 Dec 2005 06:44 Shenan / Nancy Wouldn't that invalidate the HP warranty? Simplest might be to insist HP fix the machine or provide a replacement. Preferably the latter. -- Hope this helps.

From: Nancy on 30 Dec 2005 16:29 It's been three days since my computer froze. I *THINK* I found the problem and solved it. I'll know for sure if it doesn't freeze in the next week or so.

I kept the fans and inside as clean as I could - although the post reccomending a new power supply and further internet research, I decided to use a can of compressed air and spray in the power supply intake (not much else I could do the way it is installed without violating the warranty) and did smell some dust. So far, I've been connected for 3 days and 40 minutes ---- previously it was crashing every day or two. It was either that or the windows updates I installed right before I signed back on 3+ days ago. Either way, it's been the longest without crashing than it has been for a long time. So it was either the compressed air in the power supply intake or it was the windows updates (or maybe HP updates?) - or it's just going longer between freezes (time will tell on that one) "Gerry Cornell" wrote: > Nancy > > What do you think the cause is? > > > -- > > Regards. > > Gerry > ~~~~ > FCA > Stourport, England > > Enquire, plan and execute > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > "Nancy" <Nancy(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:3140C20B-E50C-492B-B859-3B7FFCBECE30(a)microsoft.com... > > It's been three days since my computer froze.
