Steve, A shot in the dark...I've heard of a similar problem and it turned out to be a bad memory stick. If you have a couple of memory sticks in your new machine, you might want to pull one of them out and run the computer for a while and see if the problem persists...if so, put the one you took out back in and pull the other one out and see if that does it? If it turns out to be a bad mem stick, you should be able to get a free replacement for it.

You may want to edit your registry. Microsoft has all kinds of warnings against this, but it really is not that difficult and sometimes is the only way to uninstall hardware or software. JUST BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY FIRST. You just run a program called "regedit". Regedit gives you a way to make a backup copy. Then just search for HP references. If you are 2 million % sure you have sixteen backups, then you can go ahead and just delete all HP references. Anyway, that's what I do. Peter
