I thought HP computers were pretty good as several of my friends had no problems with them, but Kyle's rant and Aaron's current struggles are making me think twice about ever getting one in the future. :unsure:  Good luck with your computer issues, Aaron.
Thanks, Patrick  :wave:

Patrick, that used to be my thinking as well. HP computers usually suit my needs when it comes to graphics and features, and they are always a great deal with what comes with them. But these continual issues are changing my mind.

I hope to be taking my desktop into Staples today.

Well, I just got back from Staples where I dropped off my desktop computer. It was once again rebooted, but this time it does not get past the blue HP screen. I hope to be getting updates soon, but it may be a few daze before I get it back.

Lucky you. Everytime I get mine replaced they ship it off to the manufacturer. Takes at least 2 weeks for me. Glad yours will only take a few days

I have an HP Pavilion laptop that I got in July 2007 and it started having issues with the wireless adapter in January 2008. From what I understand it was due to heat from the Athlon 64 X2 processor, and finally one day in April 2008, it overheated so much, that the video card fried. Sent it back to HP (was still under warranty) and they had to replace the motherboard and video card. Thankfully they did it for no cost, including shipping,but they had to wipe the hard drive (for some reason). Thankfully, I backed it up before sending it in.

Whoa, I'd do anything to see that. :blink:

Anyways, this shocks me. Look's who's coming to concert in Clearwater, FL which is right across the bay. :o (Courtesy of David Benoit's MySpace)

I remember that happening with me as well Martin. I had the tx1000z, and it was problem-after-problem, month-after-month. Finally they gave me a new laptop, the dv4t, and since December, no problems whatsoever with it, and no shipping it back to HP! This leads me to think some products are just duds, but HP has a fair share of them so....  :happy:

Well, another update on my desktop:
I called and it appears as though it is a motherboard failure, as the tech person I have working on it believes that is the case. He said he finally saw that error screen, but still can't get the computer to boot up. I am waiting for a call back in the next hour here.
