Hi.

This is a story which im getting sick of and im goin to get my baseball and hit my computer until it cracks. Ill tell you every error i can think of i have gotten in the past 2 years with this crap computer.

1) I cant update to SP2
2) My sound card disables it self
3) When playing games my screen has this *BLINK* goes black *BLINK* which is really loud.
4) Windows crashes every 15 minutes.
5) I have reintalled windows.. 12-15 times.
6) LAGS!
7) Explorer.Exe crashes(no start bar)
8) generic host crashes. Goes from Windows xp blue to the old windows.
9) Pop up messages pops up every 10 minutes
10) After reinstalling windows my internet says: You have virus we no let u go online.
11) Cant delete norton anti virus 2004... -.- cant update eighter.
12) microsoft word doesent work. Crashes.
13) For being HP and windows...
14) Random programs executes and pops up with a message box ERROR.

Now this is everything that has happened in the last 2 years and most of this already today.. This SICKENS me! im going to smash it now...
 
The sounds like an error with Windows. Have you been using the same WindowsX(Xp, 2000, ME etc) disk each time?

Also, can your computer handle the specifications for the said WindowsX disk.
 
HP has always been pretty good, and the stuff you said is mostly software errors.
 
here i have 3 new errors i'we gotten like 5 times today:

1) If a cd in the computer while starting up.. Simply wont start.
2) When started and having my mp3 inside it gets this *bling* *bling* sound reapeativly.
3) Isass.exe crashes every 2-3 minutes .. RARE happened 3-4 times

My mom asked: can u see if u see ur brother online, i answer: i cant even run msn on this piece of shit.
she said: oh..

My specs:
AMD Athlon 2600+ (1,91 GHz)
256 Mb Ram
80 Gb HD
Dvd (Doesent work)
Writiting cd (doesent work)
ATI Radeon 9200 (makes screen blink i suppose)

When i format, im using HP built in formator

OMG! Now i got: Generic Host Process for Win32 Services ERROR !!!!!!!!
IM SICK OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KILL MEEEEEE!

Have you tried formatting your Hard drive?
If not, wipe EVERYTHING and install windows again from a NEW cd.

If you tried that and it still isn't fixed, you most likely have a problem with your motherboard. I had that once, and had it replaced within my warranty.
It all worked perfectly again ever since.
I suggest you do the same if the problems persist. Or call the HP helpdesk.

Guess what.. i dont have a windows CD...
 
You don't have a windows CD? Why not?
If you downloaded windows you should buy it. I mean I'm all for illegal software (WAREZ WOOT), but the absolute essentials like windows you should have legally.

If it came as a pre-set installation when you bought your computer, it SHOULD have come with a CD. Did you lose that?

Either way to keep the story short, if you don't have a windows cd, buy/borrow one.

DUDE!!! MY HP IS EXACTLY THE SAME!!!:o :o :o :o
 
I really doubt it would be a HP problem. Completely nuke the HDD and re-install (Buy a damn windows disk dammit)
 
Actually cool I've heard from some people I know IRL they were having trouble with their HP computers. They told me not to buy one.
They were never specific, and didn't know much about computers so I didn't make much of it beeing a HP problem.

But having read this, plus the testimonials from friends I'll risk it and say: Don't buy a HP computer. If not just to be safe.

Besides, I think HP has been getting owned on the tech market. I remember there beeing loads of commercials for the brand, and tons of people buying them. Now it's all just died down, Dell is pretty much taking over in the mid-class branch. Simply because their cheap and do deliver some quality.

However, that only counts for some parts of europe. I can't speak for places like America. For all I know it's still a major brand there.
 
My dell broke like a week ago. I had some dude come look at it. He said all brand names suck, I had to buy parts, which cost me around 300-400 USD, then paid him 100USD for making it. He said then if anything breaks, you can just go get a part, not a new computer, the way dell makes computers its pretty much impossible to fix just one part of, they make you buy a new computer. So id you are thinking of getting a new computer, I would stay away from brand names and finid someone really trusted and knowlegeble in computers and get them to build you one.
 
I think your making a mistake there Lotto.
When your brand name computer breaks down, you have to contact the brand company. Like with dell, you should contact them.

Because dell uses parts that are specifically designed by them, only THEY have the replacements. If you let a third party mechanic come in, then obviously it would be cheaper to buy a new computer.
Usually your warranty covers these things, if you weren't at fault for breaking it.

When my Dell broke down after about a year (I was a few days from warranty expiration) I simply contacted them and they did a quick diagnostic. When they found out I needed a new motherboard and power supply they simply sent a mechanic over and I had it fixed for free. End of story.

The moment you decide to call in a third party mechanic for these things your already making a mistake. On top of that, if you build your own computer you don't get a warranty in case he/she makes a mistake or anything like that.

If you do decide to get a non-brand name computer (I recommend that) then I suggest you go to a larger computer store, who build custom computers, give a warranty on them, and use parts that allow upgrades.
Never just ask someone you know or trust, not even someone highly experienced with computers.
 
Well it looks like you have a extremely bad virus.

"You have virus we no let u go online" isent a windows error

My advice preform a clean installation of Windows. Or better yet get a new hard drive tigerdirect.com

dont blame it on HP its not thier problem
 
burn that HP crap.
Go Build your Own Custom Built Dual-Core for half the cost.
 
Get a new computer. Sony's are great. Or build one.

Doesn't sound like it's HP's fault. Sounds more like you've been hitting up too many naughty sites, etc, and your computer got trashed in the process.
