If so I only have a month left on the warrenty so I may need to call HP fast. Any suggestions on these things?? -------------------- Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

When the box comes up have a browse through the event viewer and see if theres anything there thats happening regularly. Also run sfc /scannow to see if that picks anything up. -------------------- Our Blog

After that run the issues button and you can backup what it finds or not. I never have and click on the fix button and let it fix the problem and then click on the close button. It does a good job.

It was installed but wouldnt open to save my neck so I took it out and reinstalled the whole thing -------------------- Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
