I purchased a Hewlett Parkard model m8100n, running Vista, and an
AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual-Core Processor 5600+, several years ago. I have not had this computer opertating correctly for more than three weeks, at a time, without having it crash! There are problems during startup and continual blue screens, while in windows. The hard drive has been reformatted twice, starting with a clean slate, each time. I have utilized Microsoft and Hp support along with third party software(Registry Mechanic, Error Fix, etc). This pile of junk has sat dormant for the last year. I only recently decided to give it one more go around. It is still the pile it has always been. I will never purchase another Hp, never!
