Eratic Crashes
I have an HP G62-340US running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I purchased the first of these computers in early Dec 2010 and it began crashing on day 2. I returned it after Day 11 and got another one that didn't crash until day 11. I found the following for each of the crashes. The only difference between the messages is the last 5 digits on line BCP4
Shut down unexpectedly

I've done memory and hard drive tests which come back ok. HP had me do a Run-in test which did 67 iterations over 20 hours. I finally terminated the test because it wasn't going to stop it appeared. When I did it said everything was ok.
I'm clueless and would really like to get the machine stable, but failing that to get my money back which will be hard if HP says there is no hardware problem. Help! Thanks. Bill Steiner
