- HP P6674Y Pavilion Quad Core Phenom II 2.8Ghz, 8GB DDR3, 1TB SATA3, Windows 7 Home I did install a bigger PS: Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W

this pc is killing me. I may send it back to HP if I can't figure it out. MY first time with win 7 and buying a HP.

today it said win32.sys on the bsod. I can't even use the pc now and I reinstalled win twice and it's getting worse. HP is sending me a return box. I'm on my laptop now and turning the hp on and it will keep crashing time after time.

Do you require any assistance with your crashes? Or are you just sending it back in?

i will keep trying ti fix it but last resort I will send it back If I can't fix it.

it wont even stay on for 5 minutes glad I have a bunch of extra pc's.

wee it's been up and running for about 30 hours and no crashes. I was putting the original power supply back in it it was a besttec 250w I put a new Antec 380W when I first got this pc that way I could put a better video card in it. I must of been the PS the whole time on my APC battery back up the Antec only showed using less Volts than the Bestec PS even though the Antec was a better PS. Looks like I'll not return it since it is working now. Thanks all.
