    Finally found the solution.

    Although I went to the hp website for the latest graphics driver for my laptop, uninstalling and re-installing the latest graphics driver on the hp website did not work.

    I finally went to the Intel website and downloaded the latest graphics driver they had listed which can be used with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and that did the trick.

    So for all who stated it was the graphics driver, you were correct; but the hp website did not have the latest Intel graphics driver listed for my computer.

    Mate back up all of your data in case this machine gives you problems again and then you can go a to a clean install using this and it will get rid of all the HP crapware too.
    this is below and the second ref have a look it really is quite good at keeping the machine running at optimum. Just remember if you do fit a SSD no defrag and the rest you can pick what you like you don't have yo do all the tips:)

    Yeah, explaining why the post was moved by Brink and enlightening others who suggest creating new threads must have seemed a bit harsh.

    Ah well mate no hearts broken and knowing Brink he would have done it in all sincerity and good faith cos he is just a very pleasant fellow - well he has always been that way with me and I am a bit of a pain at times. .

    Thanks. I really don't know why hp did not have the latest Intel graphics driver on their website, but I took a chance and downloaded the one on Intel's website and that worked. What a relief!

    Oh, no worries. It did not seem harsh at all. I appreciate that there are people out there who really care to help the rest of us who know nothing about computers.

    @ Fireflymd,

    The chip makers will always have the newest driver, if available.

    So, always check there first.

    It takes awhile for the System Builders to update their site with new drivers.

    New Graphics Drivers, can change 4 times per year.
