The problem is that I get a wierd sound then freeze. I have to do a hard reset to get it back up. I have spent more than 40 hours trying to fix this. I've talked to hp, geeksquad, and several local repair shops. Ive read countless forums and so now I post and hope that someone has some insight. I will attach a copy of the msinfo32.exe. Thanks for the help.
