Hello again,
HP Pavillion ZD 8129ea is my other laptop. The ZD 7k/8k series were just a another faulty design HP disaster. These laptops overheat very easily due to design flaws, and my own laptop only manages to work with an Akasa (rather huge) 25 CM fan attached below it working at max rpm.
If I remove the Cooling Board and/or stop the fan, I get a f****fest of BSOD's (blue variety), general protection faults, and black screens fiilled with pages of incomprehensible characters such as:
BEGIN QUOTE
jsdsflfd*&$&*^)&$JKKLJFLKJHFJ*($(* %$P*)$*)OUKJNFJ:*)*$)$*P*$)*$*$FJJFJFJFJFJF*)$)$&*$&*$$&)FLJKF_())(%_(&%%)%()%)(%{(&_+%+U VIFIJ{"IPKJJ{KF"{"JPKFJ"K{PFJKL
END QUOTE
In addition, characters displayed in DOS (such as the text in the Windows-has-failed-loading-do-you-want-to-start-in-safe-mode screen) also appear garbled.
Yet another testimony to Hewlett Packard's epic success in designing laptops. This particular laptop, a high end model, had initially cost me over $2k.
(It follows that I never bought another HP product following this epic fail)
By contrast, my Pentium 4 Toshiba laptop from 2003 still works, and my P20 Toshiba laptop only failed after, um, 7 years of hard daily usage.
Attached please find the diagnostics generated from the BSOD_XP_v1.3_jcgriff2_PROD.exe.
I am running XP SP 3 on the HP laptop as well.
Thanks in advance for your help, guys.
