Hi There, I really need help as I am a dumb bunny when it comes to windows problems. I already contacted the HP techs, after 10 hours of chatting with them for 4 days, nothing was resolved.... my vista computer, almost 14 months old, has a problem starting up/stalling/crashing after a few minutes of going on, but, when it does run, it can run all day without a hitch. I did a hardware diagnostic..nothing there, tried reset the bios (computer work for a day) then went back to shutting down again, if I keep on resetting the bios everytime I try to start the computer, wouldn't it do more harm than good? Blue screen errors are random IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL; Memory_Management; Page_Fault_in_nonpaged area or nothing at all just black screen.
Just to try it out, when I left it on from Friday afternoon and got back home on Sunday (today), it is working fine. Only when I turn it off in the evenings it won't start the next day. Any ideas? Thanks in Advance!!

Are you sure? I don't think he has stated how cold the ambient temperature is? Not to mention wouldn't a computer actually be running better while it …
