Yes. For a while it was a random thing mostly on startup (2-3
weeks ago). Now for the last 2-3 days it's pretty much every time I try to
shut the machine down. I click start, shut down, then bang BSOD. It doesn't
even get to the page that says saving your settings or windows is now
shutting down.
Disable as many devices as you can, if this cures the issue, re-enable
them until it resurfaces. You will have then found the culprit.
In addition to memory (which it probably isn't in this case), it could
be the hard drive, or as you pointed out, the CD. There's usually a way
to shut down the CD (Secondary master IDE) in BIOS.
You should be able to disable, in bios
Built in LAN (if present)
Built in modem (if present)
Built in Sound (I'm sure your laptop has sound)
Serial and Parallel ports, (COM and LPT/Printer ports) (if present)
You should also remove any PCMIA (PC Cards) installed in your laptop.
If you can shut down the computer afterwards, you will know that it's
one of your devices, which is fixable. If it's the motherboard, you'll
have to get it repaired at Factory.
Getting in to HP bios is pressing either f1 or f2 while it's flashing
the HP logo.
