  • So no more FFXI for 3 weeks.

    MY Laptop just went to shits. With only 12 days left of warranty. I have a Hp Dv 6308Nr with a .

    these are my specs.

    Dual core Turion Amd 64 bit
    1.60 gz processors
    Nivida 6150 geforce card 64 megs Video ram, 524 megs shared.
    2.5 gigs of ram
    588 megs of video ram

    Well i got home today from Wake boarding. I logged on to my email and cnn to check up on politics and Daily news. My computer was working fine at the time so i leave to go to out to the movies. Well 2 hours later i come home and my Laptop is all out of whack. Nothing is showing up on the screen, and to make matters worse the pc keeps restarting every min. The fan would go on for about 5 secs and shut off.

    So long story short i called Hp and they need to repair it. It will take 14-21 days to repair the pc and now i am without a home pc and its driving me nuts.

    I might just sell the thing when i get it back and buy a better pc Can you guys recommend a Laptop in the 700-800 range

      Was it set to update to SP3? I've heard that causing similar problems with the resetting, although honestly I don't care that much.

      Anyway, Dell 1420 is what I'd look into in your situation. Google coupons, you can get a pretty good deal on them if you look a little.

        yes it was. I tried reformatting my laptop through xp disc and it wont go into safe mode. It just restarts every 30 secs. I called hp they told me that the motherboard mostly fried or the connections went bad.

          Fixing the XP SP3 reboot blues | Computerworld Blogs check this. It's probably SP3.

          If there was a hardware problem, it would be odd for it to consistently reboot like that (an overheating problem, maybe, but not in such a short timespan)
