80gb western digital sata harddisk

ok, let me relate my story.

i bought the v3005au in SG. the spec is AMD Turion64X2 with GeForce6150. had exactly all the problems as above. laptop freezes when playing games, watching movies or doing heavy tasks. cannot be turned on after that, but the LED lights are still on. sent for repair, and they changed a new mobo. but the symptoms came back again after a month. i have restarted for 3 hours and finally got it booted up prior to posting this msg. if i have no reply after this, means my laptop is dead for good again.

my room mate bought the exact same model on the same day. he too had a dead mobo and just got it back from repair. on the first day itself, the symptoms came back.

the wireless issue is also related to this mobo issue. once the above symptoms appear, the WIFI will not work properly too. sometimes can use, sometimes down.

this is an obvious design flaw by HP/Compaq where the processor is let to heat up till it burns up the mobo. can we bring up this case to the consumer tribunal for a new model replacement? i ain't gonna send back for repairs as i've waited 2 months during my first time. after searching the internet, there was a guy who had 3 dead mobos and sent for repairs 3 times.

edit: can the TS or Mods pls update this issue to the first page so as to let others with the same issues to find it easily. tq

compaq presario amd model is not that bad....for driver u need to install according to order then your notebook will work fine....for blue screen problem,most is cause by improper way to install ram or uncompatible ram....is not amd fault

phew~~ i had a noob salesman installed the ram for me.. but so far no problem.

Bububang..

err, i have not converted anything in my whole life. How to convert a movie?  You mean convert from porno to non porno.. (hehe)

my friend bought a V3501 and wished to install windows XP but after the windows XP setup (Press Enter to setup XP), then saying that no hard disk was found and asked for physical connection.

Called to HP helpdesk and they claimed that only Vista OS is allowed and XP is not allowed.

How it can be like that or I missed something?

I have made partition on the HDD and formatted... only when insert the XP CD and going to setup, then saying no hdd......

hi......... i'm going to buy a compaq laptop. i hvnt decide whether i should pick AMD or intel as the processor. can anyone tell me the effects of both processor, since u all experience it now. i heard that AMD is quite stable now, n surely the price also quite low compare to intel chip. if u guys AMD is ok, most probably i will go for it. if not i wil jus hv to pay extra money to get the intel chip.
