The HP is 11 years old and has a variety of problems inc. blue screen of death on occasion , what ever causes hyper transport sync flood error , Nvidia Kernel mode driver stops responding , freezes , etc...Oh - and the DVD player was damaged when the computer fell to the floor when we had our giant double earthquakes here in Kumamoto 4 years ago . You may remember hearing about them . Two 7+ hit us within 28 hours ! I can live with the DVD player not working as I have one upstairs but anyway , it’s ancient and needs replacing . When were you in Japan ? I will have been here 35 years this coming Monday !
