Hello oddweb, I, just 30 minutes ago, got yet another phone call from HP. This makes close to ten now, and all with the same results.   I have 85 emails from HP and others, concerning this issue, and HP responds with nothing.   Please don't take this as an attack on you personally, as it certaintly is not.   Just a little of my experience, no more, no less.   I have an interest in four small companies that have close to two hundred...

The rest seem fine and we have never had a problem. I don't think I need to say that sending all of the machines back would be a great loss in sales for HP near the tune of $70,000.00. The persons whom I spoke to at first didn't seem to care much...

A question for Sandar2020 and/or Ken-HP, Can you explain why the 5.24 BIOS isn’t available for download yet? If the older boards aren’t defective, shouldn't they be able to run the new BIOS?

on safe mode, do the msconfig, choose selective start up and uncheck load start up items, click on the services tab and check "hide all microsoft services" then click on disable all, click on ok and restart the pc  

I think something needs to be clerified, Between the distinction between OEM and Retail... OEM is not preprietary that is where you may be confused hpsad. I apologize for getting upset before. Your tone and statement were inflamatory. I think this is where you are having a problem. So called OEM and Retail computer products are availible both availible via retail outlets where a prepriatery item is not. ATX form factor motherboards are...

Hi, I took at look to see if there was new firmware available. Unfortunately, I have not seen any (BIOS) firmware updates available from NVIDIA for the 220GT. That is what it will take as there appears to be a hardware issue with the card. Perhaps you gents just happened to get faulty video cards. It happens.   regards, erico   

Correction, it's only fixed on the 1.04E01 motherboards and not the earlier revisions. Revision 1.04A05 motherboards will still freeze with the 5.22 BIOS, I know, I have one!  My case manager is currently trying to get my computer exchanged for the e9280 or e9290 with the revised motherboard.   +1 There are starting to be more and more successful comments in the 9280 thread for those with mobo 1.04E01 and bios 5.24. Hope this holds....
