Hewlett Packard 3265 question

They may not be old, but they "act" old. ;) Welcome to that special part of hell known as HP Pavillion ownership. (I have a "new" 6360 that in 3 months of working on it hasn't booted to windows for more than 30 minutes without a gpf.) CompUSA told me not to bother bringing it back, they had done all they could, but if I did get it fixed to tell them as they were still curious. Try a different mouse, maybe you have a mouse that likes to talk(noisey). See if it does the same thing with the mouse unplugged. It isn't very helpfull unless you really dig into the message base for a couple hours, but then there are a few nice tidbits of information. Its the HP pavillion users forum for your specific model on the HP web site. The HP hardware newsgroup also answers some questions some times. I don't know the names off hand, but I have heard of programs that monitor the computer and report all the "tasks" that are running, which should ID whatever is making your system busy.
