I Have The Same Model. I ****ing Hate It.
I'VE GOT 12 YEARS OF PC EXPERIANCE. i BOUGHT THIS ,"HP A1210N" TEN MONTHS AGO. WARRANTY IS ALLMOST UP. THEIR HAS NEVER BEEN A PC I COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
WHEN I FIRST TOOK THIS OUT OF THE BOX IT STARTED GIVING ME PROBLEMS. LOCKING UP. THE FIRST SEVEN MONTHS IT WAS MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. ALL I'VE DONE TO UPGRADE IS ADDED A ADDITIONAL 512 OF DUAL CHANNEL RAM MAKING MY UPGRADE TO 1GB OF DUAL CHANNEL RAM. THINK OF DUAL CHANNEL RAM AS A TWO WAY STREET. IT'S A MUCH MORE EFFICENT WAY TO SEND AND RECEIVE DATA TO AND FROM THE PROSSESOR AND MOTHERBOARD/VIDEO CARD ETC.
I WAS HOPING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE FREEZ UPS. NOPE. (I GET TO YOUR ? IN A MIN OR A FEW PARAGRAPHS). AS TIME WENT ON, WELL LET ME PUT US INTO CURRENT TIME (10-19-06) BOUGHT THIS PEICE OF JUNK LAST DECEMBER OF 2005.
NOW IT'S FREEZING UP EVERY HALF HOUR, THEN IT WILL BE FINE FOR A DAY. IT'S BECOME VERY TEMPORMENTAL. I'M READY TO SMASH IT ON THE CONCRETE OUTSIDE. I'VE CALLED TECH SUPPORT AT LEAST 25 TIMES THIS WEEK ALONE, BECAUSE I KNOW MY WARRANY IS ALLMOST UP. OUT OF THESE 25 TECHS, I KNEW MORE THAN THEM. ( I HAVE FOUR PC'S IN MY HOUSE, I KNOW MY STUFF) SO I ARGUED WITH ONE BIG TIME. THIS PARTICULAR TECHNITION TOLD ME TO GO TO RUN ,"MSCONFIG" TALKED TO ME LIKE I WAS A COMPLETE IDIOT AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND NOTHING. ANYWAY HE TOLD ME TO DESELECT ALL OF THE START UP ITEMS. YOU CAN NOT DO THIS TO THEM ALL. IF I DID THAT I WOULD HAVE NO SPEAKER IN THE START TASK BAR BY THE CLOCK NO ANTI VIRUS. I TOLD HIM OFF AND HUNG UP.
LIKE SAID YOU CAN DISABLE SOME THINGS, LIKE QUICKTIME IN YOUR START UP FOR EXAMPLE. IT WILL STILL WORK WHEN YOU EXECUTE A PROGRAM THAT NEEDS IT, IT IS JUST NO RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND USING RESORSES (MEMORY/RAM)
OK GONNA GET TO THE POINT, I CALLED THEM TONIGHT AND BITCH THEM OUT HARD CORE. I KEEP TELLING THEM TO SEND ME A BOX AND TAKE THIS PEICE OF CRAP BACK TO THE FACTORY. THEY KEEP REFUSING TO HONOR THE WARRENTY. MY OTHER PC'S ARE DELLS. I HAVE A XPS DELL LAPTOP WITH EXTENDED DROP AND SPILL WARRANTY. WHEN I FIRST GOT IT, I MY DOG JUMPED OVER THE TABLE AND BROKE LCD SCREEN RIGHT OF IT. I CALLED DELL. HAD A PREPAID BOX AT MY DOOR THE NEXT DAY WITH OVER NITH SHIPPING. GOT A NEW ONE IN SIX DAY. A MONTH LATER I SPILLED A BEER INTO IT. (UT OH I SAID NOT AGAIN) CALLED DELL. SURE ENOUGH, NO ? ASKED AND BOX FROM FED X AT MY DOOR NEXT DAY GOT NEW ONE AGAIN.
WHAT I'M GETING AT IS HP SUCKS DUDE. I HAD A HP LAPTOP TWO YEARS AGO AND IT KEPT OVER HEATING AND SHUTING OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO SEND IT IN THAT TIME. GOT IT BACK ONLY TO HAVE IT DO THE SAME THING. I MEAN THIS THING GOT SO HOT YOU COULD COOK A EGG ON IT. I'M KINDA A RICH KID (DON'T MEAN TO BE SNOBISH) TOOK THAT MOTHER F'R OUT SIDE AND SMASHED IT ON THE CONCRETE AND THREW IT IN THE LAKE BEHIND OUR HOUSE.
OK NOW FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. DON'T DO IT!!! THEIR IS A PARTITION ON YOU A1210N, I TRIED THE SAME THING, ONLY TO INSTALL A DIFFERANCE VERSION OF MEDIA CENTER. COPY I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT MYSELF. I PUT THE DISK IN AND KEPT TAPPING F12 OR F10 DON'T REMEMBER ONE THEM. THAT WILL TAKE TO A DOS SCREEN THAT SAYS PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD. (DON'T DO IT, GONNA TELL YOU WHY) SO I HIT THE STUPID F8 BUTTON THAT I AGREE AND READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (LIKE ANYONE DOES, I HAVE YET TO MEET SOME ONE WHO ACTUALLY SITS THEIR AND READS A THOUSAND PAGES OF WHO CARES JUNK.) PROCEEDED TO DELETE THE PARTION (NOT THE RESTORE PARTION, THE MAIN PARTION THAT YOUR OPERATION SYSTEM IS ON AND STARTED THE INSTALL. I'VE INSTALLED WINDOWS ON 100'S OF PC'S FOR PEOPLE. ANYWAY IT INSTALLED THE SETUP FILES AND THEN IT'S NORMAL FOR THE PC TO RESTART, IT WILL DO IT IN 15 SECONDS OR YOU CAN HIT ANY KEY ON YOUR KEY BOARD TO MAKE RESTART RIGHT AWAY.
NOW MY PROBLEM STARTED. IT KEPT GOING IN CIRCLES RESTARTING AND AFTER THE FOURTH TIME IT POPED UP A WINDOW SAYING,"WINDOWS HAS ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE INSTALATION PROCOSSES MULITPLE TIMES PRESS ANY KEY TO TRY AGAIN. I DID THIS THEN TIMES. I PRETTY MUCH MUCH KNEW I WAS SCREWED AT THAT POINT. SO I DECIDED TO GO INTO SAFE MODE. WOULD NOT LET ME INTO THAT EITHER. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE WALL AND HIT A STUD. HURT LIKE HELL. I WAS PISSED. JUST LOST 95 GIGS OF DATA. I HAVE IT ALL BACKED UP (MANUALLY) NOT THEIR VERSION. THE POINT I'M GETING IS IT TAKES ME 30 HOURS AT LEAST TO REINSTALL THE OS AND ALL MY GAMES AND FILES. AND YOU ALLWAYS LOOSE SOME STUFF.
NO FOR SOME REASON HP WILL ONLY LET YOU PUT THEIR VERSION ON WINDOWS ON YOUR PC. NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS WHEN PC MANUFACTURORS GAVE YOU LET'S SAY THE WINDOWS DISK, THEN THE DRIVERS DISK. DELL STILL DOES. I HAD HP SEND ME THE RECOVERY DISKS WHEN I GOT THE PC. I CALLED A CHEWED THEM OUT. THEY WANTED 20$ FOR THEM, I SAID NO THEY SHOULD HAVE COME WITH IT, LET ME TALK TO YOUR SUPERVISER. I GOT THE DISK FOR FREE. NOW THESE DISK ARE NOT WHAT I MENTIONED ABOUVE. THEIR IS THE DISK. TWO ARE THE WINDOW MEDIA CENTER DISKS AND ONE IS SUPPLEMENTAL DISK, THE DRIVERS FOR THE PC. THE PC WON'T WORK WITH OUT THIS DISK. AND IT WILL ONLY RUN WITH THEIR OTHER TWO DISKS (MEDIA CENTER) THEY PUT CODES ON DISKS NOW SO YOU HAVE TO USE THEM TOGETHER AND CAN NOT MIX IT WITH WHAT YOU WANT TO TO ,"INSTALL WINDOWS XP" WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER IS STILL XP DUDE, IT JUST HAS A FEW ADDED FEATURES TO IT LIKE THE MEDIA CENTER AND SOME OTHER STUPID STUFF LIKE MICROSOFT PLUS AND MICROSOFT PHOTO CENTER. IT'S THE SAME THING. IF YOU WANT YOUR MEDIA CENTER TO LOOK LIKE ORIGINAL XP, (I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS TO YOU IN LIKE A GRAMMER SCHOOL TYPE OF UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE YOU SAID YOUR A NEWBEE DON'T SWEAT IT I WAS ONCE ONE ALSO, WE WERE AT SOME POINT)
CLOSE OUT ALL OF YOUR WINDOWS. YOUR DESKTOP IS ABOUVE YOUR TASK BAR. YOUR TASK BAR IS WHERE THE CLOCK IS AND START BUTTON. NOW WITH ALL WINDOWS CLOSED YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING AT YOUR DESKTOP ICONS, PUT THE CURSOR ON A BLANK PART OF THE DESKTOP (NOT A ICON) AND RIGHT CLICK, NOW A WINDOW POPS UP GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PROPERTIES AND LEFT CLICK YOUR GONNA SEE DISPLAY PROPERTIES, YOUR GONNA SEE FIVE TABS YOU CAN CLICK ON, ON TOP, GO TO APPERANCE AND CLICK THAT TAB ON TOP, THEN YOU WILL SEE ON TOP THE WINDOW DISPLAY PROPERTIES, LOOK FOR YOUR FIRST DROP DOWN BOX IT SAY WINDOWS AND BUTTONS, SIMPLY CLICK ON THAT CAN CHOOSE WINDOWS XP STYLE AND IT WILL LOOK JUST LIKE WINDOWS XP. DON'T FORGET TO CLICK THE APPLY BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AND BOOM YOUR DONE. I SWEAR ON MY GREAT GRANDMOTHERS GRAVE, WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER AND REGULAR WINDOW XP ARE THE EXACT SAME THING. MEDIA CENTER IS JUST CALLED MEDIA CENTER BECAUSE IT HAS THE MEDIA CENTER ADDED TO IT. ASK YOUR PC BUDDY. I PROMISE HE IS GONNA TELL YOU THE SAME.
AS FOR YOUR PAVILION A1210N , I WISH YOU BETTER LUCK.
OH YEAH AFTER FORMATTING AND REINSTALLING THE RECOVERY PARTION AND WINDOWS OS SYSTEM , IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME CRAP. I JUST ORDERED A 3,000 DOLLAR DELL DESKTOP. I SWEAR BY DELL.
DON'T GET ME WRONG. I KNOW JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT WINDOWS OS (MEANS OPERATING SYSTEM) GOT 12 YEARS OF SITTING IN FRONT OF THESE THINGS EVERYDAY. I HAVE DIABETES REALLY BAD. I'M 33 AND I HOPE TO SEE 34. I'M ON DISABILITY, SO I DON'T WORK. PC'S ARE A OBESSESON FOR ME. I'M READING MY A+ BOOK , STARTED IT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I WANT TO GET INTO PROGRAMING.
I HOPE THIS HELPS. I KNOW I JUST WROTE YOU A BOOK.
IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE ?'S E MAIL ME [email protected] I AM ASUMING EVERYONE WILL RESPECT THAT I JUST GAVE THIS GUY MY MAIN E MAIL. I'M NICE PERSON LIKE THAT. I THINK IN THE LAST YEAR I'VE HAD PEOPLE BRING BE ABOUT 16 COMPUTERS. I FIX THEM ALL AND REFUSE TO TAKE ANYMONEY FOR IT.
MY OLD LADY (WIFE/AKA/BALL AND CHAIN) IS A REGISTERED NURSE, SO THATS WHERE I GET ALL MY MONEY FOR MY TOYS.
PEICE TO EVERY ONE ON THIS THREAD SITE.
ANYONE WANT THIS PAVILION? I'M GONNA THROW IT IN THE TRASH. THIS IS THE FIRST PC IN MY LIFE I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS FREEZING UP AND NEITHER CAN HP.

Try lowering the front side bus a little. After a cpu overheated when a 3rd cpu cooler's fan quit I suddenly started seeing Windows freeze up at the desktop. The hard drive couldn't even be seen at one point. Suddenly the thought of the cpu being backclocked or board fault being seen told me to lower the 200mhz setting to 166mhz. Windows then ran normally at the slower speed there until the new hardwares came in.

thanks, but i think im gunna go with what moe said. Thanks for your time and input though, i really appreciate it.
Well if you had to do what I saw here you would need a new board anyways. That's the drawback of not building your own I guess. Here I'm just stuck on building my own to avoid the problems with tech support staff that are a little hearing impaired?! 
Hope you pick out a better one anyways.

Ya man, thanks... I want to build one... but computer parts are mad expensive... But I got a ton of gigs coming up (5 halloween ones... 10 in nov... and like 6 christmas ones) so with that money im gunna get a laptop first, then prolly build a comp... or build a laptop, lol. Thanks tho.
Depending on the type of system you would plan and not just a high end gaming machine you can get some good prices on the essentials and still see a good system. You start with the basics like everyone else when going to build your first case. Once you get some of the basics down then you look into the performance end of things. And yes this time of year gets a little $$$!
