[Atrocities]

Thanks guys. The suggestion on using the good parts to build a new PC is an excellent one. I am in need of a new PC as my power house PC, the one I am on now, is in need of some TLC.

It was the Last PC I built and I built it to State of the Art specs in July 2001.

Maxtor HD are not well received by many. I use Western Digital, and they too seem to have some issues, but thus far WD has always been very helpful.

Again thanks for the great suggestions guys. If HP contacts me I will inquire about a refund for my mother, if not, I will ask them for a Brand New PC, if a no go there, I will demand a new warrenty with a replacement PC. At a minimum, I have filed a complaint with the AG Office and that should light a fire under someones *** at HP.

Thanks guys.
