    It looks like i'm going to either sell or possibly keep my slimline for archaic reasons.

    it seemed to be a loose connection on the internal (original) hard drive as it kept disappearing where C: drive and all the other drives are. I don't use this drive for my OS only storage. It's all fixed now anyways. Thanks guys....theres still life in this old beast yet!

    thanks for quick reply, its on the boot screen where you see the 5 dots spinning around underneath the blue windows logo before it gets to splash screen if that makes sense. i also updated the card with latest drivers from nvidia but it's still the same :(

    Thanks guys, My bios is 5.04 and i'm sure this is the latest from 10 years ago lol, please correct me if i'm wrong! After some head scratching it just got worse from there with the 'press any key to boot from cd or dvd' so none of my drives were showing up on bios. After a quick strip down, i...

    Hi, I've already seen the HP support but i think in general we usually ignore certain facts from HP as we have and went beyond their recommendations to what is acceptable. I'm using a 5050e currently shown as UNKNOWN in bios and device info. However, could i use a faster processor than my...
