If it's not all of the computers, I've seen problems associated to power
supply malfunctions and voltage regulator malfunctions on the motherboard
that can cause blue screens.

Usually, they are intermittent if it's a blue screen. One of a memory block
voltage regulator and it killed the computer every 20 minutes, 45 minutes up
to as long as 2 or 3 days. I had an ASUS Motherboard that was doing that,
and they come with software to monitor the voltages and temperatures of the
CPU and motherboard. I noticed that whenever it crashed it was preceded by
a voltage drop in the memory's voltage.

The second time, all of the lights came on and the computer would boot up
at all. The power supply had a bad capacitor and couldn't produce the
required current. So, the whole computer seemed to turn on, you'd get the
hard drive lights and all of the lights on. Once, I replaced the main power
supply, the whole motherboard was fine.

The first took longer than the warranty to figure out, and the second was
easy. If it's the only computer having a problem it's probably static or
dust that got to the voltage regulator in manufacture and you're looking at
an intermittent problem. All of the rest work, and changing the main power
supply might fix it. But, if it doesn't, then it's probably a voltage
regulator on the motherboard. Just send it back and ask for a replacement.

Sorry if I failed to mention, but this is a completely different
computer. It is another brand new one. The only thing that is not
completely new and different is the hard drive. I'm giong to do a bit
bopy of the (500 gig) drive onto another one and then test the heck
out of it.

I have tested the drive repeatedly wiht the HP online diagnostics and
have tested both (new) computers with the HP offline diagnostics and
both computers come up with flying colors.

They just got a new crash with the following:

Problem Event Name: BlueScreen

OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48

Locale ID: 1033



Additional information about the problem:

BCCode: 3b

BCP1: 00000000C0000005

BCP2: FFFFF8800483AC62

BCP3: FFFFF88005E24570

BCP4: 0000000000000000

OS Version: 6_1_7600

Service Pack: 0_0

Product: 256_1



Files that help describe the problem:
