Miscellaneous

Symptom
Computer overheats.
Error message:
Insufficient memory.
System starts, but blue
screens appear randomly
in Windows and system
reboots.
56 HP Firebird Desktop Essentials (Features may vary by model)
Possible solution
If your computer is liquid-cooled and you replaced the power
supply, check that you have reconnected all the cables.
A buildup of dust also causes overheating. See "Keeping the HP
Firebird Free of Dust and Dirt."
Close all open programs, and then try the
desired task again, or restart your computer
(click the Windows Vista start button,
click the Arrow button next to the Lock button, and then click
Restart). If the message displays again, consider purchasing and
installing additional memory.
This can be caused by a bad memory module. Run a memory test
using System Recovery. Try to get an error code from the blue
screen by disabling automatic restart:
Reboot your PC.
Press F8 after the memory count, but before Windows loads.
Select Safe Mode, and then press Enter.
On the desktop, right
Properties.
In Vista, click Advanced System Settings. In XP, click the
Advanced tab.
Then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
Uncheck Automatically restart and click OK, then click
OK again, and then restart normally.
Back in Windows again, wait until you get another blue screen and
record the error code along with any files mentioned. Customer
Care will ask for this information.
