A week and a half ago I bought an HP Pavillion dv6526ea notebook with Vista Home Premium . There seems to be a hardware problem - I have some experience with such things - but I just don't seem to be able to pin it down . Tried different diagnostics - they don't reveal anything special . One thing which every so often happens - I'll be typing in on the keyboard , and the input will just stop being received , and not displayed on screen . Another indication - I can do some program install - and it the progress bar will just suddenly halt an dmaybe after 10 secs continue - this is not just because the system is doing some installation tasks . These were things which might have happenned on PC's 10 years ago , when bus bandwidth problems may have been around - but today I don't see such a thing happenning . I've turned off all automatic updating , as I thought these might have been causing it . I've uninstalled almost all installed apps .
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks .
