Hello bamashooter,

Glad to hear that the system is working well. Are you still experiencing freeze ups from time to time still?

HDO is your hard disk drive which is 39C. According to the dv7 User Guide the operating temperature range is 0C to 60C , so you are well within your range there.

Core 0 & Core 1 are the CPU core temperatures 47C and 48C respectively. The temperature when the CPU will shut down is 105C, so you look good their too.

Can't find any temperature information on the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6370 GPU, but 53C sound fine. Maybe another member can comment on the GPU temperature. So, clean out the air vents and allow air to flow around the laptop during operation.

Chkdsk found a very large number of errors. Run chkdsk again, and check both of the check boxes under Check disk options, then the start button. You have a 640GB hard drive, it will take some time to complete. I believe this is the root of your problem.

Hope this is helping.

Thanks, I'll run it again. I do clean my air intake and exhaust on a regular basis and My notebook has stubby legs providing elevation for good air flow.

Here's today's check disk event log. Is it clean or did it not function correctly. Seemed to take about the same amount of time as the session yesterday which had all the errors.

Don't know yet. I'm on the other pc. I turned the hp off. Think I'll check disk this one now and start the other. I'll let you know my findings. Regardless, I greatly appreciate all your time and help. It's been a very nice experience and I have learned some things too.

Thanks again,
shooter

Started the computer, opened firefox, entered my forum for about 5 minutes. Closed firefox. Tried to open firefox about 10 minutes later and get nothing. Ran mu cursor over the icons in the right corner of my task bar. Each one would give the name of the icon as I ran the cursor over it with the exception of the internet connection icon. 3-4 minutes later it was all good again. What I did during the small break from the pc was to go in another room and remove the connection from my direct tv to the router. I never use that capability so I thought it would be good to take that out of the equation. The same lights stayed illuminated on the router therefore I don't believe I caused the router to hiccup. I'm puzzled. I'm giving strong consideration to downloading Google Chrome and uninstalling Firefox. To include not even importing the books marks to Chrome from Firefox. I'll just go to those web sites and begin saving new "clean" bookmarks to Chrome. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Is it just Firefox freezing or is everything freezing? Can you open say IE or a word processor program when Firefox acts up?. If it is just Firefox freezing, I would say uninstall Firefox and then reinstall.

Hope this helps.

I just downloaded Chrome and so far so good. I cannot uninstall Mozilla Firefox using the control panel. I open the firefox uninstall helper folder and then to launch the helper.exe and it will not open. I have no firefox running according to task manager.

Hi,

Try using Revo Uninstaller to remove FireFox. Download here Revo Uninstaller 30 day free Trail

So the answer to my pervious question would be it is only FireFox that is freezing???

Hope this helps

I'm sorry. I didn't try opening any others. I just found it strange that when firefox minimized, i couldn't launch again and when I would pass my cursor over the icons in my taskbar right hand corner, the only one which wouldn't indicate the icon name was my network access icon. I'll try revo now.

I downloaded and launched Revo. Looks like a sweet program. I did the non forced uninstall. After it created backups, etc, I waited for 10-15 minutes and never saw a finished, etc. I went ahead and clicked the scan button. In the Leftover Registry Items window, it discovered 50 keys and 75 values. It shows my registry. many of the items are firefox. Others are listed in a red color and appear to be a "parent" of a lesser "firefox" file. Should I go ahead and select all and delete?

Hope I didn't mess up my registry; don't think so. I selected each file in the registry associated with firefox and deleted them. Firefox is now gone. The Red items in the registry appeared to be operating system related. Had I chosen select all and hit delete, it would have been a sad day indeed. Time will tell if I performed this task correctly.
