CNET to the Rescue forum: hp dt7-3085dx new 1/2010..Blue Screen..>hp svs..Blue Screen!

The computer is a HP Pavillion the model printed on the computer is dv7-3085dx Entertainment Notebook. I don't know what the dv stands for but HP has different series of notebooks some are dv4, dv5, dv6, dv7, & dv8, I think the more "stuff" on the computer, the higher the number. But I have been letting HP handle this one time so far. After the computer was returned to me about 2 -3 days and I again got a blue screen. I am not very knowledgeable about computers, or the terminology, I must spend hours researching online, ask questions from people I know. I am now thinking the blue screen could be more simple than a damaged hard drive. Maybe a software problem, conflict or something. The Notebook has the Intel Core 7, Window 7 Home Premium 64 bit. So, since the last blue screen, by Printer is offline, and I can't establih communication. Also, received an dialog box stating that my Nvidia drivers stopped. (Nvidia Geforce). I have read that the HP photosmart printer with I think it is Photosmart could cause problems. Also wondering if the 64 bit is causing problems with software? Some companies are not using 64 bit yet. All this is my speculation. You mention the heat, that too is another thing I was wondering about. Could this cause a blue screen. The blues screen said something about memory..., then memory dump, but nothing was erased, or changed on the computer, I simply restarted the computer. I had the computer on my kitchen counter, on top of a cloth placemat, for easy moving around. I changed that, it now rests on a open woodem link placemat. I am considering getting a cooling mat or something?? I haven't had a blue screen for about 3-4 weeks. The computer was bought so I could put digital photos of my three grandchildren on to burn dvd, learn how to use my video clips and put them on dvd also. The last PC we had is VERY slow, with it's 35 GB of memory almost used up.
I was told I needed to uninstall the printer to reinstall. this printer was a floor model and came with no software, my son in law went online with HP to get the printer working on a wireless network. Printer was online and worked fine even when it was returned, but than one day not. I can copy on the printer and use via bluetooth. I think HP wanted me to send the computer to them because what then kept telling me to try was beyond my understanding, and the email showed them how overwhelmed I was. Sorry, I know this is way too much information I am just grasping a straws & trying to educate myself of what to do, how to do this, what to tell HP.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I guess I could connect to the printer via a USB Cable. The laptop and printer are in the same room, just not near each other, so I would have to move things around to make a more permanent setup or connect and disconnect when I wanted to print. Thanks again.
