I have an HP DV5000 laptop. Whenever I try to use the restore disk to repair or reformat it crashes (i am using XP). It crashes at different random times. I thought it was over heating so I reseated the amd chip with silver heat sink compound. I have tried replacing the hard drive, the CD ROM, the ram memory and even the motherbiard. I disconnected the wireless adapter and the bluetooth and still no dice. I still think it is a hardware issue and maybe the replacement parts I used are faulty too.
I bought a motherboard online and I was able to successfully install windows XP but the board didn't have any firewire, bluetooth or sd card reader so I exchange it for the one that is for my computer.
I am not sure if it is the motherboard or some other hardware issue. Please help me figure this out!
