Hello guys,

i am trying to restore my pc after a major crash. I have an hp pavilion media center desktop i originally got from circuit city. Model m7664x. My problem is i ended up formatting my hard disk that came with the computer due to frustration. Later called hp and ordered my recovery disks, now i have tried recovering the computer upteen times without complete success. There are things that stay running like the blue hp do not turn off your pc during this operation. Then it appeared to of finished, so i thought it closed everything and then left a blank screen so i hit cntrl alt dlt and no programs were running so i said restart the pc and i had an end program message show up, c:\hp\bin\commands.exe pop up so i waited for like 30 min to see if it was enough time then canceled it and rebooted. Then i had an error bessage pop up on reboot. Error 0xc000001d dwwin.exe application error. Stating it fails to initialize. So i removed the supplemental cd and rebooted again. Now just sitting in the blue screen mode.

Any help will be greately appreciated. If you have any suggestions besides a hammer please let me know.

Thank you....brad

Have you replaced any hardware since purchase of PC?

Try running Memtest to test your RAM.

Did you have a different System on the HDD ??
Sometimes .. The HP recovery CDs will not work if the HDD has a different operating system on it.
Erase the HDD first.

I kept the system the same, I even removed the exta gig of ram I installed just incase that may have been the problem. I did the factory seal, audit and finally reseal and rebooted not keeping any previous data entered product id and now am still waiting.

?????????
I think I'd try restoring a new HDD .. this should test the HDD
If that didn't work ... I'd try installing a different system .. this should test the HP CDs
