    Is anyone else having blue-screen crashes when their newer-model 8510p has been operating for a long time, say 8-12 hours? The latest BIOS update from HP was supposed to address this, but I've updated the BIOS and it still happens.

    Is this something others are experiencing and HP is working on, or is there perhaps a fault in my own system?

    It never crashes during stress or games, only after many hours of use, even if I'm doing nothing and CPU us idling. Temps are always below 40degC so its not overheating or anything. Very weird. Running XP SP2.

    Have you tested your RAM or other hardware?

    Disable the TPM chip or turbo memory if you have them.

    Have you updated all of your drivers? I've never heard of BSOD problems with the 8510p. My own 8510p is usually on non-stop except when I'm asleep and I have had no problems. I'm running XP SP3; however, I never had a problem with SP2 either.

    Thanks guys, yes done both.

    I spotted a notice from HP support mentioning BSOD when operating for long periods of time on the 8510, so wondered if anyone else experiences it and what fixed it. If I leave it running overnight it will BSOD sometime the next day without fail. Or rather with fail. :)

    The notice said the F13 BIOS, coupled with updating the video drivers would address the problem - unfortunately not for me. If nothing helps I'll try reinstalling XP but hopefully there's a better solution.

    i'm running vista business 64bit sp1 and sometime i leave my notebook on for 24 hours. didn't encounter any BSOD. ONLY when the time i did an initial installation and installed intel raid matrix manager. I run some software from hp and it BSOD on me. Fed up with this i made another clean install but this time i didn't install this intel raid matrix manager. so far my notebook is working very well
