Pressing the f11 key during startup on a computer with an HP factory image will start the system recovery process even if the prompt is not displayed.
this should allow you to complete a full restore to the day you bought the machine, it will however delete all files on the C;/ drive, so backup first.
if F11 fails
reboot the computer and start tapping the F10 function key as soon as the HP/Compaq logo appears on the screen. That should also give you a screen with recovery options.
First Test the Hard Drive and the Memory. Without testing you could be wasting a lot of time and coming up with the same errors through different media if the problem is hardware related. The problem could VERY possibly be RAM or HD related. Test first!!!
