Yes... especially when there is a bunch of extra crap on the HDD, i.e, Yahoo "instant messenger" and all this HP bloatware. I tried adding more ram (pc133 256mb stick) but it does not show any OEM logo's or anything. Methinks a bad stick of ram is the culprit. Anyway, I'll probably A:Install a lightweight linux distro or B: throw it in le garbage. I have similar machines and thus have 0 reasons to keep it other than maybe a parts computer.
