It seems that this is a common issue with this model. A lot of people have this problem. It hppened to me when my product was on warranty. I returned it to HP to be fixed. Now I am out warranty and the problem appears again. In one year, I returned the pc to them 5 times.
They should recall the model for this issue. Unfortunately they cannot.
I just put a 7200rpm disk into my 600 and rebuilt the OS using standard Windows 7 distribution.
However my Ethernet connection doesn't work at all, even worse it doesn't show up in device manager at all. It is enabled in the BIOS.
I recall Windows update installing some new drivers.
If I try and install the HP drivers for Nvidia Nforce I get an error:
your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled (9996)
Occasionally it does appear in device manager, but I cannot get a LAN connection over a known working cable.
Cheers,
greg
