While doing some research on HP and Linux I cam across a post that said the 
person was having problems and they updated their BIOS and the problem was 
corrected.

I would be careful of the HP laptops if you're going to put linux on them.  You 
might remember from a few months ago the trouble I had with my HP desktop 
running linux.  It liked to lock up at random, sometimes within 20 minutes of 
booting up, sometimes it might last a day or two.  Recently my sister asked me 
to put linux on her HP laptop.  I did and it had the same locking up at random 
issue.
