[H] code purple error ?
Anyone run into this after a restore ? I'm pretty sure it is because of a HW change, just do not see where anything has been changed. Any pointers appreciated fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Difficult? I wish it had been impossible!
Re: [H] code purple error ?
I would suggest resetting the cmos/bios to defaults as a start. I've only seen the error on systems from HP that didn't have the tattoo applied to the bios. My business often does sub-contract work for extended warranty companies and when replacing motherboards in HP/Compaq systems we have to go through a process of running a special application that tags the mainboard's bios with information like the serial number, model number, etc. If a board were replaced and system recovery was run before going through the tattoo procedure you might encounter the code purple error. I think it stems from the OEM copy of Windows XP that are catered made for HP when it comes to the licensing/activation stuff. What sort of restore did you do?
