I bought a refurbishe​d HP P2-1013W and it will show some blue lines on the screen and lock up.

I purchased this pc in April but did not take it out of the box until recently.  Set it up for my parents and it keep getting the blue lines and locking up.  There is no particular situation that causes it to freeze.  I did the system restore to factor defaults, worked fine for a couple of days and now it is doing it again. 

Hello ddolson69,
To rule out the monitor as being the issue we need to first test it on another machine. If the problem persists there we know the monitor is the cause. If the monitor works fine then we know we have the issue with the system.
Are you using an integrated video card or are you using a video card that has been added to a PCI slot? 
Open the computer up check the fans and ensure all fans are working properly and that there is adequate air flow within the machine.
If it's dirty inside clean it out with a can of compressed air. Pay particular attention to the heat sink and any fans that may be attached or around the video card.
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

  • I just bought an iPad 3 around 6 days ago, today I saw a vertical black line on the screen and I tried resetting my iPad but I couldn't fix it. I took it to many apple sale store and reseller but none of them agreed to fix my iPad, please help me with it!

    I'm currently living in Saudi Arabia but I bought my iPad 3 from Dubai around 6 days ago, my device is still under warranty but none of the apple stores are fixing it over here in Saudi Arabia... Please help me with my situation!

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
    If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
    If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
    AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
    Your hardware is your iPhone.
    Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
    Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
    So, what does all this mean?
    In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
    And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
    Policy is policy. Get over it.

  • My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact).

    My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact). I have not been able to determine how to import these favorites from the old HD to the new machine. I haven't found any FAQ that addresses this since I can't really start Firefox on the old HD in order to make a HTML backup. Any ideas? edit

    So what do you want us to do? Apple has already told you and there is nothing anyone here can do about your problem as no one here works for Apple.

  • HT1476 I bought an adapter for my itouch 5 so that i won't need a computer to charge my itouch gen5 - however, i noticed that it was acting up in such a way that i was having difficulty swiping the screen and even tapping the icons.

    I bought an adapter for my itouch 5 so that i won't need a computer to charge my itouch gen5 - however, i noticed that it was acting up in such a way that i was having difficulty swiping the screen and even tapping the icons. Is the only option for charging is the USB charger/connector? Or is there a specific device that I should use?

    iPhone 5 and the 5th gen iPod touches are having this problem without a charger, and will probably be fixed in the 6.1 update. See http://www.imore.com/iphone-5-touchscreen-behaving-badly-under-multiple-rapid-sw ipes

    If you bought it from an Apple Store you will need to contact the Apple Store to see if they can help you. This forum is a user to user forum and frankly I've never seen a question like yours come up. If you purchased it with a credit card then it should be pretty simple to get a copy of your statement and see if the "they" you are referring to will accept that as proof of purchase.
    Good luck!

  • Bought gems in clash of clans and did not recieve them. Went to the forums and it said go to apple support. apple support said go to the developer. So they say go to each other what do I do?

    BOught gems in clash of clans and did not recieve them. Went to the forums and it said go to apple support. Apple support said go to the developer what do I do because they say go to each other?

    You need to take it up with the developer first. If they don't fix things, you need to open the issue with iTunes support.
    Going by the threads here, not a day goes by that someone doesn't have an issue with in app purchases in Clash of Clans.

    Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
    As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
    You need the 1333 speed RAM.
    If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
    If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
    If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
    Maximum Memory
    32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Good Luck!

    I don't know what service options are available in India but if this helps I do know that once you purchase your Apple product the warranty is valid anywhere in the world.
