Thank you for the feedback. I tried all the suggested methods. I did not have the energy to fight with HP in small claims court so I did not do that (HP you win but remember if you take customers for granted you are doomed).
If anyone is reading this, please do not ever buy HP products if you want to upgrade. Their system powersupply is non standard. Their connector is 2×12 on the motherboard (which is non standard btw and none of the Frys/Microcenter in my city carried it). All I could salvage was the RAM and processor. I ended up spending close to $350 (on motherboard, graphics card, case, power supply and other components)but for the past 3 weeks my PC has been working without any issues.
13 months ago i purchased an HP, slimline after only 13 freakin months the mother board blew. HP customer service did nothing for me. My opion of HP products,,,they suck.

Incase you are interested, I have my old mother board. If it is just a mother board issue, it may work. Let me know if you are interested
