To go back to the Windows 7 that HP pre-loaded, I would run a full system image and data backup using the Windows backup and restore program and then restore the HP image at the boot screen, I believe you press F11 that takes you to recovery partition.

If you did an upgrade, you may have some programs or other junk on your system that is causing your problem--maybe you should try the famous "custom" or clean install? Also did you run the Compatibility checker before upgrading? That can point out driver conflicts that are a common cause of the Blue Screen. Hope that helps, Ralph Hedley:

The first being that the CPU seems to be running a lot hotter, in fact in the run of a day the laptop shuts down at least 5 times due to heat! And this never happened with Vista. The other issue is that I have gotten two BLUESCREENS (shudder) with the 1033 error. Are any of these issues attributed to Windows 7 Upgrades, or is it all just a horrible coincidence?
