Will be much indebted if a good techie/soul could give me useful
insights as to these endless hang ups/lock ups from my HP Pavilion
524w ... because I just can't function; PC is my CentCom.  Believe or
not, have been putting up with this crap for nearly three (3) months
now.  Argh! 
 
 
SYMPTOMS 

» The first sign of future hang ups --though these may still be hours
ahead-- is that after each boot up, the mouse pointer is jerky the
very first time one moves it.  It jumps anywhere from 1/4" to 2" or so
from its initial position (from wherever it landed after boot up) to
whatever direction I'm pointing it to.  Note it only does this one
time initially at the beginning of the session until the next boot
up.  From then onwards during any given session, the mouse is as
smooth as expected at all times.  This behavior occurs regardless of
the mouse used, either a Microsoft PS3 or a Microsoft wireless USB.

I'm going to be very honest with you - there is no way I'm reading through
all that. It's just too long. I'm sure someone more patient than I will be
happy to go through it all. I did skim what you wrote. As for me:

New computer that doesn't work the way you describe = hardware issues,
probably the motherboard but it doesn't really matter. It's new. Return it
for replacement under warranty. End of story. No fooling around.
