I'm not happy either and am in the same boat, with a brand new PC that cost over $1000.
However the problem on my new PC is not caused by HP or the hardware. It is caused by Microsoft Windows, since it happens whenever I use Windows to start an update of Windows, on software that was freshly installed by Windows on the PC. The PC hardware was running fine for over a month, before Windows started having this problem. The Windows software was running fine for over a month, before it started having this problem, evidently caused by some recent Windows update(s).
In theory, other people should be able to reproduce the problem on new PC's by following the steps I described above. In theory it should not be limited to HP machines. Hopefully it won't affect older PC's but at this point that's not guaranteed, since it may depend on how Microsoft Windows performs new updates on older PC's.
I plan to call Microsoft and HP today, to report the problem in person on the phone.
