I have a problem with my HP Pavilion dv6ooo with Vista OS. it started hanging recently and despite using recovery CD the problem still persist which I think eliminated it from software problem. Does anyone know what could be the KEY problem? hardware or what?

Frankly, it could be any one of a hundred different things causing a 'hang'.

The HP recovery CD is one of those that simply restores the registry leaving files which have been changed since the date of the ones on the CD still in tact on the hard drive. Hence, if one is corrupt, it is not replaced when recovery is run.

Please describe what exactly you're talking about 'hanging'. Is it slow? Is the HDD light blinking when it appears to hang? When is it hanging, on start up or shut down, when accessing a file, or what? Is it searching for a network? Is this in an office or at home?
