The old computer had an AMD Phenom II X4 820 at 2.8 GHz. The real issue isn't really an issue, it's just the processor. There's also a strange whining/screeching noise coming from the back, probably from the fan or something, I'll have a look at that. That's fine because I'm also getting another computer that will have hdmi (big family). The first thing I noticed is that there was no hdmi or vga port on the computer, only dvi. Now these computers seem to have a lot of fundamental differences. Well, they instead decided to give us a completely new computer, an hp pavilion p7-1154 to be exact. About a week ago my computer had a hard drive/motherboard failure so we for some reason sent it in to best buy to get it fixed.
