Hewlett-Packard has discovered a memory flaw that could be in as many as 900,000 of its notebook computers and is offering customers free memory modules as a remedy.
The computer giant said Friday that through tests, it discovered a circuit design flaw in some notebook memory modules that could cause Windows operating system "blue screens," intermittent lockups or memory corruption. HP believes that about 900,000 notebooks could be affected by the memory problem, said company spokesman Mike Hockey. To be affected, HP discovered, notebooks must combine the potentially defective memory modules with one of several Intel chipsets and Pentium processors that support a certain low-power state, dubbed C3, he said.
