Hello all, I had to fight this for a couple days and I figured I'd come here to post the fix (so far things are working.)

I bought a new drive and put the 64bit RC on my HP TX2000 tablet. I had a few issues with fingerprint reader and an ongoing problem with bluetooth "forgetting" my mouse, but I could deal with those.

About a week ago, just a couple days after the install, my tablet would randomly freeze for a couple minutes. Whatever happened to be open would simply have the (not responding) in the header. I was unable to open task manager, unable to do anything. After a couple minutes, everything I clicked on or keyed in would open all at once as the machine unfroze.

I was at the end of my rope and ready to signal defeat by putting Vista back on when I decided to look through all the logs I could find. I'm not much of a techie, but I get by.

I found a system security entry at the time of the most recent lockup. Took me awhile but I figured out it was the windows error reporting service. I put 2 and 2 together and decided something was crashing and causing the error reporter to start up. I checked another log and found 3-4 time entries that exactly coincided with the error reporting, I hypothesized they were the cause.

Those particular entries were for /device/raid0 controller. Puzzling since I have only a single ata3 drive. I checked in device manager and found it under disk controllers with a driver dated back to 2007 (nvstor.sys). I clicked on install new driver, it went to the web and grabbed it, and 5 seconds later was asking me to reboot.

I have not had a lockup since. The root of this ongoing problem was the nvidia chipset driver(s)-specifically the disk controller (nvstor.sys). The HP nvidia driver did not address this.

Anyone out there with weird issues on their tx2000, I hope this helps. I can't bring myself to go back to Vista-the first operating system to cause me to consider a Mac. Windows 7 is the best thing I have seen come from windows yet.

It's great to hear that you were able to resolve the freezing issue on your HP TX2000 tablet running Windows 7 by updating the disk controller driver associated with the NVIDIA chipset. Windows 7 indeed brought many improvements over Vista, and it's good to see that you found a solution that allowed you to continue using it without the freezing problem.
If you encounter any more issues or have further questions regarding your HP TX2000 tablet or Windows 7, feel free to ask for assistance. Enjoy your computing experience with Windows 7!
