    computer types "uuuu" even with keyboard removed
    « on: February 04, 2010, 07:26:11 PM »
    I have a HP omnibook xe4500 w/ pent 4 256mb ram 30g h.d. running a fresh install of windows XP home edition. the computer types "uuuuu" continuously. All diagnostics come back clean and device manager shows no errors or conflicts. Could this be caused by a BIOS error or is there a another reason for it.
                                                                                                    Thanks Handyman
