I contacted HP who ran a scan of my computer and determined the correct chipset drivers were installed on the Motherboard.
I am not sure how because as I said the tech did not have any cd nor did he download any from the internet once the computer was up and running.
I know he did have to enter information I believe in the BIOS before starting the computer.
I mentioned that this problem started with a defective Heat sink fan. Well you would not believe it but when I started the computer tonight it had error message that " System Fan has failed " At this point I hope the the entire system fails I have a two year full replacement warranty.
I should tell you that I was able to correct both issues with Windows Media player and Rhapsody. I found from searching the internet that by deleting the DRM files in the registry and restarting the computer both program both work without crashing.
Thanks for all your help, take care
