BSOD

Hello,
The HP laptop I have was designed for Win XP and someone upgraded it to Win 7 Ultimate before I obtained it. Everything ran fine until recently it started blue screening. The message says "a clock interupt was not received on a second processor".

It appears updating the BIOS would work but HP does not offer a BIOS upgrade for Win 7, only for Vista and before. It appears you can use some drivers from XP though I am not sure BIOS would be one of those drivers. Any ideas on how to fix my issue?

I don't know if this is enough information, but I've been at it for several days now and am pulling my hair out...what little is left.

If I have posted in this in the wrong forum or subject heading, I do apologize and would gladly accept any pointers.

Thanks

Could be a bad CPU.

It seems to happen when the computer has been on for a period of time, roughly an hour or so. Seemed like it could have been a temperature problem
