HP dv9689ea recovery failed

Hi

I have HP DV9689ea pavillion model with windows vista home premium.
2gb RAM
500 gb harddrive
2 ghz intel centrino duo

3 weeks ago, the system starting freezing after 5 mins of use. I used the partition drive to recover.2 days later i got a blank screen and nothing would work on it. Even recovery took me to blue blank screen.

I sent an email to HP. they asked me to buy the recovery cd, which bought.

The following was what they asked me to do. and I have done.

Check hard disk-both quick and comprehensive - PASSED
use killdisk to remove partition - Successfully completed.
Use recovery CD - Done. But halfway thru it fails. When i checkthe error log, everything in it had passed except for "timeout check failed".

This has happened 3 times now. I wrote to HP again. They are not giving me an answer, instead diverting me to the repair centre.

Is there way i can avoid tht error. Please let me know if you need any further info.

Please help.

Thank You.

Cheers
Loks
