Prime lags after extensive processing

[bobkrohn]

These are symptoms that I have been complaining about for months.
I'm "glad" that someone else is FINALLY confirming my experience.
I felt like the little child in the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes"

*Excessive slow down or complete stoppage during Prime <-> PC operations.
*Having to do a Restore several time in a row in order to get it to take effect.
*Excessive slow down or complete stoppage during program compiling.

Sometimes a pinhole reset will work, getting you back to "normal".
Sometimes a Backup/Restore cycle will work.
Lately, I'm doing a full Factory Reset with format of Prime C: drive, resetting the Firmware to old original, with the HP usbtools program. Then re-updating the firmware. I've now done that at least a dozen times in the last few weeks since learning how.

All sorts of other crazy symptoms can accompany these issues.
Corrupted or missing files. Failure to recognize program variables or other programs...

No, it's not YOU or something YOU are doing wrong.
There are fundamental deep flaws in the machine.
You will bang your head against the wall and loose sleep trying to "fix" it.
During the brief periods where the machine is working you are in love and so happy.
Just yesterday my Enter key lost it's mechanical "click" but still seems to work.
Now I am worried that the pinhole reset switch will also fail from overuse.
Good luck my friend.
