Hi! My Media Center PC M7088D hangs sometimes and I have to force reset the hard switch on the PC itself to get it woring again. Any one any idea?

First of all you need to isolate the possible causes by process of elimination.
When did the problem start ?
Had you just installed a new program or made any hardware changes just previous to the issue starting ?
Have you (or any other user on the PC) perhaps deleted files or directories you should not have (system files) ?
Does this happen when using any particular program or randomly at any time ?
Have you tried bring the unit back to a restore point prior to when the problem started ?
These are things we need to know in order to assist you successfully.
If all attempts to fix this fail I would simply backup all personal files & use the HP restore DVDs to bring the unit back to original factory settings.
Leave it in that state for a few days to see if the problem is still there. If so, then you likely have a hardware issue & should contact HP.
If not, then be more careful when installing new programs or deleting files.
Make it a habit to routinely create "restore points" using the Windows "System Restore" utility. Especially just prior to instlling a program you download from the web.
