You seem more worried about the notifications than the fact that some of your system files are corrupt.
If you run the OS installer disk again I believe it'll fix it without removing any of your files. I accidentally deleted Time Machine the day after I got Leopard and I just ran the installer again and my system was perfect afterwards. I didn't have to redo anything. Might be a good idea to back up your personal files before trying it though.

Is is it always the same message for all the messages? (If not I need a complete list) Did you install HP drives of your own? Have you booted into safe mode to see if the problem goes away? What is your precise OS version? What third party hardware are you using (printers etc.)?

So you don't backup?
Hard drives are 100% guaranteed to fail, you are pretty much asking to loose all your data if you don't backup. Not backing up is horrible idea especially since a 1TB HD is so cheap these days and Time Machine makes the process automatic. Nobody has an excuse for not backing up or right to complain about lost data if they don't backup. Sorry about the rant but this is a pet peeve of mine.
A .kext file is a kernel extension file and you need them. If you have .kext issues it is typically from bad installs or bad third party software and in the worst case major OS corruption.
