I just had the screen go black for a few seconds and then suddenly go back to normal. Noticed two devices were installing as well despite the only thing plugged in being the charger :/ Did try and do some research but everybody was saying how it happened multiple times and the pc would restart...

The computer is hotter than normal now, but since its around the area where all the air comes out from, I assume it is because of the fan spinning really fast during the update.

On the bright side, I now have a 'get windows 10' thing on the taskbar which I was beginning to wonder where it was. Now I just need to wait for July and then I can get Cortana (the only reason why I want windows 10). On a side note, I did previously have problems with the disk drive where I...

I think the noise previously heard was the fan because hearing the fan spin really fast was basically the sound previously heard but louder. Still can hear the noise previously heard now after doing a BIOS update (the one after that said the same file already existed so I didn't do it).

Installed a BIOS update and during the update the fan was spinning really fast (could hear it) is that normal?

Just been told I have 40 freaking updates :O I need to bookmark the page so I update more. Heres how the updates were allocated. Probably miscounted but anyway...: Version File size Updated Driver-Audio (1) Driver-Chipset (5) Driver-Graphics (3) Driver-Keyboard, Mouse and Input...

YAY I AM NO LONGER A NEW MEMBER! I AM AN ACTIVE MEMBER!

I've been looking at the HP website and decided to update the BIOS as I have never done that (on ANY laptop) because it says updating the BIOS may stop the problem (that is the article summarised as I have since gone onto another website).

Laptop seems to be normal temperature. Still making the whirrling noise now :/ I'll probably have to send it to HP and pay whatever the extortionate amount is to fix it because the computer shop in my area opens like once every 3 months or something. What would be the other symptoms of a...

For some reason my computer is making this whirrling noise and I don't know why. It only started this time when turning my computer on. I have hp coolsense on but don't want to turn it off as my computer might begin overheating. It comes from the top left hand corner of the second half of the...

Thanks very much for both reply's. In reply to the bit about the poll not having enough options I accidentally posted without finishing it, and I don't know how to edit it (which is also why there is a spelling mistake in one of the options) and I only found out how to edit the actual post...

Here's a screenshot of the results from the command pompt

P.S. I'm new to this forum so the poll is a bit messed up and I don't know how to change it because I accidentally pressed enter and it posted while writing all the options for the poll so ignore it if you can :confused_smile::regular_smile:*-)

I've recently been having problems with setting my account picture. It will come up with an error every time I try to change it. I haven't changed my account picture in 6 days nor been on my computer in 6 days (which I doubt affects it). I actually had this problem before (a month and a week ago...
