i have a hp pavilion notebook computer that runs windows xp. i don't know if it is just a terrible computer or what, but here are my problems:
*Something in the computer is making a strange noise, it is somewhat high pitched sometimes a small clikcing...definitely was not there when i originall bought it.
*My computer shuts itself off after a few minutes or when the hard drive starts running hard (but the fan seems to be working).
*it will not reformat. it shuts off or freezes in the middle of it. even when I have been successful reformating...after i installed a d-link wireless cardbus, it stopped working and the system got messed up again. The computer also started to be slower as well.
I was wondering if i may have gotten a virus that is super terrible...or if the harddrive is messed up. i have taken the thing into a computer repair shop TWICE, and they didn't know what it was. in fact they didn't think anything was wrong...
*Also, another issue i have been having since i have had the computer is that sometimes the monitor just doesn't turn on. at all. and i have to restart the thing a few times before i can get it on. even while the it is on...i will shut my laptop and it won't sleep or antything, but i will lift the top up and it will be off and won't come back.
this stupid thing is driving me nuts because the os will not load or reformat and i am constantly seeing the blue screen of death.
With all of this in mind, does anyone have any idea what could be wrong???
THANK YOU.........
