Please, I need an answer fast..Thanks in advance!1. Is it only when you play media files it occurs? 2. Go to My Computer,When you click on folders do you hear a click sound? 1 Yes 2 No : Then your audio driver is either not available or not enabled. Possible Solutions: A. Go to Device Manager, Click on sound, then right click on the audio driver shown ( mine is Realtek) if it is disabled you have to enable it. B.If not available you will need to download an audio driver. C. Try last known good configuration. 1 Yes 2 Yes Then it's the media player that is faulty. Check if the audio setting of the media player has not been tampered with and tweak it properly or download VLC player. |

It's Windows 7.Is your disk drive partitioned? If yes, please move all moveables (movies, music e.t.c) away from Drive C to any other Drive you have created. Your laptop needs all the space it can get from Drive C when processing. Secondly, using Norton Antivirus slows down the PC as Norton takes a lot of space. Try changing to a lighter antivirus like Eset or kaspersky. Have you scanned comprehensively your PC for any Virus recently? If No please do that. 1 Like |

After that go to diagnostics and run me a test of the hard drive. make note of the result. then f9 to load setup default press f10 to save and exit then attempt to boot again what model is your hp. fo rexample hp cq60 windows vista ?

I did some updates recently from Microsoft. About 109Mb. After successful installation, the blue screen thingy started. It lasted for hours. I wanted to do system restore, can't find anyone to pick. Is anyone faced with this problem? How safe is Microsoft Updates then? |

Emmyk: I did some updates recently from Microsoft. About 109Mb. After successful installation, the blue screen thingy started. It lasted for hours. I wanted to do system restore, can't find anyone to pick.microsoft still remains a very safe site. You were asked not to shutdown or unplug your pc. The most probable cause is the system went off while the update is in progress. |

mcdokwe: microsoft still remains a very safe site. You were asked not to shutdown or unplug your pc. The most probable cause is the system went off while the update is in progress.I get ur point bro. I stopped the update and shutdown when it was around 50+ (downloading, not installing where u are warned not to shutdown). Similar people have this problem online bro. Just search it. It has been happening since 1897  Go figure!I thought the Blue screen means a software that is installed recently is not compatible with the system? Well, I have removed all the recent updates from Microsoft. I don't trust 'em anymore. |

deji2009: The BIOS version is F.1c while the BIOS vendor is Insyde Ran a Diagnostics on the PRIMARY HARD DISK SELF TEST and it displays "HARD DISK NOT EXIST" and when I ran it on MEMORY TEST "it says MEMORY TEST PASS". After doing f9 and F10 then it automatically boot itself and went back to same old story The model is HP PAVILION DV6 6c11nr(window 7) Actually the laptop was bought in US but when it arrives my address, the cover beneath the battery cover was slightly open...which I forced to close then later I realised that all the screw used in closing the back cover were pulled out.....Naija Custom I guess |

Idboyostic:Can you open and check if the hard disk is physically present. If it is, might be bad due to mechanical damage while in transit. |

Emmyk: I get ur point bro. I stopped the update and shutdown when it was around 50+ (downloading, not installing where u are warned not to shutdown).why would you stop the update while still installing? |

Arobake:Baring in mind previous help you have got. There are many reasons a system can be slow. It might be due to an aging processor, poor cooling system, blocked vents or even an hard disk with bad sectors. Since you have defraged your hdd. I would advise you don't partition. It won't change a thing. All you need do is carry out an hard disk test from your bios setup to ascertain the health of the hdd. 1 Like |
