2 you can download a free registry cleaner cnet.com and clean your registry http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=free+registry+cleaner&searchtype=downloads&rpp=10&filter=licenseName=Free|platform=Windows,Webware&filterName=licenseName=Free|platform=Windows,Webware&tag=ltcol
3 you can by more Ram
4 when your computer boots up look at the bottom right hand corner of your screen you will see programs that start automatically you might want to change the settings for some of those
5 run an anti virus software
6 clean out old compressed files start - all programs - accesories - system tools - disk clean

Seems like your battery is no longer holding on to its charge for a long time which would be the reason for the sound and sudden power off symptom. As far as over heating is concerned you should take precautions like not putting the computer on your bed or soft fluffy surfaces you should try to use a table or something hard so the vents are not blocked. I suggest looking into a new battery.

The battery is okay, I dont know wat happen, i fix all the system problem at HP support centre on the system and the system is back to is normal self,

I watched the battery stand by @ 5%, Thanks,

Good evening gurus, How are you all doing? I've got this problem with my lapii. Anytime I put it on, before it loads windows it starts making very loud and of course irritating toh toh toh sound it does that for about 1 minutes or longer and there after loads up windows normally. It's really embarassing cant even put on the laptop in class cos of the noise. I've already formatted and reinstalled windows but the problem still persists. I however noticed that if after putting it on if I start pressing F9 it will bring up a dark screen on which is written "load windows vista home premium" and below that "press F8 for more options" and I press enter on the former, it loads the windows without all the noise but normally before once i put it on it loads and I wouldn't have to do a thing until my user password is requested. The mouse also behaves funny at times since this problem started, it suddenly might stop clicking, the cursor still moves in response to my touch but on tapping as usual it does not execute unless I use the buttons below which is cumbersome. I dont know what to do again pls help me out. My exams are just starting and all my class note, practical materials are on the computer I cant afford not to use it now. Thanks for your anticipated support. System is HP G60, windows is vista home premium.

i think your laptop must be having some kinda hardware problem and i guess its with either the keyboard, mouse or any other input device.

well, before i conclude whether the charger or the battery is bad, look for a friend or a fellow that uses the same charger that is working and charge your laptop with it, if it persist then the battery is bad for sure and needs to be replaced.
cheers.

please Nairlanders,  can anyone in the house give me the key for Tuneup Utilities 2010?
I'll really appreciate any reply
thanks
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by routik(m): 4:11pm On Jun 13, 2010

that depends on your power source and laptop charger, make sure you have good stabilizer or power surge that will regulate your light properly and also make sure you are using the correct and original charger that is meant for your laptop.

cheers.
