Hello everyone!
About a year and a half ago I bought an HP Pavilion P-035nd. Immediatly I noticed it was quite slow, but I expected it to be due to being a laptop. I quickly found out that my hybrid HDD was always running at 100%. After Googling my ass of and trying everything I found a solution and my problems were over. There was a background process that was asking a lot of the HDD and the processor. Then, about a year later, my laptop was updated to Windows 10 and unfortunately the problems returned. Yet again I tried everything but this time without the success part.
I decided it was time to contact HP Nederland (I live in The Netherlands). They said that it was probably a failing HDD. They offered to replace it but it would cost me €200 since my warranty had expired. After punching myself for not contacting HP earlier I said that if the only thing they were going to do was replace the hard-drive, I might as well go do that myself.
I bought an SSD and cloned my HDD onto it. Unfortunately the problems remained but with the SSD it didn't bother me that much. And fortunately after around five minutes after startup my drive and cpu-usage drop to 0%. Problem solved you would think. Well, since I installed the SSD I stumble on this:
When my laptop is turned on for (about) five minutes or longer, every time I shut it down or go into standby, it won't turn off. Everything shuts down fine, but when the system is supposed to stop it simply doesn't (the fan stays on and the light on the button stays on). It is almost like those old computers that say: "It is now safe to turn of the computer." I can just hold the power button for a couple of seconds and the system stops. Then, when I turn it on again, there is no problem.
Now I could live with this problem but people (including me) tend to close the lid. You can then relocate and open the lid again and your laptop would wake up again. I can't do that. Whenever it goes to standby, it won't wake up again. In my power settings I set it to "do nothing" whenever I close the lid, but I am really looking for a solution and I hope you guys can help me!
Thank you in advance,
Martijn
