HP/Compaq :: Weird Geiger Counter Sound Coming From Hardrive Area
Jan 6, 2009
Had my DV5T a couple months now. Thought it was a broken hardrive but I had them send me a replacement and I still here it.
It just sounds like a geiger counter somtimes... not sure if this is normal?
Many times the sound is there when I am not accessing anything from the hardrive.
Tends to happen alot when streaming or just browsing the net.

So a few days ago, my computer just all of a sudden began making a
strange "grinding/crunching" sound which seems to be coming from the top left side of the computer. The sound is very clear especially from the back left corner vent. The noise seems to come and go but still has me very worried. I've read this noise may indicate a dieing hard drive, however tests came by negative and also the hard drive for this notebook is in the middle, not toward the top left. Anyway, I recorded the sound twice and was wondering if you could take a look and tell me what you guys think (you might wanna turn your volume up). I have an HP Dv7t

I just got a Dell Studio XPS 1640 today and I am having a major issue with the speakers. It sounds as if the person who put the laptop together wired them incorrectly, the top speakers near the keyboard sounds very faint and tinny like a surround speaker on a home theater system, but the volume is very low and cannot hear it unless you put your ear up to the speakers.

does the hard-drive protect thingamajiggy work on the dv5t, i have the dv5t 1009tx, no matter how you move it the harddrive led makes no indication that it is parking the heads...as oppsoed to the t41 i had previously y with the software on those things showed the most minute-est of vibrations
and also if you could show me how you (or anyone) who has enabled the SRS audio on their IDT soundcards
and as usual......everything is latest right down to the QLB post made a few hour ago
are the DV5T's batteries Lithium ion or Nickel Metal Hydride?

Basically, I donwload the new audio driver and there would be sound only on the right speaker. However, when the computer is shut down or reset the speakers will not work.
Â
what else can I do? FYI I am using windows 8-64bit.Â

I recently bought a Y50, only to discover that no matter what headphones I use, no sound will play. The actual speakers on the laptop work fine, I just cannot get any sound through headphones. I have tried messing with the drivers, but with no luck. What could be causing this? Or is my headphone jack busted?

I was trying to clean up my laptop inside since it was making too much noise and got hot very quickly. Reading around it could be due to bad air flow.
So when I took out my harddrive, i cracked a hard drive connecter. Now I am getting no disk found when I power up the laptop. Not sure why hp made this of plactic and so fragile. Even Acer has solid metal connecter. 10 year old Toshiba laptop has better disign. My drive connecter is from SUYIN and number is 78352.
Question is has anybody ran into this problem and sucessful in chagning only the connector. Looks like I might have to change the whole motherboard. It is only 1 year and would like to avoid sending it to HP if I can.

I just setup my brand new M6400 (well brand new from dell outlet). My config is QX9300, Dual HardDrives (primary is SSD), Nvidia 2700. I connected two external monitors using ePort plus dock and as I begin working on this new setup,
I notice a faint (but irritating once your ears tune in) churning/hissing/clicking (hard to describe) sound from the system. I have updated Bios to latest version. Os is Win 7 64bit.

since the past week, whenever i plug my headphones into my laptop sound comes through BOTH the laptop speakers and my headphones. It was working perfectly fine last week. My laptop doesn't have a Realtek driver, it has IDT with beats. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the latest drivers, and if I had realtek i would be able to change the settings.

Just recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5520 laptop with Intel Core i5-3210M CPU. Had it for about a month.
A couple weeks ago, I noticed an annoying clicking sound coming from underneath the laptop. It seems to be coming from the center of the laptop. They occur continuously no matter what I'm doing on the laptop, but their frequency is random. It will click once and then wait a few seconds til the next click sometimes or click twice back-to-back and wait a few seconds, etc. No pattern as far as I can tell.
I did the Dell Hardware test, and it reported on faults...
The clicking sound is not super loud or anything. I can't even hear it if the TV is on, but it gets super annoying after listening to it when the room is quiet.
This is my first Dell laptop, but I can't imagine this is normal. I have had a Compaq and a Toshiba and other than the fan, you can really hear anything out of them...

I have Aspire 7520 with xp OS. It has weird sound problem. Sound is not coming from speaker but when I plug in my headphone it does, but that too is very distorted. It was working fine previously both speaker and headphone. I dont know what went wrong? "Audio_Relatek_5.1" drivers are currently installed.
I've also checked sound setting they are perfectly fine.

Sound problem of ThinkPad X220. Audio CD is no problem, and sound comes from speaker. Headphone is also working when pluged into 3.5mm jack. But no sound from Internet Video such as ABC news or YouTube. Recently, I have installed Cisco TeleConference software, and I have uninstalled that software, but the conditions have not changed.

Looking at one drive, in both areas area 1 is always significantly hotter than area 2's. A 15 C increase.
Is it possible to set a single harddrive in the 2nd HDD area (farther away from the CPU and GPU that are causing all the heat), with the 1st area empty?
I tried simply moving it from area 1 to area 2, and it said it couldn't find the OS. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

When I look at my notebook's screen at an angle, an area at the bottom of the screen looks to be visibly lighter than the rest of the screen. There is also a small spot at the bottom of the screen that always looks lighter than the rest. Is this kind of thing considered relatively normal for an LCD?

Just received my HP Mini 1030NR and love the way it looks, size, everything..EXCEPT....that I have noticed a distinct vibration in the wristpad area on both sides.
As I was adding anti-virus and tweaking as I usually do, I noticed this vibration and wonder if this is an issue with SSD-based laptops.

I have a old hp zv5000 and it seems to randomly shut down, the problem is very peculiar. The battery on the hp cant hold charge for more than 10 minutes but the problem lies in the charger/laptop itself. The charger only seems to be able to charge the battery and the system only seems to runs on battery power, the battery runs out and the system shuts down (without any notice). When the battery is taken out of the system, it fails to start up.
i am guessing somewhere in the mobo :S since the laptop itself cant turn on external power when the battery is disconnected and only seem to run off battery power.

I've noticed lately that my framerate will suddenly go from ~100 fps (I set max there) or so to 20fps.
It will do that for almost a minute, and then suddenly for no good reason shoot back up to 100. Also, there would be times when absolutely nothing is happening in games, and it happens.
I used to think the drop was heavy firefights or traditional graphic issues like smoke or textures, but when i turned everything to the lowest, I still observed the exact same trend!
Windows Defender reports nothing and Spybot Search and Destroy reports nothing. I went through NHC to make sure HD is set on max performance and also set Battery Usage on max performance. I *thought* that would help, but the same thing started happening again after a small period (8-10 minutes) of no slow down.
Current theories are:
1. The cpu is overheating so it underclocks for a minute or so.
2. There is some process that I can't find (I might have missed something obvious) that checks in every 4-5 minutes

my computer screen has either been doing a brief flash or weird movement and then locks itself up. Everything is running but the screen, which is frozen in place (the mouse icon is also frozen). I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to fix this. I thought it was an overheating problem, but it's sitting at 53•C and still does it. It started doing this when I was playing WoW (only while playing), but that was 3-4 weeks ago and until now the computer worked fine.
It will also no longer restart itself; it goes through the shut down process but then basically powers off as if I just turned it off versus shutting down turned off (this laptop has distinctive sounds for both which is how I can tell). Normally I can wait a minute or two and then turn it back on and it boots up (if I try to turn it on right after it cuts off after a second). Now however, it gets to the first logo then cuts off. I have used compressed air to blow in the vents to get rid of dust if that might be a factor.

my new 15" unibody.
I was having bad battery life (under 2 hours) And noticed my fans were not spinning up to counter the increase in heat.
I called Apple and they had me reset my PRAM. With that done the system worked fine for a day.
Currently my Unibody will not stay connected to any wireless networks. I have tried 2 of my own routers and a friends. It will not stya connected, either on AC or battery.
Next issue involves CPU hitting 95c before the fan go past 2k rpm. Try and and play wow and the system locks up when the CPU hits 98c and the fans are still at 2k. Tried reseting the PRAM again, no luck.

I was trying to install HP updates yesterday and there was an insyde bios upgrade which the HP software prompted me to install.
As I accepted the license terms of the Insyde Bios. All the programs started closing and there was a dump. The PC never started after that.
When I try to power on the power led won't glow.

Here are the specs:
[url]
I tried using the hlt command in RM CPU clock utility, like many people have suggested, but the version I have does not even let me check the box. It is an option though, but the writing is in grey and cannot be chosen.
I was wondering if maybe there were some other options i could tweak to lessen the damn noise!
Under "advanced CPU settings" , I can choise the ACPI state to modifiy but there are the only options i could change:
Enable CPU low power
Enable Northbridge Low power
Enable FID/VID change
And i can change the clock divisor to the following:
8,16,32,64,128,256,512.....
