Notebook freezes

<< < (5/15) > >>

Shane:
If it is happening to both drives then it could be more motherboard related, such as the sata ports dropping out or not responding.

At the same time it could be a bios problem as well, have you checked to see if there is any bios updates for the system?

Nomad:
I've done that in the past, I'm not sure the date, may be 2011, I downloaded and executed an update released in 2010.
I just checked again, and oddly, every available versions now are older than the one I installed (one from 2007 and others from 2008).
I can't tell if this freezing thing began after the BIOS update.
Could it be the update I installed is no longer available because it gave trouble?

Boggin:
It's unusual to find a BIOS update being withdrawn - at least I've never come across it.

What you could do is to reset the BIOS - you may need to look that up via Google for how to do that on your make & model, see how that goes and update to the latest version if all still okay.

Shane:
What is the exact model of the laptop so I can go look at its support page of downloads. And what version bios do you have installed right now?

Shane

Nomad:
It's a HP Pavilion dv9890 EP.
BIOS: F.5A

Thanks
