I have a Compaq/HP Presario CQ61, and it seems to have a few little niggles that annoy me:
The "hardware acceleration" seems very random and the fans make a horrible, almost squeaking noise. It's difficult to describe, but I find it extremely frustrating. I understand when playing games (it can barely run Minecraft, especially after the 1.8 update) and watching videos, but as I type this, it's going crazy because of the System Idle Process.
My laptop sometimes suddenly turns off when I lock it and leave it for a few minutes/hours. It also sometimes won't shut down when I want it to; it just sits there with the fan whirring away until it goes into a blue screen.
I doubt that these are serious problems, because I have had this for quite some time, and I can still do everything I previously could - albeit with constant whirring, and having to make sure my laptop turns off properly.
Any insight will be helpful.![]()
