Here are the issues that I'm having with my Laptop:
1/The
drive (1TB HDD) will randomly stop showing up on windows when it hasn't been used for a period of time. (This could be around 1hr of inactivity) It does not appear again unless I restart the computer.
2/When I restart the computer I get a Black screen on boot up. The predator logo fails to initialise and start the booting process.
The problem with this is, I've found the solution to this issue and its definitely bad.
There seems to be 2 ways to get the laptop to boot;
At anytime while the screen is black, if I tip the laptop up slightly and let it fall back and slightly hit the table. The booting process starts.
Sometimes this doesn't work and the other way to start it is by pressing a little firmly on the right side of the surface of the laptop (Next to the touch bad/ Under the keys, where the Info sticker is placed)
Doing either of these starts the booting process, at anytime while this black screen is on.
Everything works normal after this, doing either of these 2 actions while windows is on, does nothing. It doesn't blue-screen windows or make it freeze in anyway.
3/ I am getting blue-screens once I open my laptop after the lid was closed, also the bluescreen doesn't record the data it's completely frozen at 0% .
My main issue is, I need this computer to do my work. I can't have it shipped off to be replaced and wait 3-4 weeks. I need it for work. If it stopped working i'd literally need to go purchase another computer. Any Advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!
