It is usually software issue - Windows, drivers, updates, everything in a rush to update itself. I am dealing with this often when users/customers purchase new computers.

It's a bit hard to troubleshoot such a thing remotely but I will provide you with some generic steps that usually help.Įnsure your Windows is fully updated - Go to Settins - Windows Update and run manual updateĮnsure your video card drivers are updated - download and install from the HP site or use the Device Manager Method : I'm getting rid of my 6 year old HP laptop because the internet and videos made the CPU max out and freeze, so I'm very frustrated that my brand new computer is giving me similar problems (although I've monitored CPU usuage during video chat and haven't seen it max out). For example, I can rejoin the meeting but it will freeze again in 10 minutes, then the next time it's 5 minutes. Once it has frozen, it will will begin to happen more frequently. Since then the laptop will freeze after about 15 minutes in a video chat, or 10 minutes of watching a video on the internet. After 45 minutes of still being frozen, and unable to get to the Task Manager, I shut the computer down using the power key. I haven't moved over anything from my old laptop, I have only installed the video software I purchased from HP and the Zoom app (video conferencing).ĭuring the 2nd week of use, the laptop froze while 4 tabs were open in the Microsoft Edge browser. I guess I have to follow the same mantra I used to follow with Windows updates - wait at least two months before upgrading.I received my new laptop 4 weeks ago. They're keeping the laptop for repairs and will keep it for at least a week. I also challenged him on several of his comments and he seemed to get annoyed at that.įinally the laptop crashed after 15 minutes of FaceTime use! The store manager was pleasant to speak to but when I was dealing with the floor technician I believe he took offense on how knowledgeable I was and I wasn't buying his bs comments and explanations. Finally they stopped chanting 'third party' application issue. Second, this is a month old laptop with Apple Care and after two complete MacOS re-install they're not allowed to replace the laptop as it may be a software issue. On their technical forums (as they refuse to look at these or read these notes as I politely asked them to) there's no mention of issues reported other than Skype and the camera after update 10.14.6 - so they kept insisting that the issue was Skype! I told them there is no Skype app installed! Well, I took my laptop to my closest Apple Store and let me tell you that I'm somewhat disappointed.įirst, they were quick to blame a 'third party' application when there were no applications loaded on my laptop as I left it as a 'clean' install with no apps other than whatever is bundled from Apple.
