So, I recently bought a new laptop from a local store and now I've ran into few problems.
First one is that the computer is making high pitched noise. It sounds like there are some electricity problems so at first I thought it was the battery or something around that. But you can't always hear the sound, sometimes it is so low you won't even notice it. It was really weird so I started listening more closely and I heard it coming from the middle area of the laptop where I think the processor should be. What is more, the sound gets louder when using more demanding programs for example when I play some of the latest games then there is a constant sound but the sound is gone when there is a brief lagspike or when I alt-tab from the game. Or when I work in Photoshop, then there is that sound when I zoom in and out for example. But yea, can't hear much when I'm on desktop or just browsing internet. So, any thoughts on that?
Here is the second problem. I think this must be more operating system error rather than hardware but anyway, when I got my computer, I updated windows 8 to 8.1 and after that there appeared a problem with shutdowns and sleep mode. Both of those things just did not work. The screen just went black, the indicator lights stayed on and I could still hear the fan and harddrive working. Few times I tried waiting which I did for atleast 15 minutes, sometimes maybe even more but in the end I always had to force shutdown. I actually found a solution to the shutdown problem on the internet. I had to disable hibernation in command prompt and now computer shuts down like it should but the sleep mode problem still persists. I guess I could just disable sleep mode but then I would have to choose between fast returns to my work and power saving. I'm still trying to search internet for solutions to this but maybe someone here already has some tips or answers.
Any help will be appreciated.
