Computer in "Sleep" continually makes noises

Hi Judy

Does this sound like the noise when a USB device is plugged in and then disconnected?

Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

Does the Hardware list in Device Manager refresh when you hear this sound?

 

laptop fan makes noise

Hello there,

I'm Gowtham, I'll be happy to help you!


I apologize for the issue you are experiencing. Please be assured that I will do my best to respond satisfactorily and assist you with resolving the problem.


If your laptop fan is loud, screeching, or making a grinding noise, it tends to be one of two things: Your device is overheating, or something inside it—like the fan—is broken.

Please try the following steps:

1. Clean the air vent

If your laptop is still loud or the fan is constantly running, you should also check the air vents for dust, which might clog your device. To do so, aim a can of compressed air toward your laptop's fan vents at an angle, taking care not to spray air directly inside your machine. It's also a good idea to clean your laptop's vents every 6 months as a preventative measure, ensuring dust buildup won't cause your computer to overheat.

2. Stop unnecessary programs running in the background

Laptops often run programs in the background while you're working in a different window. Those programs, as well as any windows you have open, can bog down your device. Here's how you can check to see if that's your issue:

To remove background programs for Windows:

1. Launch the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
   
2. Right-click the program you want to end.
   
3. Click End Task.
   

3. Update your drivers

Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your laptop's fan. You can download the drivers from the manufacturer's website.


If the above steps don't resolve the problem, you may need to replace the fan.

Hope it helps you. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you!

 

Bluetooth device shows "Code 39" error in Device Manager on Windows 10 laptop

I'm encountering an issue with my Bluetooth device on my Windows 10 laptop. In Device Manager, the Bluetooth device is displaying an error message: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)".

Here are some additional details about the problem:

• My laptop model is HP R007tx, and it is Bluetooth-capable.
  
• Despite the Bluetooth hardware being present, the device manager shows this error, indicating a problem with the device driver.
  
• When attempting to troubleshoot, I found that the Bluetooth driver's digital signature cannot be verified, suggesting a revoked signing certificate.
  

I've already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

• Reinstalling Bluetooth drivers obtained from the HP support website.
  
• Updating Windows and checking for driver updates.
  
• Restarting the laptop multiple times.
  
• Checking for dependencies and performing a System File Checker scan.
  

Despite these efforts, the error persists, and I'm unable to use Bluetooth functionality on my laptop.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to resolve the "Code 39" error with the Bluetooth device driver? Is there a way to address the issue with the driver's digital signature or any other troubleshooting steps I can try?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Laptop details:

• Make and model: HP R007tx
  
• Operating system: Windows 10
  
• Bluetooth device error: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
