My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv6-2180us and can be seen here:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157118

I have had problems with my laptop not starting and getting the 'Boot device not found' error.  But it only happens about half of the time.  and if I force restart my laptop after the error message, sometimes it will start again with no problems.   This issue has also been accompanied (these issues started at the same time) with crashes when the computer is on.  

 

Sometimes my computer will freeze and crash after I hear an audible noise that comes from my laptop. A noise that is very similar to the sound laptops make when you force shut down using the power button.  I've performed a clean restart, and could not find any issues, I have also reseated my hard drive, and this problem still persists.  Any advice?

 

Thanks
