@DWC47 Welcome to HP Community!

 

 I understand you are having issues with the PC making a loud humming sound. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Have you tried to run a test on the computer?

Have you tried to update the Bios on your PC?

 

In the meantime, let's try these steps here:

 

Perform a Hard reset on the PC

Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset". Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:

  1. If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.

    If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.

  2. With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.

  3. With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.

  4. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.

Next thing, I would suggest here is to Run a System diagnostics test as well as an extensive test on the Hard drive from F2 (Please capture the failure ID for further assistance).

 

I would suggest please update the BIOS on your PC and check if it helps.

 

If the issue still persists it is a hardware issue, please contact HP support for service options.
