I bought this PC nearly a year ago now, i still have a few months of warranty left and the PC seems to have some problems:
Overheats way too much now
Hard drive seems to be clicking or making failing noises
Bootup is much slower
Overall stability problems
How can i make a claim?, everywhere I've searched just seems to redirect me to check warranty status, not actually to make a claim.
I bought the PC at a Curry's store.

Hi @nomad5Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Request you to follow the below-troubleshooting steps overheating issue.
The following list describes some causes of excessive heat:
-
Dust inside the laptop.
-
A new component, such as a hard drive, is added. The extra component causes the power supply to work harder and generate more heat. Extra heat also radiates off the new component and adds to the temperature inside the case.
-
Over time, some cooling fans might slow down and wear out, as the laptop is getting hot, depending on the usage of the laptop.
-
High ambient room temperature.
Step 1: Removing dust and lint by cleaning vents
Step 2: Ensuring proper space for ventilation
Step 3: Updating the BIOS
Step 4: Using HP CoolSense technology
Step 5: Placing the notebook in a cooler room
Step 6: Testing for hardware failure
If the hardware has failed, capture the failure ID and revert for further assistance.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
