Hi
I've been hearing a strange noise coming from my brand new laptop. It seems to be coming from the rear-right corner. As of now it only has happened whenever I turn on the laptop and stops everytime windows is loaded. It's quite loud and it sounds like a high pitched very old HDD drive working hard. I've tried to solve it updating my BIOS with no luck. I need the laptop for my daily activities and I would prefer not to RMA it at the moment.
I'm using Win10 x64, all drivers etc up to date, no damage. The noise first happened the very first time I booted this laptop.
Any help would be deeply appreciated
Alvaro
