intermittent grinding noise from hard drive or fan on hp envy x360

[briain]

There is an intermittent grinding noise from either the hard drive or fan on my hp envy x360, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.99 GHz.  The laptop has both a SSD and a HHD.  The grinding noise lasts a second or two, the repeats 5-10 times, then stops.  About 5 or 10 minutes later the grinding sound repeats itself.  The computer is otherwise functioning fine, but this might be a sign that it might crash sooon.

I reviewed your post and I understand that you hear a grinding noise from the computer.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check whether the issue is resolved.
