Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Try updating the BIOS and thermal framework drivers on your PC and check if it helps.

• Update the BIOS using this link. Click Here
• Update the thermal framework drivers using this link. Click Here
• You can try updating other drivers on your PC using HP support assistant.
• Refer to this article to know more information about using the HP support assistant.
• If the issue still persists after trying out the steps try the steps recommended below.

Try performing the following ts steps:
 
1 - Right-click on any open space on your computer's taskbar.
2 -Select "Task Manager" and press "Enter."
3 -Select "View" from the Taskbar Manager's pull-down menu. If more than one computer is connected to your network, notice the graphs for all CPUs. Select "One Graph Per CPU." This will help determine which computers are using more processing time. 
4 -Go to the "Applications" tab. Because this tab shows open programs in real-time, you will be able to see exactly when a program has been opened and closed at the time that it occurs. Identify and close selected programs by highlighting each one separately and clicking on "End Task" to free up the processing time. (Important: Make sure all work is saved prior to closing any programs.)
5 -Go to the "Processes" tab and view them, but do not delete any of them unless absolutely necessary. All of the hidden system processes and programs are listed here. (Note: See Warnings section.)

Also, Hit Win Key + R:

• Type in “Regedit” and then hit Enter.
• Go to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management’
• Find ‘ClearPageFileAtShutDown’ and change its value to 1

Restart the computer

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
