Pavilion 15-cs3006tx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My new laptop (1 month old) freezes occasionally (once in 4-5 days). The whole thing freezes and nothing works, and screen blinks like in the video. Everything is up to date. Installed OS is Windows 10 version 1909 (OS Build 18363.900), BIOS version Insyde F.06 updated 08-04-2020. Please help.

@Devipriya-Gogoi,

 

I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is freezing occasionally.

 

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

 

I recommend you uninstall the graphics driver from the device manager and then download and install the driver from the below link.

 

Here is how it is done.

 

Intel: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp102001-102500/sp102122.exe

 

Nvidia: https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp104001-104500/sp104237.exe

 

  1. Type "Device Manager" into the search field to open the device manager console.
  2. Expand the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall, right-click the device entry, and click Uninstall.
  3. On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
  4. When the uninstall process is complete, remove the device.

NOTE: On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click the Delete the driver software for this device option to delete the driver package that was used for the device.

 

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Unfortunately the problem happened again. I have to force restart the computer by pressing the button and I lose all my work.

Did not solve my problem.

Reaching back to you, because I recently  performed system recovery and reset the windows. Issue still persists.

Did you perform the system test? If yes, what was the result?
