Hi, since a few days, my HP Laptop freezes randomly, mostly in idle but also under load.
Reference to this: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/WiFi-Disconnects-randomly-and-WHEA-Lo...
and
I have nearly the same entries in my Event Manager and after disabling Bluetooth and Wifi, it does not freeze anymore. Seems like the Hardware has become faulty (nearly 3 years now).
I cannot find my model on the HP Parts Surfer website so I cannot look up any spare parts. Could you please let me know which WIFI and Bluetooth module is suitable for my Laptop for replacement? Or does HP offer a (not astronomically high priced) repair?
Many thanks
Azrail

Hi,
just did all of it (BIOS Update, all 4 drivers). Issue persists. Here is a screenshot from the event manager showing the "resolved hardware issue":
That warning comes in every few seconds or minutes. Sometimes it still freezes.
What I have noticed: the warning and the freezes are gone when I disable both WIFI and Bluetooth (tested for an hour).
EDIT: nevermind, still got the warning messages even when WIFI and Bluetooth are off. Any further ideas?

Hello @Azrail
I see this is serious technical problem...
Recommendation and solution
--- Solution A ---
HP warranty valid -> Contact HP Support with detailed information.
--- Solution B ---
HP warranty expired -> You're not lucky.
- Disable wireless device
- Buy third party usb driven wireless adapter as <work around>.
Good luck
