Hello there, I've got an issue with my HP Pavilion 15. It's only about 1 month old so it would be considered fairly new and everything is fine with the laptop, but suddenly one day it made a strange noise, it was loud, and it was noticeable. It was sort of like something ignited? I don't know, it was sort of like a spark or like a fuse or whatever and the sound was loud. Then I've noticed that the disk usage was at 100% but my laptop was idle, I wasn't doing anything on it, I had just started it up and went onto task manager, looked at disk and found out it was at 100%. This only happens after the noise. The noise doesn't happen often, well it used to not happen often, the reocurring of the sound has increased, every day I hear the sound now and I can't really continue on browsing because of, well, 100% disk usage. I'm sort of going paranoid. I only bought it 1 month ago and it was fairly expensive so I don't want to go buy a new computer when the one I got is only 1 month old. Please reply if you have useful information, also please reply fast I'm paranoid haha.
