Hi there,
For a couple of months my laptop is acting a little strange. I bought it a little over a year ago. Its an Asus N750JK.
When not using the laptop for a couple of hours, or sometimes a couple of minutes, the hard drive seems to freeze. I can use the mouse and click on things but nothing happens. I cannot open programms or other applications. The HDD led indicator is also not flashing. The other indicator lights are flashing. Sometimes when I wait a couple of seconds the laptop starts working and you can hear the hdd starting up. From then on everything seems to work as normal. I checked the power settings and I turned off the feature to stop the hdd when inactive.
Is there a problem with my HDD or do I have a bigger problem with my motherboard?
BTW sometimes the laptop stops working and the hdd doesnt turn back on. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button to force a shutdown. After pressing the power button again it starts to boot like normal and it keeps working for a while. The problem always occurs when I dont use the laptop for a small ammount of time or sometimes for a couple of hours.
I ran a hard drive diagnostic tool but it did not find an error.
It did occur several times that when I randomly started pushing buttons on my keyboard or tapped the bottom of the laptop case, it started working again, not always though. So it could be random luck.
