Pavilion g7-1070us - Processor(​?) making click-hiss sound - a little help?

Whether the computer has just been turned on or has been on a while, whether or not I'm online, there is occassionally this hiccup-type sound that seems to coming from the processor. The computer is only 2 months old and has been doing this since almost the day I got it. The noise occurs at somewhat regular intervals of a half minute or so, then a minute goes by and it does it again. Then sometimes there will be a couple click-hiss sounds at a short interval. Sometimes there is the click sound without the hiss sound following. Sounds like a tiny button-snap, then hiss. It sort of sounds like opening a soda can then an exhalation. It doesn't seem normal and is driving me nuts. This computer was one of the last remaining of this model, which has been discontinued.
What is this noise and how can it be eradicated? Thanks for any help.

Hello. I have exact the same clicking sound problem with my HP PVILION p6-2260ea model. Just diferent is that its started after 6 month of daily use. I need some help too.

  • My phone was making a hissing sound gets hot and wont get service

    Phone was making odd hissing noise that sounded like it was coming from the charging port. The back ofvthephonevgets warm and the phone will not connect or get a signal.... It's new I've only had it for 2 weeks.

    If the phone really is only two weeks old, there probably is a problem with it that is not your fault. Bring it into the Apple Store and explain your issue to them and they will more than likely offer you a new phone. Bring it in soon though, before you have it in your posession for too much longer.

  • Macbook making clicking whirring sounds

    my macbook pro 13 inch 2010 suddenly started making a clicking, whirring sound, as though something that spins inside the case was clapping up against something that does not - the only thing i could think of was the hard drive - was not the CD - tried putting one in and taking it out - all the while the clicking, whirring sounds ensued - restarted the computer and now i hear a very dim clicking sound from time to time, but have yet to recreate the issue. Am a it worried. Anybody have any ideas?

    Hi Alexander,
    Until you can make a free appointment with an Apple Store "genius" bar, or take the machine in to an AASP, you can at least compare it to known bad HD sounds:

  • My microphone has stopped working and is making a hissing sound (msi L1350D windows 7)

    please could someone tell me how to repair my microphone i have tried to deinstall the sound and reinstalled it but it did not work

    If you have a passcode on the device and you don't know it, then thats another issue. For that, the ipad will need to be restored. This may or may not also resolve your mic issue.
    You didn't say wether or not the mic fails with just this one app, or with facetime and skype as well.
    Try this audio recording app if needed to test further
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audio-memos-free-voice-recorder/id304075033?mt=8
    I'd stay away from using anything like a vaccuum on the ipad, but clean air might work
    Try backing up the ipad to both icloud and itunes first.

    After backing up your ipad, then try restoring it, first set up as a 'new' device.

  • Pavilion g7-1070us processor

    I want to upgrade my laptop processor but don't know if it will work

    You have the Intel  i3-380M, which was the first generation i series processor. It can be upgraded. You could install this:
    Intel Core i5-480M 2.66-GHz (SC turbo up to
    2.93-GHz) processor (3.0-MB L3 cache,
    dual core, 35 W)
    However, when most people say they want to upgrade the processor, it means they are having general system slowness or they are not able to play the games they want to play. On the games, there is not much you can do. The video is the Intel HD onboard and is not gameworthy and would not be if you upgraded the processor. The bottleneck is the slow 5400 rpm hard drive and to a lesser extent the 4 gigs of RAM. If you install an SSD hard drive and boost it to 8 gigs RAM, you would think you had installed a faster processor. The processor is expensive to buy and difficult to install. An SSD and a RAM upgrade are an easy Do it Yourself project, on the other hand.
    If you need more help or have questions post back.

  • T430 left palmrest clicking/snapping sound

    I just received a new T430 less than a week ago, and ever since I first handled it, the left palmrest has been making clicking/snapping sounds even under light pressure. This region of the palmrest appears to be above the SmartCard reader. Video of this phenomenon is below.

    Is this normal? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Solved!

    This computer was sent to the depot, and they replaced the palmrest, which fixed the problem.

  • Macbook making clicking sound

    Hello Everyone, my computer has been making some odd sounds from the bottom right corner, on the corner of where your right palm would rest. I have the MacBook Pro Early 2011 15-Inch model (8,2).
    I've opened the computer once to upgrade the RAM, but the computer had been doing this before. I had figured that me putting the bottom back on would fix my problem, but it didn't.
    Also, the cover that is removed to open the Mac is slightly more into the computer that it should be -  it isn't flush with the body of the computer. This is also in the same area the clicking is coming from. I, again, figured putting the cover back on would fix it from when I had gotten it - it didn't. I assume this is the reason the computer is clicking, but I'm not positive. I'm certain that it isn't the hard drive clicking either, I've heard that before and is quieter than this is.
    Any help you could give would be very much appreciated. By the way, the computer IS under Applecare, so that is an option. Thanks!

    So then use the coverage and call Apple.

  • My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app.  I can not make phone calls.

    I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking.  I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left.  I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking,  Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app.  The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything.  Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed 

  • High pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor

    I am getting high pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor.
    Sound is coming from some place near CPU area.
    I tried changing Core C 6 State in BIOS from Enabled to Disabled to fix this issue.
    I also followed steps in following link, w w w . tomshardware.com/forum/292915-30-high-pitched-noise-coming-area
    No luck with above changes.
    I heard this is a common problem with MSI motherboards. Is there any fix for this issue.

    Quote from: flobelix on 12-January-13, 18:49:48
    That is surely no typical problem of MSI mainboards. In fact that is very rare if it is the board.
    Tke the board out of case on a non conductive surface with nothing else connected but but mainboard, ram, psu, cpu and vga. Try it again after clearing CMOS (>>Clear CMOS Guide<<)
    If you are then 100% sure that it is the board this could be a defect as MSI mainbaords normally don't cause coil whine and I haven't heard that about 970A-G46 so far
    I tried clearing CMOS by replacing jumper and loading factory defaults. Still high pitch sound is coming intermittently. As my 30 day period is over with Frys Electronics, How easy to get a replacement board from MSI. Does anyone know the steps?

  • MacBook making clicking sound when moved?! not the sms HELPP

    Today, i was using my MacBook and it started to make a clicking like sound when moved from side to side. I have had my MacBook for less then a week so I have no idea what could have happened. The computer has not beed dropped or anything! It is not the sms because I turned it off to see if the noise would still happen, and it did. Also this happenes when the computer is off. I cannot take it to a store because the closest one to me is an hour away.

    Normally, a clicking sound would be an indication of a bad HD or if the Superdrive is trying to read a damage disc. Personally, since its a week-old computer, I'd take a one hour drive than taking the chance of the HD failing after the warranty expired. You can try calling Apple as well (1800APPL). You should still have FREE phone support.

  • My macbook pro is making a weird sound, please help?

    Hello,
    i have an early 2011 model, it was running soo fine until now.
    its making a weird sound, to describe, it sounds like a small *trrr* at normal state, and at high, intense states, (playing games..) it turns into a loud *trrrrrr*, but, if i hit it gently over the keyboard, it goes away, then comes back.
    please, i dont have an apple retail store in my country, i need help from here, help me.

    first thing to do is to buy a new hard drive and an external drive before it fails so you won't lose your files.
    once you've done that, put the new hard drive in the external drive and open disk utility.
    format/erase your new hard drive as MAC OS EXTENDED Journaled.
    After that has been done, open carbon copy (if you don't have it, you can download it for free).
    Once carbon copy is open, click on clone your hard drive.  Source drive is what you're using now and your target drive is your new hard drive.
    Once carbon copy is done, turn off your macbook, open the back of your macbook, take off the hard drive and install your new hard drive.
    After you've done all those, turn your macbook back on and you're back in business.

  • My sound always makes this funny like hissing sound is that because my screen is cracked?

    will some one plz help me find out wether its because my screen is cracked or weather its just the general ipod thats making the sound do a funny kinda hissing sound when i have the volume no matter if its my musicc or wot it does it
    some one please explain to me it would be a big help i dont fancy payin for screen fixin to fix ma sound and it been nothig to do with that.

    First of, are you playing this through a pair of earphones? If yes, your pair of earphones is probably busted already. Try playing with the plug and see if moving or positioning it would eliminate the hissing sound.
    It can also be a matter with the tracks you have especially if they are not original content as there could be ones with low quality which in turn gives some weird sound you hear on the background.

  • Hissing sound through HDMI

    Recently, I noticed a hissing noise when I connected my headphones through the audio out of my monitor. That monitor is connected via HDMI on the GPU. Even if I set the volume to zero, I can still hear it. But when I connect the earphone through the Front Panel Audio or the back on the board, no hissing noise is heard. I also tried this with my Inno3D GeForce GT 730 (HDMI) but it didn't have any hissing sound.. I suspect it was the GPU at fault. Any suggestion? I can still ask for a full product replacement.

    Apologies if I didn't have the time to read the rules and posting guides.

  • MBP started making a cracking sound

    My MacBook Pro 2010 started making a "crack" sound every 10 seconds or so... Like when you connect an audio device, it stops when the volume is off or when the speakers are being used.
    In my opinion something is failing on the motherboard, such as a solded connection which is weared out or something...
    If anyone has had this problem, please leave a comment ^^ Ill take my Mac to the Apple Store next Monday.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Please check if the External works fine ? if no this is not really a speaker issue. if yes, it could be faulty speaker or the loose cable etc...

    Please visit www.hp.com/in and select suport & drivers>Product support and Troubleshooting> type the the complete model of your PC such as dv6-6102tx dv6-3145tx etc... select your computer model (if listed), or select the CTO(such as dv6-6100 CTO) model(which works for whole series) now select the manuals. you have the list of manuals for your PC. download maintenance and service guide.
