Probook 450 G1 HDD strange noise

Hello,
I've bought my probook 450 G1 less than a week ago and I've noticed that the HDD is producing annoying noise, similar to scrathing even when there is no extensive ative accessing of HDD from my side, and I believe an occasional clicking sound.
I am not sure, if this is normal for a 5 day old computer. 
This is the sound it produces (plus the light scrathing sound): http://picosong.com/Ctpv/
Any help would be highly appreciated!

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the Probook 450 G1 is a commercial product. You can do this at Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime:

  • Windows 7 Ultimate x64 BOOT Failure on HP ProBook 450 G1...

    Dear forum viewes and experts...
    I hope you can provide me with your insights on this problem i am having...
    I bought a new laptop HP ProBook 450 G1 (i5 4200M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB ATI Graphics card). The laptop comes with DOS free operating system.
    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate from ISO file on a USB stick, and then activated the Windows.
    After updating all drivers and having a clean device manager with no hardware left as unknown, i figured out that the laptop fails to make a cold BOOT.
    After several trials, and installations. the problem remained the same. I changed the installation to Windows 8.1 Pro and the problem remained the same.
    On cold booting, the laptop after showing HP logo in start-up starts to show Windows Logo animation but in Super Slow Motion for about 6-8 minutes, then followed by strange sounds which force me to shut it down by pressing power button for long until it shuts down.
    After huge number of trail and error, i found out that if I entered BIOS Setup (by pressing esc then F10) and then exiting it without doing any changes or even without saving, the Laptop boots Windows 7 very smoothly (in about 15-18 seconds) and works fine. it also can make endless number of smooth restarts without any problem.
    If it is shut down then turned on, the boot failure is the outcome.
    The only way to make a successful cold BOOT (i.e after a shut down) is to enter BIOS setup mode (by pressing esc then F10), then exiting it within seconds without changing anything or saving, then it boots smoothly.
    I tried MBR fixes through command prompt in Recovery Mode, I tried to change booting to make it boot as LEGACY or UEFI Hybrid. The BIOS is updated to the latest frimware on HP website verion 1.2 dated 15 July 2014.
    NO HELP.....All lead to the same disappointing result.
    Any idea whether this is a hardware issue/software issue/BIOS issue?
    Your insights will be highly appreciated

    If anyone know how to resolve this issue.
    Help will be appreciated.

    You're very welcome.
    Sometimes strange things happen.
    The error messages don't always match up with the real problem.
    It sounds like Windows can't find the drive and when it can't find the drive that normally means the applicable sata driver needs to be installed.

    Just installed on a HP ProBook 450 G0 laptop and the menu, tab etc. dont work, although I do get a www site when I type it in. It's very strange, almost like the left click doesnt work on the scratchpad (although it's not that as using keystrokes also fails). OS is Windows7 Pro 64. Tested both Chrome and IE and they work fine.

  • Probook 450 GPU temp

    Hi, I recently bought a Probook 450 G2 with an AMD Radeon R5 M255 GPU and there's something strange about it. Whenever I open Speccy or GPU-Z, the temperature of the GPU is displayed as 511 degrees Celsius doing absolutely nothing. That's pretty much impossible without bursting into flames, but what can be the cause of this problem? I have already re-installed the drivers, making sure that I had the newest drivers. I even re-installed Windows. Nothing works. Help! AWeijs

  • Satellite C855 - strange noise when tried to watch/listen something

    I bought this laptop around a month ago. When I first tried to watch or listen something, sizzling kinda noise came up for a few seconds and gone.
    I didn't think that it was important. But now, it happens everyday and lots of times when I listen or watch something. It buzzes, sizzles for a few seconds and it is really annoying.
    What could the problem be?
    Please help me...

    Are you sure the buzz and sizzle come from the speakers / headphones?
    Maybe the strange noise comes from HDD?
    In this case it would be an HDD malfunction.
    It could be also possible that this strange noise appears because of stressed CPU.
    In such case the applications (player) hangs / freezes for a second and creates some strange noises.
    Would be interesting to know if system restore / system recovery would fix it

  • X200 strange noise

    hi,
    i got my x200 last month. it's been running smoothly except that it keeps making some annoying noise. i'm not sure if the problem is specific to x200 or to the operating system (i'm using xp professional).
    here is the problem: the computer makes some strange noise every 2-3 minutes. it's like the clicking sound you hear when you open a webpage in the internet explorer. the strange thing is: even if i mute the speaker, i can still hear it. i have no idea where the sound comes from.
    anyone has a suggestion to fix the problem?
    thanks.

    If you think it is the HDD, have you looked for any firmware updates?

  • Satellite C855-12Z - strange noise even if the cooler is off

    Hello again,
    I have a toshiba sattelite c855 12z, and i hear a strange noise even when toshiba pc health monitor shows that the cooler is off, it's like an air blowing inside the laptop , does it have 2 coolers? or can it be the hard disk? when i bought the laptop was very quiet, now i always hear this sound..
    Help please

    > Ok then, but the noise its not a vibration, or something grindig, it's just like a cooler, maybe gpu amd radeon 7610M has a cooler too?
    Im not sure about that but from my knowledge some gaming / multimedia notebooks like Qosmio supported two cooling modules (CPU and GPU).
    Dont think the same is available for C855 series so I assume its HDD or CPU cooling vent.

  • MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ?

    MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ? What will be the problem? When I disabled it there is no sound. BUt when I enabled it there is a strange noise while moving my mouse cursor or when there is some CPU activity, sounds like a squeeking or scratching, a bit like hdd activity, but barely noticeable. It looks like it's coming from the area around the cpu socket, must be something on the motherboard. is there a solution other than just disabling it? I want to be able to make C1E enable but cant bare this noise so I have to turn it of....

    Sound like some electrical sound produced by current going through that area.
    Try contacting MSI support for more help.

  • Strange noise on start-up followed by no entry sign

    My Macbook Pro (pre black keyboard) started making a strange noise on start up - a very loud grating noise.
    Now I get a 'no entry' sign on start up. I cannot progress any further than this sign.
    Any ideas on a fix, please?
    Thank you.

    Karl:
    Sounds like you are due for a HDD replacement. Try booting from the install disk, launch Disk Utility in the Utilities menu and see if the HDD appears in the sidebar. You can also boot from the Apple Hardware Test and run the extended test. However, from your description it sounds very much like the HDD. Hopefully you have an up to date backup.
    Please post back with an update or further questions/comments. Also include detail or your computer (processor speed, RAM, etc.) in your profile and/or response.

  • Strange Noise from MSI GTX 770 Gaming

    I recently bought a MSI GTX 770 Gaming and it makes a strange noise. It doesn't sound like coil whine to me, more of a clicking. I also don't think its the fans as it makes the exact same noise regardless of fan speeds. However, it does seem directly related to load, the higher the clock speed the louder it gets.
    See the below video for the noise, if you listen carefully you can hear towards the end where it transitions from high load -> low load -> high light again.
    Should I be concerned?

    Board:        Asus P6T Deluxe v2
    VGA:           MSI GTX 770 Gaming
    PSU:           Corsair HX750 +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@62A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
    Processor:  Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0
    MEM:          Corsair Dominator 1600 3x2gb
    HDD:          Samsung Pro 256gb SSD
    COOLER:   Corsair H80i
    OS:            Windows 7 64bit Professional
    It is definitely not the fans. The noise is irrelevant to fan speed. Also, did you copy the youtube link? I've heard coil whine and this does not sound the same. It's strange and seems to be coming from the PCB.

  • My HP Probook 450 G0 fingerprint reader is not working WIndows 7

    Hello,
    I am trying to enable my HP Probook 450 G0 fingerprint reader.... I tried many driver version of validity sensor... and finally i have currently installed the driver and software that are mentioned in following link....
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/DV4-1240br-FingerPrint-Driver-f...
     Both are them working fine (**without any error) But DigitalPersona is showing me the following message on welcome screen.... "The FingerPrint reader is not connected.Connect the reader"....
    OS : Windows 7 Professional
    What do you say.....is there any compatibiltiy issue or any hardware issue....or if there any driver mismatch, can someone suggest me the supported driver version....
    Thanks in Advance

    I have the same problem as the original poster, and followed the download link you provided only to encounter the exact same issue.  I am using Windows 7 and bought this machine two days ago.  I don't understand why this singular process is this problematic.  I really miss my ASUS K53E and it's face logon feature.  
    Perhaps HP should take lessons unless they have something better than this "fingerprint reader."  The only consistent feature I am detecting is its inconsistancy.  Oh well, I just won't bother using it, or put a sticker over the thing.
    If I have to spend more than an hour troubleshooting a feature of medium to low importance then it was a mistake to purchase the machine (but it was a gift sadly), and it was a mistake to implement the feature and release it without making sure it works.  Pretty weak HP, but not as bad as Toshiba or Gateway/Acer at least--not that it says much.
    Anyone have a legit fix for this annoying issue?  Or some third party facial recognition login program instead?
