problems with Bluetooth

I have this laptop, it was at first windows 8.1, sadly i hate windows 8's products and downgraded, after a year i switch over to window 10, due to compatablility  being much more smoother in windows 10. I am very new to windows 10, and thus i found Bluetooth, from there i try using however my laptop dont detected it, i did my research, and found that my laptop doesnt have the driver, i went to window's customer support and had no luck, we downloaded windows 8.1 version of the bluetooth (aka recommended from the HP websit, aka dumbass custumer support i have seen so far), in the end, my laptop wouldnt allow the bluetooth from 8.1, instead i need a windows 10 bluetooth, HOWEVER, due to the system never encounter a pilveon 17 notebook for the windows 10, i was unable to find a bluetooth driver for my laptop.

My Question is, is there a way to download a type of "defualt" bluetooth for my PC, i try alot of methods, even looking it up from websites to websites, i need some assistance on finding a bluetooth that compatatible with windows 10

Constant Crashing and Driver Issues

$
0
0

My laptop has been crashing randomly since the day I got it (about 2 months ago).  It will randomly go to Blue Screen, not load past 0%, and then cut to a black and white UEFI Interaction interface, at which nothing changes. I then have to hard-restart my laptop and everything goes smoothly. This has happened about once a day, sometimes more than that. The following is a log of everything I have tried with my laptop, all the error codes I have experienced, and anything else important to add to it. I really don't know what else to do, and think I just have to return it now.

UPDATE (7/28/18): updated all drivers - still crashes

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/4/18): ran an sfc/scannow. Results:

UPDATE (8/4/18): ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool (restarted the laptop) - no issues were found.
This could mean the MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error was a fluke due to something else.
Also did a clean startup (disabled all apps that startup with the laptop).

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/6/18): crashed again "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" in the middle of running Steam

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/8/18): crashed again "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" in the middle of YouTube

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/9/18): crashed again "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED", but this time 1) it happened immediately when I
opened my laptop, and 2) instead of sticking at 0% and going to the UEFI, it went to 100% and then booted
up normally.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/13/18): crashed a few times with "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION". I attempted to fix the problem once again:
I booted in Safe Mode, uninstalled the "bad drivers" (the ones with yellow warning signs in the Device Manager), and
tried to install better drivers from HP:
(https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-gaming-15-cx0000-laptop-pc/20284020/model/21869678?sku=3BS42AV)
The "bad drivers" included:
- Monitors:
   >Generic PnP Monitor
- Network adaptors:
   >Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560
- Software devices:
   >Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth
- Sound, video and game controllers:
   >Intel(R) Display Audio
   >Microsoft Streaming Clock Proxy
   >Microsoft Streaming Quality Manager Proxy
   >Microsoft Streaming Service Proxy
   >Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter
   >Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter
   >Realtek High Definition Audio
(It is important to note that the "Microsoft Streaming" driver issues appeared after I uninstalled the "Intel(R) Display Audio" and "Realtek High Definition Audio" drivers and then scanned for any hardware changes). I am not 100% sure this fixed the problem, but I believe that my problem does have something to do with the drivers
(since there were so many warning signs in the Device Manager).

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/14/18): crashed again "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" in the middle of YouTube. It is important to note that I don't think I've ever experienced this in the middle of playing a video game; just when I am using Chrome or doing nothing.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/14/18): crashed again "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION" during Fallout 4.

 

 

 

Update (8/15/18): had a Windows Update today. Maybe that fixed the problem.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/16/18): crashed again "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION".

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/19/18): crashed again twice "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION" and "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED", both times in the middle of YouTube.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/20/18): I have factory resetted my laptop. Hopefully this has fixed the problem. If not, then I will look into the driver situation. Also, I must note that, for some reason, the Windows Settings app crashes anytime I look into Sound Settings.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/20/18): crashed again while I was away; did not catch the error code. I was able to get into the Windows Sound Settings this time, and I troubleshooted the speakers, which resulted in me restarting my laptop. I also downloaded an audio driver from the HP website. With it, I attempted to update every audio-related driver in my Device Manager. Everything was already up-to-date, but there was no update option for "Realtek High Definition Audio" under "Sound, video and game controllers". So I selected "Scan for hardware changes" instead, at which my computer restarted. I now have the option to update/disable/uninstall the driver on that device, which was something I  couldn't do earlier. This means that I have successfully had an impact on the audio drivers, which I believe was a key component in these crashes. This is promising.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/21/18): crashed again "KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR // What failed: UsbHub3.sys" during YouTube. It is important to note that this is the first time I've ever recieved this kind of crash. Also, when I booted my laptop back up, YouTube would not load a video (regardless of internet conection). I then restarted my laptop, at which it began playing the YouTube video it was originally playing before I even got past the lock screen. Now everything is running fine. I also performed another sfc/scannow:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Also, I must note that, when going into Safe Mode, my Device Manager still shows warning signs on the following drivers:
- Monitors:
   >Generic PnP Monitor
- Network adaptors:
   >Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560
- Software devices:
   >Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth
- Sound, video and game controllers:
   >Intel(R) Display Audio
   >Microsoft Streaming Clock Proxy
   >Microsoft Streaming Quality Manager Proxy
   >Microsoft Streaming Service Proxy
   >Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter
   >Microsoft Streaming Tee/Sink-to-Sink Converter
   >Realtek High Definition Audio
I went on a mass driver-update spree, with a bunch of drivers from HP.com. I then restarted my laptop in Safe Mode again, and played with the drivers, with nothing different happening. I then went to the Windows Sound Settings and Troubleshooted the audio (while still in Safe Mode). It said that the drivers for "Intel(R) Display Audio" and "Realtek High Definition Audio" were missing, and that the problem will be fixed after restarting my laptop (which I did).

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/22/18): crashed again "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION" during YouTube. I am now going through the entire driver list on the HP website and downloading and installing everything on that list. (It is important to note that my last "mass driver-update spree, Google got confused and failed to download everything on the list. I am now making sure that everything on that list is downloaded  and installed.) If this doesn't work, then I think my solution lies beyond HP.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/22/18): I restarted my laptop into Safe Mode again, and all of the "bad drivers" were still showing warning signs. I must note
a few things I found while in Safe Mode:
1) Windows Settings kept closing out on the following:
   - System > Focus Assist
   - Network & Internet > Data Usage
   - Personalization > Themes
   - Privacy > App permissions > ~almost everything~
2) Troubleshooting the Audio again told me that:
   - Intel(R) Display Audio had a driver problem (unfixed)
   - Realtek High Definition Audio has a driver problem (unfixed)
3) Also, regardless of Safe Mode or not, the NVIDIA Settings say "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" when I try and run it.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/22/18): I downloaded a GeForce Game Ready Driver from the NVIDIA GeForce Experience app in the Hidden Icons Tray. It came with two other drivers (one being an HD Audio Driver, the other I cannot remember). Since I know Audio is a big issue in my laptop, this could be helpful.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/23/18): crashed again "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION" during Civilization V.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/24/28): crashed again "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION" during YouTube last night before I went to bed. Instead of turning it back on, I kept it off and went to sleep. When I woke up and turned it on, however, it showed me a new startup menu before going to the lock screen. Also, my laptop has been having issues starting up now, where the task bar and start menu take a long while to load up properly.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/24/18): crashed again "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIES" during startup. Throughout this morning, my laptop has been starting up very slowly, and has been having issues with the Taskbar and Start Menu with every startup. Steam has also been having issues lately. I went to Intel and looked to download some of their drivers:
(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html)
I downloaded the following drivers:
   - Intel Wireless Bluetooth
   - Intel Wireless-AC 9560 #2 (previously mentioned in Safe Mode bootup)
The website said nothing about the Intel(R) Display Audio driver or the Realtek High Definition Audio, however. And restarting in Safe Mode still shows warning signs on all of the previously-mentiones drivers.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/24/18): I followed the instructions off of the following website:
https://www.custompcguide.net/windows-suddenly-does-not-recognize-monitor-stuck-on-generic-non-pnp-driver-at-low-resolution/
I used "Method 2" and when asked for a Standard Monitor Type, I chose "Digital Flat Panel 1920 x 1080 60Hz". I then went back to Safe Mode, only to find that now a new driver has a warning symbol on it:
- Monitors:
   >Generic PnP Monitor
- Network adaptors:
   >Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560
- Software devices:
   >Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth
- Sound, video and game controllers:
   >Intel(R) Display Audio
   >NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM) ***NEW***
   >Realtek High Definition Audio
(It is important to note that the Microsoft Streaming Drivers only appear when I uninstall the Intel(R) Display Audio and Realtek High Definition Audio drivers and then Scan for hardware changes.) Also, I must note that my laptop has been running at normal speeds during  startup now.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/26/18): crashed again, did not see the error code. I then did a Performance Tune-Up Check through the HP Support Assistance app. I also selected a System File Checker with it. I also performed an Operating System Diagnostics, which reported that there were no issues, which leaves me to believe that Windows 10 has nothing to do with the crashing.

 

 

 

UPDATE (8/26/18): crashed again, did not catch the error code.

Fan noise notebook HP Envy x360

Hi, I have this notebook since April 2018:  HP ENVY x360 15-bp104nl (i5-8250U, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, 15,6" FHD IPS Touchscreen).

 

It has always worked well, I have never had any particular problems, but since 2 weeks the fan makes a strange noise.
It is not the normal fan noise when it is activated, it is a sort of very annoying vibration and noise.
I opened the laptop, thinking about the dust but everything seems in order, I have updated Windows, I scanned with anti-virus and to search for malware but there is nothing.


How can I solve? The fan is too annoying.

Thank you
