Loud noise when the system boots up. I have to hit <enter> after POST to go to Boot.
Few Keys on the laptop are dead and I think this might cause the problem. when I try to type anything in the web address only letter '999....' comes up, even though that key is dead on the keyboard. I have re installed Win 7 ultimate. But its more of a Hardware problem I think. Flashed BIOS about a year ago. Has that started causing problems! Just cannot work!
