I mentioned in a past post that I snagged an HP ENVY and upgraded it It is now beyond the HP 90-day factory refurbished warranty and I have pushed myself to use it daily as a way to diagnose the frequency of the hardware issues.
These intermittent hardware issues have come up over the last two months and could be related to the upgrades.
Freeze or blue screen followed by an inability to boot
Freeze or blue screen followed by an inability to power on
Always passes a quick system test and full memory test
Blue screens either a fault in an ATI driver or a page fault in non paged area
A device disconnected notification from Windows when waking up from suspend.
One issue I suspect is unrelated to a hardware issue is a complete disregard of a fastest setting of the keyboard repeat rate when waking from suspend. A reboot always fixes the issue, but I also found that adjusting the Repeat Delay to full left Long, Apply, then full right Short and Apply fixes the issue without a reboot
