Powered the computer off and it remained off overnight. Powered up about an hour ago, opened Edge and checked a few forums. Closed Edge and hit restart. Once again it froze only this time sooner than all the other times when fast startup was enabled. Though I have no evidence or knowledge to support my findings, I believe it may be related to the audio side of this laptop based on;
During restart, the wifi lamp turns off then quickly reilluminates. At the same time the lamp indicating the sound is disabled also turns off. After the wifi lamp illuminates, the sound lamp does not illuminate and I then know the laptop is frozen (along with the dots rotating stop rotating). When I use the power button for off/on, the two lamps illuminate sequentially and I know the notebook is going to start.
