Hi guys.
I’m having a problem. My HP 8460p is running Windows 10.
I just bought a drive bay (caddy) to install a second hdd inside, instead of the dvd drive.
After installation of the hard drive, I booted up the laptop and under “Computer” it is shown as a second “D” hard drive.
However, I noticed an overall slowing down of the system after installing it, even for tasks that run of the main C drive.
An a major problem is that if I put the computer to sleep, it actually doesn’t go to sleep, the screen turns off but I can tell by the sound of the fan and the leds, that the laptop is still on or doing something. Even though the screen is black.
out of this state, is is unable to “ wake” up or turn the screen back on. I have to force shutt down and start new again.
Secondly, while running the system, If i would to “restart” instead of sleep, it does the same, it doesn’t completely shut down, leds are on, screen is black, but nothing happens. Need to force shut off and start up again.
Does anyone have an idea what I did wrong? Or how to fix this?
I checked the BIOS and the boot order is “internal C” hard drive first.
After taking out the drive bay, the laptop speed is back up and sleep and restart does work.
Thank you!
