    Hello guys,

    I've had a few issues with this spectacular (expensive as hell) laptop. I use the ctrl,tab,shift + 1-0 or 1/4th of keyboard. I'm wondering if there is some hotkey with the sound? Sometimes when I am using the buttons (Visual Studio, Some games) it will almost be like I've turned of the sound volume. All of sudden its louder and then it kind of returns back to the lower sound. It has me really confuse and I can't confirm the hotkey button specifically. I keep my sound typically at 25-40 and it sounds like 70+.

    My other problem is the trouble with closing the lid before going to bed. When I open the lid to get on the computer often the computer becomes a bit buggy (may be the wrong word). The ram seems like its very low, sometimes the sound completely is mute. I'll see the CPU % rather high sometimes, nothing taking up a huge amount. Even sometimes the internet completely shuts off. I simple restart fixes all the issues

    I've ran malawarebytes, super anti virus, cleaner, norton. And nothing is found to be concerned about. It may have to do with my power settings since I changed them because when my computer went into sleep I couldn't get the monitor to turn back on. I typically always have my laptop plugged in (I'm not sure if this is bad and causes draining of the battery).

    Thanks guy, have a great weekend!

    Power Settings:
    (High Performance)
    On Battery: Turn off after 5 minutes,
    Sleep(10 minutes),
    Pressing Power(shut down),
    Sleep(hibernate),
    Shut Lid (shutdown)

    Plugged in: Turn off never. Sleep(4 hours),
    Pressing Power(shut down),
    Sleep(sleep/turn off display),
    Shut Lid (hibernate 'since sleep won't put my monitor on)

    Sleep / s3 or hibernate and Resume has been buggy even on desktops. You can expect laptops to fare even worse.
    There is a new Bios update which seems to address the wifi adapter vanishing when resuming from standby. Other stuff I can't help with.

    That is very unfortunate to hear. And kind of unacceptable. But thanks for the input. I'll check for some updates.
