Troubleshooting

Device fails to power on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the battery is completely drained, allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on.

Slow performance or application crashes

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-heavy processes. Ensure your operating system and drivers are up to date. For graphics-intensive issues, verify that the NVIDIA discrete GPU is being utilized by the application.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity issues

Restart your laptop and your Wi-Fi router. Ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled in Windows settings. Check for updated WLAN and Bluetooth drivers from the HP support website. Test connectivity on a different network if possible.

Display shows artifacts or incorrect colors

Update your graphics drivers (both Intel Arc and NVIDIA RTX) from HP's support website. Check the display settings in Windows and ensure the correct resolution and refresh rate are selected. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem.

Overheating during demanding tasks

Ensure the laptop's vents are clear and not obstructed. Use the laptop on a hard, flat surface to allow for better airflow. Consider reducing the workload or closing background applications. If overheating is persistent, contact HP support.
