Hi guys, I'm new here. I recently bought an N53SN last week and I'm facing some weird problems. Here are some of the problems:

1) Relatively slow startup time.
2) Takes a very long time to hibernate.(around 1minute)
3) After waking up from hibernation, it becomes really slow and after using it for a while the whole windows explorer hangs.. (This has been happening almost every single time)
4)  Laptop freezes when I open the task manager and "NOT RESPONDING" appears..
5) Windows explorer hangs even when just surfing the net. (Had to force shut down many times).

I'm sorry if some of the solutions to the problems above may have been mentioned before in this thread as I didn't go through the 99 pages of thread. I hope some of the experienced users out there can help to give me some advice on this matter.=) Thank you in advance.

if u load wmplayer or itunes and ur dvd drive makes sound then good as
if ur comp hangs, juz pop the dvd drive open and the hang shud dissapear reletively fast.

its very unusual that most of us here have this problem due to the hard disk? is there a common program that n53sn users are using?

im wdigital user, hibernation works.. i think set the hibernation quota higher.. cuz mine never fail. in fact lsee than 1 min hibernate.. juz startup into desktop bit slow..

dun really think of selling it yet cause im still satisfied with it.
Somehow all these lag/hang seems kinda rare now and i do hibernate alot, at least 3 times a day (hibernate & wake up = 1)
Keyboard flex does not bother me at all
Design....ohh i love it so much specially when the lid is close and the middle (between the lid and surface) by looking at it...the feeling is indescribable laugh.gif . I just love the design and i would say the design is better than the HP DV6
Speakers.... doh.gif obvious distortion when max and bass not deep enough......anyway lucky i got a 2.1 Ext Speaker. If not i sure regret d. One thing though, im really curious how good is the HP DV6 speakers......i just have to hear it with my own ears hmm.gif
Battery life.....dam thumbup.gif can hit 5hr 15min with Playing music from 100% - 8%. Volume 70% btw. If with Wifi + Web browsing and on music now and then...i got around 5hrs
