Hi guys,
Worst possible timing for this.
I'm flying out of the UK for 6months on Monday for a ski season and just this afternoon my laptop seems to have gone "weird" and got some kind of issue.
I've been steadily downloading my favourite tv series and movies onto an external hard drive over the last week as that was recommended as wifi is too poor to stream out in staff accomodation.
No issues all week. Not been doing anything out of the ordinary; just downloading, web browsing and some streaming of twitch.
Then this afternoon i come back to my room to check on my downloads and theyve completed fine. But i seem to have lost sound? Windows keeps losing sight of the built in speakers. I reactivate them but then windows loses them again. (Gets an error saying Windows Audio Service is disabled - reenable it then it goes off again by itself shortly after..)
In addition the whole thing has just slowed. I can still open web pages but youtube videos and streams wont start. I cant open videos ive downloaded both on the laptop or from the external hdd.
Any advice because this just seemed to happen randomly and I am really screwed if I have a busted laptop now 2 days before I leave the country!
Its an Asus Notebook UX330U (Windows 10).
Any advice or help is really welcomed, starting to panic a bit!!
