    Some weird things happen every once in awhile when i start up my m15x and i just wanted to see if it was normal

    1. sometimes when i start my laptop then fan will keep on blowing instead of blowing for a few seconds then stopping.

    2. after i put in my password it takes forever to get 2 my desktop and the screen turns light blue and then shows my wallpaper.

    This:

    Happends to me just once.
    I unplug the computer from the AC, remove the battery... And then everything went back to normal.
