    make sure to check all the screws near the hinges.... both on the laptop side and on the screen side.

    Justin. Its never the screws tho it can be if not assembled. The laptop is meant to creak after some use. Most laptops do unless they are bahemuths. Z70va creaking is "normal". Nothing you can do about it and i have tried. Especially of you try to pick it up by the corners. This doesnt mean the laptop is falling appart. Its just creaking. My m5n does it so do many others.
