Computer freezes...but not in the normal manner

I have a HP Compaq nx6110 that is about three years old. It has been working fine until recently, it started freezing. But not in the sense normal sense: that is program failure or something which would make the computer work to hard and the fan would run really hard...you know that kind of stuff. Mine however doesn't show any of those symptoms. Basically it will randomly free and all programs will stop working, the performance light will not blink or anything. But if press really hard on the left side of the touch pad and hold it it works fine.

The intel chip that is under the touch pad is the culprit. If you open the laptop by removing the keyboard, you will notice the chip just under the cover. i have tried putting pressure on it with an eraser and got some results. Mackay Rigava

Compaq nx6110 no clock setting in bios

Compaq nx6110 no clock I presume you meant.
the DATE IS WRONG
and if changed in BIOS to correct as all can do.
it will not safe
that means the RTC CMOS coin cell battery is now dead as most are at 7 year old.
the cure is replace with a new one, spend a buck.

RTC is chip called REAL time CLOCK, just like a wrist watch in fact.
and like that watch dies with the battery dead.
a 2005 PC, so is 10 years old in 2015
and is the high water mark on super good life span.
means DUE NOW.

I have a HP Compaq model NX 6110 laptop,which was working well until last week when it started to freeze but when you press on it especially above the touch pad it works,that trend continued until last...

That sounds like you have a bad connection in that vacinity.
Removing the case and resetting the contacts may fix it but it could be a crack on the motherboard.
Good luck.

My HP compaq nx6110 windows xp sp3 hangs at boot

Take a look at this post that deals with a HP nx6110 laptop with random freeze ups. If the described symptoms also happen on your laptop. If you do experience random freezeups or slow DVD you're facing the same FSB chip problem. All peripherals, USB ports included, are connected on the Front Side Bus. Poor soldering causes intermittent contact which in turn results in hanging, slow, or totally non bootable (stuck at HP logo) laptop. Hope this helps.

Hp 6220's freeze up until a little pressure is applied..

Is your hard drive installed properly? It may be that the connection pins are not making good contact.

Remove the hard drive and reinstall it. It may solve the problem.

It might possibly be the motherboard circuitry, however, if it were I would imagine that the computer would show an error message on boot-up during POST.

Were the computers dropped or somehow bumped hard?

Battery

The battery on this model tends to last between 2 to 4 hrs dependant on use. Does yours only work uoto about 2 hrs or does it sometimes last longer? If the battery is more tham 5 years old it MAY be worth changing.
