New dv6 7014nr runs too loud doing nothing

I recently purchased a dv6 7014nr a few days ago and have barely done anything on it. However, the fan noise is out of control. I've turned off hp coolsense but there is little difference. I don't even feel any air coming out of the vent on the side, but the computer just runs increadibly loud. The laptop doesn't overheat or anything it's just outrageously loud. 
I really like the machine aside from this point and i want to do everything i can to try and fix this so i don't have to use something else.
I heard about "updating bios" and turning the feature "fan always on" off. I do, however, game quite a bit on this laptop and am worried about messing up the computer that way.This noise is just intolerable though. It's fine when i'm gaming, i understand that is using a lot of resources. But when the computer is so loud when i'm doing barely anything is what is driving me crazy
is there anything i can do? I've done research ont he internet and all i have found is that it's a design flaw with hp laptops which i hope i may be able to do something about because i don't want to have to returnthis machine. 
Thanks 

See if you can go into a store that displays this machine and see if it is as loud as yours.  What worries me is that you can not feel and air flow. Can you see the fan blades with the aid of a flashlight and see if anything is blocking the flow of air like some plastic tape of packaging material. Does the sound make a noise like it is scraping metal fins or rubbing up against anything or just a normal loud fan? Do you monitor the temperature of your laptop? Do you use a notebook cooling pad? You really have to be able to feel the hot air coming out of the fan discharge area.

  • Mac fan running too loud after update

    I have a Macbook pro 13".  (mid 2012)
    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Storage: 500 gb
    After updating to Yosemite 10.10, my macbook pro's fan is running too loud and producing a lot of heat. I reseted the SMC several times but it didn't help. Surprisingly, The fan also runs loud even if only 1 application is open.
    Please advice me what should I do.
    Thank you in advance!

    I have the same model and I've had the same problem for a few days. I didn't really have problems with heat, but my fan was going crazy even though I was just browsing the Internet. Maybe you're logged into iCloud and have some activity going on. What worked for me was going to:
    1. System Preferences
    2 iCloud
    3. Uncheck things like "Keychain", "Find my Mac", etc. (things you don't need/use)
    For me, I unchecked everything and logged out of iCloud. After several minutes, my fan is super quiet and not acting up! Hope this helps.

  • Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

    I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
    When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
    On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
    How can I fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • New hard drive running much louder than my orig. HD

    Hi there,
    I bought a Seagate Momentus XT hard drive and installed it in my MacBook Pro. It is running considerably louder than the stock HD in my Mac. Is this normal for this particular drive? Can I do anything about it? Its a hybrid drive, could that have something to do with it?
    Brandon

    You have a 13" so it only shows the single 'Exhaust' - running right at 2000rpm, which is normal. Your temps are also normal. So I would rule out the fan noise as a possibility. It could be as mende1 says - that Seagate drives are just 'noisier'... I have 4 external drives that are all Seagate and never here them (but they're in enclosures... both Thunderbolt and FireWire 800 connections).
    I think that you'll be fine - just don't let any 'chirping' go unheeded.

  • New batt, why much hotter when doing nothing

    My machine (MacBook Pro) has been acting a little screwy since getting my battery replaced.
    The odd thing is that it's getting hot now when it's just been sitting there, propped on its side, doing nothing but charging. In the past, in this situation, it would be cool to tepid. It's not the battery that's hot, but the general bottom of the machine, nearer to the screen hinge.
    Another odd change is that when I start Parallels, it gives me a message that it can't boot the CD/DVD drive. I have no idea of there's any connection between the two issues.
    Any ideas?

    A hot battery while charging is perfectly normal. There are two things to cause a battery to be at its hottest…
    1) Maximum discharging
    2) Maximum charging

  • New superdrive (repair) runs quite loud while watching a DVD

    Hello,
    I have a new superdrive (HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N) in my MacBook Pro...
    Before, I could watch a DVD and the drive was so quiet, that it nearly was not to be heard...
    Now, the new superdrive runs with such a speed, that I can hear it in quiet locations of the film, thats ennoying...
    Any idea, what can be done?

    Hi nik312, welcome to the forums!
    If it's a Flash video, what version of Flash do you have installed? 10.1 is a lot faster than v9. But since it also happens in Chess, it could be an issue with OpenGL. Since you've tried the Erase and Install already, I'd try zapping the PRAM by following the instructions here:

    If that doesn't resolve your problem, I think it might a fault with your graphics card, and you might need another logic board replacement.

  • HT201371 I have a brand new 5S running ios 7.04. There's no "Edit" button on the screen, no apparent way to delete a non-working scan and the scan part does nothing. ios bug or ???

    I have a brand new iPhone 5S running ios 7.04. I can't get the "Touch ID" to work and I'm convinced it's a software issue. I read Apple's post on the subject (iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID) and the screens they show in the article are NOT what I have on my phone. Mine has no "Edit" button and there appears to be no way to delete a failed scan. The rest of the OS seems to be okay - I've no idea what to do.

    I'm not sure why you are not seeing the Edit button. I have it on mine. However, you should be able to delete the finger by swiping it from right to left and a red delete button should appear.

    You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
    And which version of Windows do you have?
    NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
    You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
    You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
    If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
    Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
    IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
    Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there.

  • Clicking on M/S' RUN and/or SAVE does nothing - just sits there

    Have had this problem for a few days. In trying to open again, it always tells me Firefox is still running and to close it first. There is no Firefox running! Have uninstalled FF and in trying to install a new one, I get as far as the Run/Save; clicking on either one does nothing, it just sits there. Thanks for your help. PS - I've been using FF for ages - first time I've had this problem. PPS = tried to cut/paste browser url but went to open a file.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Aperture runs but does nothing when importing, updating vault, emptying trash

    I'm new to Aperture but experienced with similar applications (I've made the move from PC to Mac). I downloaded the latest version 3.2.2 on to my new 27" iMac, 2.7Ghz, Lion, 4Gbyte RAM, terabyte HD etc (standard config). I very much like Aperture, apart from its regular crashes/doing nothing episodes. I have experienced troubles in three areas:
    - See screenshot below. Aperture appears to do nothing while taking up all system resources while importing 2k files. The log says nothing has been imported but the entire Mac slows down. Other folders with more files are OK others not. It al appears a bit random. I am importing from folders copied to the local HD, using the option 'folders/project'. My photo library is 16k images (all jpg) stored in regular folders.
    - when deleting many files in Aperture trash, the same spinning wheel as importing again with nothing happening.
    - when updating the vault, same as above 2, spinning wheel nothing else.
    In all three cases Aperture seems still to be running, but I always have to finally force quit. Upon re-boot, all seems to work until the next issue is found!
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Hello Gary,
    That is not much to go on. Try to narrow down the problem by a few simple tests:
    to find out, if your library is corrupted in some way, start aperture with a new, empty library
    File -> Switch to library -> other/new
    and see, if Aperture is running without problems on a different library.
    If that should be the case, try to repair your library.
    If Aperture does not run from a different library, try to launch it from a different account. If that succeeds, thrash your Preference,
    If all fails, reinstall Aperture.
    The trouble shooting measures are described here:

    Good luck

  • I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

    I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

    Please let me know how things are going.
    Cheers!
