Component over Heating issue

i have recently upgraded my HP laptop to Windows 10 since then, one part of my laptop has been getting VERY hot. it is located on the right hand side of the underside of the laptop (next to the CMOS battery). it also has a ventilation grill over it (see image. the red arrow is pointing to the CMOS battery. then next to it there is a small ventilation grill. I want to know what component lays underneath this grill as this is what is overheating thanks

Its been a day since I posted this, can any expert please share their view on this? Its urgent pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssseeee

  • Ipad over heating issue

    I have had a search and replies to this question are about a year old. Has Apple been able to resolve the heating issue with ipad or are they an inside only device?
    I would like one for work where I am an ecologist and require something to record data in the field, unfortunately here in Western Australia it gets pretty warm in summer.
    Has anyone had issues with recently manufactured ipad1 or ipad2 over heating in the sun?
    Has anyone found a way around this, chilled case?..
    Thanks
    Mark

    I just saw this case in the link below today. It's called an icePad. I don't think it will help for a full eight hours of work, but it might help for a few hours at a time maybe. Since the iPads cooling requirements are so much lower than a laptops you might even be pleasantly surprised.

    That particular case doesn't have any reviews, but the laptop cooling pad in the link below has some reviews and it is using the same technique.

  • 990fxa-gd80v2 over heat issue.

    Had this board for about one year, never over-clocked. Recently it started acting up (mouse/keyboard quit working etc) and has
    now gotten to where the system just shuts down...usually while gaming for about 45 minutes (BF4MP). I used speccy while running P95 and noted the system shuts down when the mother board temp hits 90c, also noted the mobo runs at over 80c while gaming.
    Is there any known issues with this board?  Appreciate any help.

    First issue noted was the mouse cursor began to "skip" across the screen and cursor graphics (icon) began to deteriorate (fuzzy). About the same time, the keyboard stopped working intermittently, I changed usb ports for both the kb/mouse and it cleared up the issue for a short time. The system began to "hang" if the mouse was moved quickly (screen freeze), sometimes it recovers other times a full restart is needed. Of late (3 days), the system just shuts down...usually after 45 minutes of BF4 multi-player. I set vcore voltage to 1.4 but other than that, have not done anything.

  • Battery draining/over heating issues - 925

    hi all,
    ive had this issue for a while now but havnt moaned about it until now but ive just had enough of this constant issue and want some help
    i have the lumia 925 and have the above simptons, i have the lumia amber update and have disabled every setting and background app the only thing i have enabled and running in the backround are -
    touch display is turned on (double tap to wake)
    on my home screen i have the apps -  Photos, Battery,  Bing news, The Weather Chanel, set as live tiles
    the backround apps i have running are -  Battery, Bing News, Facebook and whatsapp
    apart from that all other settings are disabled or off
    i can disable bing news if have to but i dont think this is the issue here as before i was having the exact problem
    one time i noticed a 30% decrease in battery, not to mention the battery got really hot in hand

    Hey Robert,
    If it's anything like my 920, sometimes it gets caught in a CRAZY battery drain cycle. Sometimes it may get hot, sometimes not, but I always make sure that my GPS is working correctly. A lot of times it's not, and I need to reset the phone by either turning it off or holding down the power and volume down buttons.
    Especially check any apps that you may have downloaded that may be using GPS. Also, if you do the power + volume down, always turn your phone off again the normal slide down way afterwards or your live tiles won't update correctly.

  • Video and Over heating issues

    I have 3 issues to ask about.
    o Overheating.-----My laptop gets SUPER hot when playing World of Warcraft. Hot enough that I can not touch the first row of keys on my keyboard, or any part near the video screen.
    o *Video display corruption.*
    -----While playing I get huge amounts of artifacts, and if I don't switch from windowed mode or to it when the artifacts show up, the video seems to degrade until it is un-viewable. (Artifacts to me are random triangles that appear between items in game.)
    o *Left and Right fans.*-----I have installed a program to help called smcFanControl, and it help a little but doesn't resolve anything. One weirdness with that too is it monitors the left and right fan speed in RPMs and it only registers a right fan speed. Is there a left fan too?

    There are indeed left and right fans. You can download a widget from the apple website called iStat Pro that will let you see left and right fan speeds, among other system status features. And yes, I've noticed I run a lot hotter now, perhaps because of the optimization to dual-core. I have smcfancontrol now, but other than setting a minimum fan speed, it doesn't seem very useful.
    What are you at? With it sitting on my desk, no ventilation issues, I have 66°C (28°C ambient) with the fans at 3700 RPM
    Edit: If you put the menu bar option on, it will show you left and right fan speeds when you click on the menu

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • Speaking to Customer Relations about heat issue?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to speak to a customer relations person regarding my MBP that was sent in for heat issues. Specifically, I would like to ensure they actually test it and don't just turn it on, check their email for 5 minutes, then proclaim it's "no trouble found".
    I heard the W87xxxxx MBPs aren't running overly hot. If possible, I'd like them to replace whatever component is in mine that is fixed in the W87, or send me a replacement W87. I know, fat chance, right?
    I simply want to avoid getting the same unit back without any changes or the same unit back with supposed "fixes", but with the same heat issues. I asked the genius last night what I could do if that happens and he mentioned speaking to customer relations. Does anyone have that direct # or think I might get anywhere calling them while my repair is pending?
    Thanks in advance!

    If this is the first time you have sent it in, make SURE you document it well. Be very clear about exactly what they have to do - in step by step fashion - to reproduce the problem.
    If, for example, it requires the machine to be on for a few moments with no other software running, make sure it auto-logs in to a guest account with that setup, and that it does it right out of the box.
    You can call customer relations, but it is not clear whether they will listen if they have not tried to repair it already. If this is the second time it has been in, though, it is probably worth the effort.

  • Battery Purging and Over heating Phone!

    WHAT?!!  I have assumed that my LG Revolution spontaneously purging the entire battery charge at once then over heating and shutting down was a hardware issue!  Now I find that it is the result of yet ANOTHER OS SOFTWARE upgrade issue?!  OMG are you kidding me?!!  I have been PLAGUED with problems since I was forced to upgrade my android OS to 2.3.6 through Verizon!  I am ready to make ANY change I have to escape this plague!!  I PAY WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for android smart phones and premium service through a so called 'premium' provider to have to put up with economy freakin performance Verizon!!!
    I am especially disappointed in Verizon since I took the phone all the way to their coorporate store 5 months ago and all they did was scratch their heads!  They tried to sell me a new battery which also immediately commenced to over heat; so of course the next course of action was to try and sell me a NEW PHONE!
    I've been sitting here with a DEAD VERIZON phone all day AGAIN trying to rescucitate it!!  ****, that **!

    Thank you Verizon; you're right.  Buying a new phone is the fix!  I bought a brand new LG Spectrum at the Verrizon store yesterday and my old LG Revolution immediately began to work perfectly again. That was the fix.  Of course....
    You think this is messed up?  It just gets weirder.  Before going to bed last night I took my new LG Spectrum off a 4 hour charge because it was full.  It slept all night.  When I checked it in the morning it had one missed call and 6 emails; that's it.  The battery charge however was completely on EMPTY!  OMG!!??  What the....?  Yesterday I was rather puzzled by how exceptionally warm/hot it felt while on charge.  The charger plug also felt the same.  It's on charge right now using the supplied charger but I changed it to a different outlet.  It's still very warm/hot.  I'm befungled!!  I live in a 1/2 million $ condo packed with properly working electronics' so it's certainly not a source problem.
    More weirdness:  yesterday I was downloading and re-installing programs and updates to reload my new phone.  A couple of hours later it went on an all out download splurge all on it's own, one after another it was a stream of unwanted downloads I couldn't stop.  I turned off wi-fi, but eventually had to shut down the phone right in the middle of processes..... not a good.   (UPDATE:  solved this issue.  I discovered that all the bloatware pre-installed on the phone further imposes itself by ALSO being set to 'auto update' itself. Oh! cool!  and check this out: it won't let you uninstall any of that sh*t!  Cool huh?   Thanks LG or is it Verizon; I want to be sure to give due credit to whomever is responsible for that *** idea!)
    My new not-so smartphone phone, less than 24 hours old, is already fouled. 
    UPDATE:  5 hours later.  No phone call usage today.  Emails, texts, a few downloads, and some new phone setup configuring today.  Phone is dead after 5 hours of use.  Took old phone off 1 hour charge and of course it was as cool as a cucumber, plugged in new phone and it became hot within minutes.  I think that the solution is to just go back to using landlines....
    Attached below is a photo showing the EKG of the entire life of my NEW phone.  1 day and 7 hours.  Hmph?  And I am already in the forums.  Anyone know what the record is?

  • HP ENVY 17 - Heating issues

    Hello,
    Has anybody found a solution for the extreme heat generated by HP ENVY 17.  
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    I own an HP Envy 17, and I am highly dissatisfied with it.  This computer was purchased when I made the decision to go back to school.  I wanted a computer that would last me for at least four years.  I honestly thought that this was the computer.  I have always bought HP when it came to computers.  Not anymore though.  Since I have had this computer I have had to send it back twice for over heating.  The first time they replaced the thermal module.  I got the computer back and it worked okay for a little while.  Then it started to overheat again.  So I sent it back again.  When I got it back the second time they had to replace a speaker, the optical disc drive. and reseat the thermal module.  To me it was more than obvious that the over heating had caused some other issues within the computer.  The day that I got it back it over heated again!!!!  I called, and was told that it was my wireless mouse that was causing the issue.  I tried explaining to the person that my mouse had nothing to do with over heating.  This person also told me that when they had it the computer never over heated.  I find that kind of hard to believe since they have replaced so many parts, and had to re-seat one of the parts.  Through out this whole ordeal every person that I have talked to has told me that I needed to keep the computer on a flat surface.  So that is what I have done.  Yesterday I called HP yet again because my computer is over heating.  They told me that they would send me the package to send it in for repair.  I told the person that this was unacceptable, and asked to speak to a supervisor.  I wanted one of two things.  I either wanted a brand new machine, or I wanted my money back.  At this point I was told that he did not have a supervisor, and he would have a case manager call me back within 24-48 hours.  I received the phone call today.  The case manager said that he had two options for me.  One option was to have someone come to my house to look at it (but that would be the long way because it could take a couple of weeks), or I could send it in for repair again.  By now I am more than irritated.  I explained to him that his options were not acceptable, and told him the two options that I would accept.  I also asked to talk to his supervisor.  He told me that there was not a supervisor available, and that I would have to call back later.  By this point I am so irritated that I see red.  Before we hung up the phone he told me that whether or not the computer was replaced was under the discretion of HP.  That is all fine, and well.  However this computer has been nothing but problems since it was purchased.  With that being said it is not my fault that the computer is over heating all the time.  The only option for HP is to give me a new machine, or my money back.  [Legal Discussion Removed]  I should not have to send my computer back every couple of months because they have no idea what they are doing.  I will never again buy any HP product.

  • Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2009. Heat Issues

    Hi!
    What can i do?
    I have a macbook pro 13" from 2009.
    The fans are always on 1999 RPM, they never go faster, not even when the computer reaches a temperature of 80° Celcius.
    As soon as I go to youtube to watch a video, the temperature goes up alot, but the fans stays at 1999 RPM and they refuse to go up. So the computer just gets warmer and warmer.
    So I downloaded a program called smcFanControl, and when i watch usually any video on youtube, the temperature goes up to around 64° Celcius with the fans running at around 3500 RPM.
    I can forget about watching ANY HD 720p video on youtube, because then the computers temperature reaches at least 70° Celcius even with the fans running at 4000RPM.
    I am SO sick of this heat issue.
    What can i do?
    The room I am in, isnt even warm. My sisters Sony Vaio is at 40° Celcius when watching the same HD 720p video.
    And this problem doesnt only occur when I watch HD videos, i get it no matter what video I watch on youtube. Highly annoying.
    Why cant my macbook pro control the fans automaticly? Is there any program that i can use so it controls the fans automaticly? Because I am SO tired of controlling the fans all the time, i need to control them when I go to youtube, when i go to expressen.se (Swedish news online), I need to control them when using videocall via skype, yeah almost all the time!
    Does anyone have the same problem? Or any idea what to do? It doesnt even matter if I'm downstairs in the livingroom where its really cold, I cant watch videos on youtube without the temperature reaching sickingly 80°celcius, or 64°Celcius with the fan running faster, which I have to do manually by the way.
    I would just love for my macbook to control them automaticly, I hate that i have to do it.
    Please help.
    I run Mac Os X 10.6.3 (Snow leopard), I have a 2,26 Ghz Macbook Pro 13 inch from mid 2009.
    SMC-version 1.47f2
    Please help,
    Kind regards

    Hi again PatrikK,
    The temperature that SMCFanControl reports itself is the CPU A temperature diode one from what I can see. As a test I ran SMCFanControl alongside Marcel Bresink's excellent shareware program "Hardware Monitor" , which provides much more detailed information about temperatures , speeds, power demand, etc etc, than SMC is able to do, to test this and the CPU A temp diode was certainly the closest to the Hardware Monitor readings. On the video pages of the Swedish newspaper site it was generally about 10ºC hotter than the CPU core temperatures, which were generally in the 60'sC, while the CPU A diode was in the 70'sC.
    So, with your CPU Diode temp at 80ºC the CPU core temps were probably only at about 70C, which, as I said, is about where the fan speeds actually usually start to increase under normal MacOSX control. (The algorithms used to determine fan speed in Macs aren't actually based on CPU temperature alone, but depend on the readings from various temperature sensors, together with measurement of electrical current draw etc, so no single CPU temperature is responsible)
    All in all, when I look back at your earlier post as well, I think your MBP is probably simply operating normally in the situations you mention. It certainly won't be doing it any harm (the maximum CPU core temperatures allowable for the 13" model are either 90ºC or 100ºC, depending on the actual procesor fitted, and this equates to a CPU A temperature diode - the one your software is measuring - of over 100ºC.) At 80º CPU A temperature the fans should only just be starting to increase, and you will find that they cut in quite aggressively from then on in, making sure that the core temperatures are not exceeded.
    So I don't think you need to worry about this situation in terms of the computer itself, though you should certainly be able to reduce the temperatures somewhat if you follow the approaches I mentioned with respect to Flash etc in my earlier post.
    If your concern is mainly comfort when using the computer, all I can suggest is that you follow Apple's own instructions about these computers being "notebooks", not "laptops", and when using it in a comparatively "high demand" situation such as watching flash videos use it on a desk, or do what I do and simply stick it on a thin plastic or wooden board when it is resting on my knees. There are all sorts of fancy "laptop cooler" devices out there that you can spend money on if you wish, with everything from powered fans to chemically based cooling processes, but I've always found that a light weight $2 plastic chopping board from Ikea does the job perfectly well in such situations!
    Cheers

  • Gaming issues and heat issues, running windows 8.1 pro via bootcamp

    I have a few problems, and I don't know what else to do, then to write for help here..
    I really hope someone out there can help me, because I have had this problem since I bought my laptop mid 2012, and I got smarter since then, so now I know that I actually shouldn't have these problems, it's not because my very expensive laptop is bad, or that it is a laptop or because it's a mac, regardless of what people say, I'm positively certain that it's a problem which shouldn't be there.
    I have pretty great specs, (trust me i checked them out, not the best in the world, but pretty good) yet I can't enjoy 1 single mmorpg game like, Tera, or the new Archeage (currently in open beta), or any other game, (swordsman online)... Even though people say Tera has bad coding, I have tried adjusting things for weeks if not months, NOTHING helps, i get a frame rate that is from 0-25 very unstable, usually around 7-12, and sure if I go the lowest settings in the games I can get very unstable framerates but i guess they can get up to around 35-72 but drops to like 7 or 3 sometimes as well, so even on the LOWEST settings in the games I can't enjoy the games fully... It lags and such because of the low fps ofc...
    Other than that it also have a heat issue, mostly when running windows 8.1 in bootcamp.
    It get's quite hot, just by opening a browser window, and yes i have tried reseting smc, and p-rams, many times.. nothing seems to help.
    And even if it helped the heat problem, the gaming problem is still there.
    Now to my specs: (I have the macbook pro retina, mid 2012, 15 inch)
    - Prosseser: 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache. "Core i7" processor (3720QM)
    - Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
    - Storage: 256GB ssd flash storage. (Seperated into os x = 130GB, windows 8.1 pro = 120GB) Running games and such from my 1TB external harddisk.
    - Graphics and video support:
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
    Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors.
    And here's a link to see what is inside it for yourself: http://http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core- i7-2.6-15-mid-2012-retina-display-specs.html
    When that is said, apple's warranty has run out, and I didn't buy apple care, but I still have warranty from the store (humac) I bought it in, because in my country the law is warranty 2 years, no matter what, but if i can avoid it, I REALLY would like to avoid switching it out with a new one, since there could be problems all over again, and I would lose what I have on it right now, plus it's a hassle to get a new one, they will always try and fix it for a long long time before they give a new one, and probably can't find the problem...
    But if that's the only thing i can do about it, I will ofc, but just don't advise me to do that, unless there's no other solution to the problems.
    Please help me.
    ps: sorry if I posted it the wrong place, I wasn't allowed to post it the right place by apple...

    If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
    If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
    Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see  any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

  • Satellite P200 (PSPB6A) - Heating Issue

    I have recently setup my Toshiba Satellite P200 notebook as a Win-XP(SP 2) & Win-Vista Home Premium dual boot. I have also installed the SpeedFan utility to monitor component temperature on the system.
    When booting with Win-Vista Home Premium, the CPU temperature is generally in the 50-55(degree Celsius) range. However, on booting with XP, the temperature shoots up to the 65-70(degree Celsius) range and a loud noise from the fan is heard.
    Would someone be able to help me figure out as to what could be the problem with the installation?
    Thanks
    Arun

    You are speaking about heating issue if then temperature increased to 65-70 degree celsius?
    Hey buddy, such temperature is nothing unusual
    The CPU temperature can increase up to 100 degree Celsius and this depends on the notebook usage
    Furthermore you said that you have installed Win XP on this notebook
    In this case you should check the Power Saver settings
    In Basic Setup you could change CPU control method, CPU processing speed and cooling method these settings would affect the temperature and the cooling

  • Laptop over heating then shutting down

    Model; Satellite L355-S7812
    I've hade this computer two years. It started over heating then shutting down soon after I purchased it. It use to take 4-5 hours before it overheated now its less than an hour. What can be the problem?

    Probably the fans. They may need to be replaced. The Qosmio I purchased in 2005 had the same problem. I replaced the fans twice over the 5 years I used it. Fan issues are known problems with certain models, especially those that have high CPU usage. By the way, a Toshiba technician told me never to place the laptop directly on the lap or on a soft service like a bed. The fans can't ventilate properly, especially if they are located on the bottom of the computer. Since I have done that, the fans have worked fine.

  • Fixing the macbook heat issue

    Hi,
    There is a fairly simple solution, to at least reduce the risk of damaging your macbook by letting it run at high temps. I bought my 2.0GHz macbook over the weekend, it was idling around 70 - 75 C. Thats a little high in my book.
    I put the macbook on the vantec lap2cool laptop cooler that I have for my AMD64 HP laptop. Within about 30 minutes of running, the macbook was running between 42 C (idle) and 60 C (being taxed). Now the vantec is pretty cool, but its a little bulky for the little macbook.
    I picked up a targus cooler for about $24 at the local walmart, its keeping it idle around 48 C, and under normal conditions (text mate, iTunes, Firefox, Thunderbird) its running around 54 C. The targus cooler is pretty quiet, slim, but a little cheap. They sell some high-powered solutions on newegg.com with better CFM and higher RPMs.
    Now I'm sure a lot of typical mac users are going to have a fit about using a laptop cooler that makes the macbook a little bulker, but its way better than the damage your going to do to the macbook by running it hot on a daily basis!!

    Intel processors (at least recent ones) are well known for having heat related issues. AMD processors offer better price/performance with reduced energy consumption and output. My HP zv5000z which is AMD64 based, has two large fans on the base, and kicks off a fair amount of heat exhaust. That however is heat thats NOT in my system. If I use it for games, then I'd be crazy not to have it hooked up to the Vantec Lap2Cool.
    Apple in my opinion are taking a bit of a gamble. They've had to trade-off heat issues, performance with keeping the system quiet. To me, kicking the fans in on the macbook is a last ditch attempt to keep the system from keeling over, hence the loud noise (high RPM fans). What Apple is likely gambling over is that most users will run the machines in a "cool place" and the average user won't tax the system. Your business, designer, etc types aren't going to be playing games on it. They are gambling that the system will hold up to the level of heat abuse until the warranty runs out, or you purchase AppleCare. Either way, I assume they don't lose money.
    In terms of melting, I seriously doubt you'll see physical melting of the system. What you are more likely to see is heat related damage to electric components (either the processors themselves) or surrounding components, resulting in system failure (or odd issues like display problems, random crashes etc). Lets just say its in the best interest of the health of your system to keep it cool.
    The fact that Apple has corrected this on the MacBook Pros with firmware / hardware changes, would suggest there is some teething issues with the move over to Intel, and perhaps a shift in the type of customers buying the macbook.
    With the market being so competitive, do you really think Apple is going to say -- "Hey these Macbooks look nice, but they overheat, you need to get Apple Care because they'll fail sooner than expected, and you should buy a laptop cooler to extend the life of the product". This adds what $300.00 to the price of the laptop, thats already slightly higher than lightweight options from vendors such as Dell, HP etc. When you go to the Apple Store and the person working there insists that you should buy Apple Care because the system is going to fail sooner rather than later, that tells you something right there.
    Now if a laptop cooler keeps the system running between 43 C and 60 C instead of 60 C and 90 C, then aside from your own comfort with the thing on your lap, keeping the system cool is a good idea. Unless you like to return things to the Apple store?
