Cooling fan creating problem

i have a hp ENVY dv6-7250ca laptop and when i turn it on, it states the fan is not working correctly, then shuts down after 15 seconds or continues to windows if you press enter. it constantly makes really loud grinding noises. I can tell that something is not right. I've had this laptop for two years now, and i dont think this problem should occur this early.
how do i stop the noise?

I am afriad the fan needs to be replaced. I would not continue to use it in that state. Post back if you wish to know the exact part number, where to buy it for the best price and get step by step replacement instructions. It is a fairly involved procedure but the part itself is not too expensive.

HP 255 given problem after changing the cooling fan.

Please help, this is urgent. I changed my HP 255 cooling fan after it stopped working. when i finished replacing it with new one, i coupled back my computer and put it on. it came up with a message that the selected boot image is invalid, after series of troubleshooting by going online, i was able to eradicate the message. But am always stuck at a message that said recovery, your pc needs to be repaired. an unexpected error has occured. error code:0xc0000185. i tried repairing the operating system but there was no success. i was able to the a system recovery using HP recovery manager, the recovery was successful, but when i reboot pc after completion of recovery, it still returned me back to the message that my pc needs to be repaired. I cant even boot from the cd because i feel like downgrading it to Windows 7. Please help me, the computer is urgently need to complete my project work.
thanks

Hi - firstly, did you use any sort of ESD protection whilst working on the machine? This should be a priority due to the sensitivity of the devices on the motherboard.
Before suspecting the worst, I would make some basic checks on the hard drive. Firstly, double check it has been firmly pushed back on to the connector (I know, you have probably done this already!)
Restart your computer - when it goes through the repair process, it will offer you advanced tools - click on this.
Select Command Line (CMD) - this will give you a black window with white text. Type the following then hit the enter key -
chkdsk /r
This will take what seems like forever but let it do its thing - hopefully you just have some damaged sectors, this will find and "repair" them (actually moves the data to a better part of the disc and marks the bad sectors so they don't get used in future). Sometimes this is enough to get things working again. When it has finished, you might want to check the system files, if not, simply restart the machine but if you do, type the following into the command line -
sfc /scannow
Again this will take some time but it will find most problems with system files and replace them, however it isn't infallible.
Let me know how it goes....

Cooling fan problem

Please my laptop is having issues with the cooling fan. And now it is no more turning on. Please what can i do for it to work properly??

first, check if there are any obstruction in the vent.
if not performing BIOS update resolves that kind of issue its not a hardware issue.
if after BIOS update same issue persist, check the setting of the fan in BIOS (f10) and check the FAn setting is on.
contact HP for repair if issue persist

Cooling fan has a fast speed that comes on now and again. is this a problem

hi,
   I mac 21.5 late 2009. osx10.9 pro 3.6 GHz intel core 2 duo. mem 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
   in normal use cooling fan is inaudible. top of machine gets quite to the touch.
   on some occasions at start up the cooling fan fires up at turbo speed and is as noisy as an 8 inch desk fan.
   when in this state it does keep the machine really cool, which is the way i would prefer. anyone know why
   the fan should decide to run on turbo speed sometimes and not others.
   anyone can help i would be really grateful........Phil.

Hi p.growden,
Your iMac has fans in it that are meant to keep it cool when it is under load. You can read more about them in this article -

Satellite A215-S4757 - Battery life and cooling fan issue

Hello everybody,
I would like to ask a few questions abou my system: first of all, the cooling fan is running in my opinion too often: almost continuously, with brakes of 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?
I have my laptop since august last year and I think it shouldn't be a problem of dust, because it is too "young" for that and I don't live in a "dusty" appartment...
Anyway, I think the "almost allways running fan" problem appeared about 2 months after I purchased the notebook. I have installed "Speedfan" and I see "HD0" temperature is increasing from about 30deg immediately after I start the laptop, to about 39deg after 1 hour.
But the curious thing is that so named "Core" temperature is oscillating from the beginning between 45deg and over 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature is rising over 50deg and stops when the temperature reaches 45deg. Is this behaviour normal???
Is the core temperature of 45-50deg normal? I am just using my laptop for Internet browsing, e-mails, etc., no complex 3d games!
The second thing is that the battery life is (and was from the beginning) not spectacular: it lasts max. 1,5 hours with wireless on, but normal use of laptop (not playing dvd's or something like this). Is this normal? If yes, is it because of the amd turion 64x2 processors?
Please help me with some advices / opinions.
P.S. I've bought my Toshiba as I was on trip in USA (NY).
Thank you very much in advance.
Conrad

> I would like to ask a few questions about my system: first of all, the cooling fan is running in my opinion too often: almost continuously, with brakes of 2-3 seconds. Is this normal?
Im an owner of a Satellite A210. Its similar to the A215. The A210 is a European model and the A215 belongs to the US notebook series.
I have noticed the same on my A210 and I think its normal behavior.
> But the curious thing is that so named "Core" temperature is oscillating from the beginning between 45deg and over 52deg! The fan starts each time the core temperature is rising over 50deg and stops when the temperature reaches 45deg. Is this behavior normal???
The CPU temperature of 40-60deg is nothing unusual.
The temperature could arise up to 70-80degrees while playing a game. So dont worry about the temperature.
The cooling modules are controlled by BIOS. The fan table is stored in the BIOS and it contains informations about temperature limits and the cooling usage.
If a certain temperature level was reached the cooling module starts to rotate with a certain speed.
Now I would like to say something about the notebooks battery life time
Generally the battery life time depends on the notebooks usage.
While playing games or watching movies the battery would discharge much faster.
Anyway, your notebook was equipped with high-performance devices and as far as I know the Vista was preinstalled on this series. Both factors (high performance devices CPU and GPU) + Vista OS need a lot of battery power. Vista needs more notebook resources as the Win XP and therefore notebooks with Vista OS run shorter on battery as the notebooks with preinstalled Win XP.
Last but not least you have to know that there are different battery models A stronger battery with higher *mA* value would help to run the notebook longer using the battery power.
Hope I could clarify this question.
Bye

Vaio E series - Cooling Fan noise

Hello, 2 weeks ago I bought Vaio E series. I was very excited that I will have Vaio laptop. It was like my dream wish. According to our standard, we are poor country and the Vaio laptops are extremely expensive. But, Vaio laptops are know for high quallity laptops and great support from Sony. So, I bought it. I am very satisfied with the quality. But I have one problem. The cooling fan is making a lot of noise even the CPU usage its 10 %. I have the latest BIOS version. So, Sony I am expecting from you to release a new BIOS update fixing this issue.. I dont want to start thinking that I pay a lot of money only for the name. With that money I could buy a more powerful machine but I put my trust in Sony. The model number is Model # SVE17122CXB. PS. Don't say that I should go to service center because they can do nothing. I am an IT student and I know how this stuff works. And I dont want the fact that the new laptop will be repaired. So the only solution is BIOS update. Sony, do not make me regret that I have chosen you before other brands.
I am expecting a positive feedback.

t0n1,
Engineering came back saying that fan speed control is not supported on the SVE17 hardware so there is no way on this model to control the fan speed manually. I apologize for suggesting this initially, at the time I did not have your exact model at my desk but instead I had a very similar one (SVE14A)
I also received two SVE17 notebooks and both have extremely quiet fan (especially if CPU usage is very low). Loud fan noise is not a characteristic of this model.
If you feel that the fan on your SVE17 is abnormally loud, then you have two options at this point:
1) You can make a audio/video recording of this fan noise and post it for me to review; after that i can try to give you more suggestions or let you know if this is in fact normal or not. At this time you do not mention that your computer is shutting off, so the unit is not overheating.
2) Or you can consider service. (I realize you initially refused service in your original post, but sometimes some new thermal sheets or re-seating of the heat-sink can address these issues.

What is the typical cost of replacing the cooling fan the laptop is HP Pavillion DV6 6165tx.

What is the typical cost of replacing the cooling fan in a
laptop computer ? (In India in Indian Rupees)?
The laptop is HP Pavillion DV6 6165tx. The cost means
fan cost plus labour charges.

Hi,
You should know this better than us. Normally part is around $40 (more or less) and labour can be $50 to $200. I would charge this for $400 (minimum) or free.
Regards.

Yosemite download issues related to cooling fan

I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with tech support, and 4 days attempting to resolve a download problem on my MBP. After upgrading to Yosemite I attempted to update my primary software package for work and the download continues to stall during download. Apple care told it was the Software's company's fault, the software company pointed me back to Apple. Apple pointed me back to them and they pointed back to Apple - I just want what I have paid for to work as advertised.
Here is where I am at now: I will begin the download and it will progress like normal, then the cooling fan comes on and the download with stop. Several times the progress of the download, in percentage, actually shows to decrease - meaning it goes backwards somehow. I cancel the download and restart the software the cooling fan stops, I restart the download and after a random amount of time the coolings fans start again and the download stalls. I know that this sounds very unrelated but since I noticed this connection it has done it every time since and I have went through this process at least 12 times since first making the connection.
I have followed all of the steps from Apple's senior advisor in checking settings and troubleshooting. She told me that it was the software's problem. The software company tells me their servers are good and then shows me the mountain of reports from Yosemite users that are having similar issues. Meanwhile I'm stuck with a $2500 dollar MBP and a $3000 software investment that I can't use for the purpose that I bought them. When I told Apple care about the fan issue they inferred that I was crazy to think that the cooling fan could be connected - maybe I am.

It's not clear to me if this is an issue within the software package such as with a download feature within a particular software package or software distribution mechanism, or if this is something weird with OS X Yosemite that's causing a problem elsewhere that's effecting this download.
Who is the third-party vendor, and what is the package? Is there a posting from the vendor pointing to the issue?
Has the third-party vendor plans to offer an alternative download path, which would seem reasonable for a case such as this with a "mountain of reports" involved?
Given your long discussion with the vendor and with Apple, have there been specific suggestions you've tried and found haven't worked? Otherwise, we're just going to repeat some of those.
The cooling fan gets involved when something goes compute-bound or otherwise starts looping, either due to a design problem or due to a bug. Adobe Flash Player tends to spool up the fans, for instance.

RADEON 9800 cooling fan

I have a RADEON 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB in my QuickSilver 2002 mounted in the AGP slot. The 9800 cooling fan is very loud (grinding sound) after a cold startup then gets quiet after it warms up. I have looked at third party cooling fans for this RADEON and I have found the Zalman v700cu and the Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 1, Rev. 2 that seem to be compatible. From the images of these two coolers it looks like the two mounting screws that project out the back of the garphic card are very close to the lower memory slot in my QuickSilver. I don't use the PCI slot next to the AGP slot so I know the coolers will be OK there.
My question is, has anyone actually tried one of these coolers in a QuickSilver 2002 and is there enough clearance between the mounting posts on the cooler and the memory card to prevent them from touching?

ATI fans are notoriously bad (read that as cheap). You will know the fan is going bad when you hear a loud whine or grinding noise after a cold startup or during heavy use. The fan went bad on my 9800 Pro 256 after just 5 months. I had to send the card to ATI for repair - nearly 3 weeks to get the card back. The replacement ATI fan started making noise after another 90 days. I can't see doing this on a regular schedule for the three year warranty term so I replaced the stock fan with an Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 1, Rev. 2. It's easy to install. So quiet that I can't hear it run and my computer case and power supply fans run slower and with less noise than ever before due to the Arctic fan venting warm air out of the computer.
The Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 1, Rev. 2 installed perfectly with no modifications and minimal effort. It has a 6 year warranty. I consider this modification the best thing you can do to protect the $250 (or whatever you pay) investment you make with the RADEON card. It's better than waiting for the stock fan to fail and cause your 9800 to melt down. Technically installing the Arctic fan voids the ATI warranty but I believe I could reinstall the old stock fan if the card needs other warranty repairs without anyone noticing the switch was ever made.
So your answers are yes and yes although I never had the monitor problem you describe. The ATI card is a good choice - keep it then download and install the latest drivers from the ATI/AMD web site and do yourself a favor and buy an Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer model for your card. Install it when you start to hear the stock fan going bad. You will be glad you did.
PS - many thanks to FangSuede for his excellent advice given to me.

Cooling fan not working...????

when i m turn on my laptop...
there is message display that cooling fan is not working correctly..???
& shut down after 15 sec now what is the problem is happen???

We need the model number of the laptop to give detailed help. One thing you can try is to remove the battery and AC adapter. Bent out a paperclip and stick it in the fan grille to hold the blades. Blow in compressed air. Now put the AC adapter in and start up. Tap F10 to enter BIOS. As you leave reset BIOS to default. This may remove the message. If not the fan needs to be replaced.

Cooling fan inconsistent

I've been getting the "Cooling Fan is not operating properly" message for almost a year now, and have been saving up for a replacement fan and heatsink. Starting in about August, the fan started dying quicker, but accompanied by a grinding noise. Today, I observed the grinding sound smoothly transitioning to what I would consider a good fan speed. It happened twice in the span of an hour and hasn't happened since. Is this a problem with the fan or the heat sink unit? And do I even have to replace the full part?

Hi @EventideOne ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx Notebook and issues with the fan. Here is a document on overheating which could possible cause a fan issue or will cause the Notebook to heat up fast.
Here is a link to troubleshoot fan errors.
In the link, it has to update your BIOS, but I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the fan error message if cleaning does not help.
If that does not help at the end of the document it shows you to do a hardware test.
Please note remove any and all USB devices before troubleshooting. Disconnect all non-essential devices
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
