Cooling fan issues

Hi I just turned on my computer and i got a message saying "cooling fan not operating properly, computer will shut down in 15 sec-don not recommend using computer it can damange files or corupt harddrive. Do i just have another cooling fan installed? how expensive are fans? and I have to use my computer i'm in school, so is it safe to continue to use and just make sure it doesn't run hot? thanks

Hi,
The "cooling fan not operating properly" error appearing while booting might indicate that the Fan assembly is not working properly. So Let's try to resolve or isolate the issue, please follow the below instructions:
1.) When you get this error and before the 15 sec. countdown runs out, Press the Enter key to boot the Notebook to Windows.
2.) Open Internet Explorer webpage and go to HP Support Website.
Note: Make sure you change the Country Name at the bottom left to the Country from where the Notebook was purchased.
3.) Hover the mouse on Support option at the top center of the page and click on Download Drivers.
4.) Enter the Product# or Model# of your Notebook and click on Go.
5.) In the Download Driver page, select the Operating System of your Notebook (make sure the current Operating System installed in your Notebook is the original one shipped with the Notebook PC) and Click on Next.
6.) From the drivers listed below in the page select BIOS and download and install the latest Version.
Note: Make sure the Ac-Power Cord is connected during the BIOS update.
7.) Notebook will restart by itself to start the installation, just follow the on-screen instructions.
8.) Once the installation is done, restart the Notebook and check if the error still appears.
9.) If no error, the issue is resolved. If the issue still persists or appears again after few days or weeks then Contact HP Technical Support to get your Notebook repaired.

Thinkpad Yoga cooling fan issue

Hi,
my TPY had been working pretty well for several weeks but last few days I´m experiencing an annoying issue - the cooling fan doesn´t engage when TPY gets hot under load, even when the core gets to 100 degrees Celsius and all the bottom and right side of keyboard and palmrest is really very hot. The cooling fan seems OK, during BIOS update it engaged. There must have been some kind of recent "update" that messed it up. Any advices how to fix it, please?
Thanks, Tomas from Prague
P.S.: I´ve gone through the power management settings - the active cooling set on - no change. In the BIOS there´s no feature to control the cooling fan :/

I had very similar issues with the latest driver; device would disconnect, freeze, interfere with keyboard, display as "disabled" in device manager.
I simply just removed the synaptics driver and use the touchpad as a standard PS/2 device. Vastly improved stability but however you lose two finger scroll and gestures.
I also am looking for a better solution.
(I also disabled the active protection and transition software from lenovo - much better keyboard/touchpad performance and stability).

HP Notebook 2000 cooling fan issue

Hey, everyone. I've had my HP Notebook 2000 for a few years and I've discovered my first major issue just a few days ago when the cooling fan stopped working. I don't really mind it too much because I have a USB-powered cooling fan that my laptop rests on, and it does a pretty good job. My entire laptop remains at about the same average tempurature.
The biggest issue I'm having is every few hours, the laptop will automatically shut off because of it.
As well, when I boot it up (turn it on), it gives me a reminder that the cooling fan isn't working and I will have to press "enter" or the laptop shuts off in 15 seconds.
How can I make it so the laptop ignores the broken cooling fan? I don't want to spend the money to repair it because I can rely on the USB-powered cooling device.
Thank you!

No you can't. Reason it probably shuts down is because cpu temps peak over safety threshhold at times thus it shuts down to prevent damage.
Cooling systems on hp's are not the best when working so thermal stress on cpu,gpu & mainboard will be bad & failure failure will occur quite quickly.
Fan assembly is very cheap & can be done DIY if you have some skill in dismantling these sort of things & following hp service manual & other online guides.
I expect a new fan & new thermal paste & shimming along with cleaning would do wonders for running temps & long term health of the notebook.

Cooling Fan issue/Questions

Hello there I will try and explain this whole story as best as I can. First off, I know my way around computers, I am going to school for them. Asking for help is a last stretch for me... but I need to learn when to ask for help inorder to learn from my mistakes. This laptop is a HP Pavillion DV7. List of replacement parts for this laptop can be found here.I have done as much research as I can on the issue. So let me explain my situation. As a gamer, I know I stress out my laptop a lot. at 2.2ghz, it doesnt do much, but its 8mb L3 cache allows me to play quite a lot, not to mention what I gather from sources, my processor itself determines it should turboboost itself to 3.1ghz when it is under a heavy load. ( If this information is not true, then I will have to look into those sources again ) I have to admit, I do leave my computer on. I administrate gameservers and Teamspeak servers quite often, and gain access to the computers using the internet from my house to help fix the problems. I know I am not suppose to, but I leave it on so that I have the convience of looking into issues first hand and help the community owners as quickly as possible. I feel this is why I am having the issue I am. On Monday morning, a regular morning to wake up, first thing I do is check computer for any messages. The top left hand side of the computer is hot. Normal, since this is where the processor is in the laptop. The bottom part however never truely is. It got slightly warm, enough for me to take a notice. I turned computer off to let it rest so no problems had occured. a nice 30-45 minute rest. Laptop became room tempature at touch so I proceeded to turn it on. Upon doing so, I got a message The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly.Continued operation is not recommended and may cause unpredictable behavior that could result in random shutdown, data loss or possible system damage. The system will shut down in 15 seconds. To prevent shutdown and continue operation, press the Enter key now.System Fan (90b) I restarted computer, got same message. Proceeded to turn off laptop, then made sure AC power cord and adapter were working fine and plugged in. ( My Adapter block is normally hot, I think this is due to me leaving laptop plugged in all the time and never turning it off.) I restart once more, then head into BIOS. I check that the System Configurations are correct, Fan is automatically turned on, and I check BIOS logs for start up. All came up clear except the past 3 times. They stated part 090-B came up an error. This surely was the fan not being recognizes, as the start up told me. I go searching in the internet for replacement fan. This is the fan I have pruchased [ Replacement Fan ] and the thermal paste I purchased with it [ Thermal Paste ]. I rechecked with friends who work in computer stores for a living and they told me this was the correct part. So I decided I would wait. Today, I was told of an issue with the server, I log in to check the problem, get the error message for the fan. No biggie. I fix the issue within 5 minutes. My laptop was not on long enough to get hot. I get a message for an update today. I figured, sure; not a huge process needer, It will be fine. I let it update, and restart because I know it will need to finish applying them on restart. This time... the fan error did not display. I let the update patch in all 36,000 files. I restart after. I check the BIOS logs, It said no errors. I restart another 2 times to make sure I am not missing the message. There is none. Whether or not my idea is wrong, I will still replace the cooling fan. My question is... Since the BIOS is responsible for how the computer starts, could the update possibly be the reason the error message no longer occurs? with 36,000 files patched, they could have easily been a driver fix and or a BIOS patch. They also could have been a simple security fix, but I have no way or knowing. I know it was 14 updates, and 36,000 files patched. Could this at all have effected the error I was getting? Again, whether or not it could be the solution, I wil lstill replace the fan. I ask for future reference of this knowledge. Could this be a simple mistake in the matter? Should I take into consideration of the update as a fix for the fan? Did it matter at all? EDIT It seems though the error is gone, my processor still seems to be getting hot. This image shhows no sign of the fan working http://i.imgur.com/N1UgmHb.png

Still waiting for someone with more experience then me to explain to me the situation...

If the hard drive is making some noise, that is not a
good sign. It might mean that your hard drive is
about to have a hardware failure. I would make sure
to backup your important files to another hard drive
or to CDs. If you cannot get the hard drive replaced,
I suppose you could start using an external FireWire
hard drive. Of course, that may make your iBook much
less portable.
How old is your iBook? Which model do you have? (What
is the processor speed? You can check in "About This
Mac" in the Apple menu.)
-Doug
My ibook is dual USB G3 500mhz, i bought it recently in a mint physical condition.
i have already ordered a 60gb HD with Tiger on it.
i have external USB hard drives .... i can backup there.
i am new to Mac... so i want to learn about Mac on this ibook and then i will sell it and buy a new one.
i am upgrading this ibook with tiger, 60gb HD, Ram = 640 and combo drive.
i was able to use D-link USB DWL-G122 adapter to connect to my wifi network
but later i could not... cuz when i install USB driver from Raltink web site..... after downloading and installing
i am getting error that mounting has failed .
what does this mean and how can i fix it.
is it possible that i back up everything including OS on external USB HD, Erase everything from HD in ibook and reinstall backup .... may be old files of previous user are conflicting.
Again Questio is >> that can i reinstall OS from Backup cuz i dont have any OS CD.
if it is possible, what is the procedure of backup , erasing HD and then reinstallin
thanks for ur expertise help.

MBP 15" Cooling fan issue

For about the past few weeks, my MBP's (15", C2D 2.16 GHz) cooling fans have been running almost constantly. I fear this might have something to do with the battery what seems to be decaying rapidly. Has anyone else w. this model had these similar issues?
Here is my battery info from System Profiler:
Battery Information:
Model Information:
Serial Number: Sony-ASMB012-358d-3d
Manufacturer: Sony
Device name: ASMB012
Pack Lot Code: 0003
PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 102a
Hardware Revision: 0400
Cell Revision: 0303
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1603
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 1935
Health Information:
Cycle count: 150
Condition: Check battery
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -3459
Voltage (mV): 11200

No such problems here. Have you tried opening Activity Monitor and clicking on the CPU% column to sort descending and see if anything is using a considerable amount of CPU time? Have you used the Console app in the Utilities folder and checked the console log to see if there are a multitude of repeating entries and seeing if you can identify the application or process causing the repeated entries?
I don't see any reason why the battery should have any bearing other than constantly running fans and CPU processes might reduce the time you can run on the battery. If you were to remove the battery the processor speed would drop automatically which would reduce overall speed and amount of generated heat.

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

Qosmio G40 cooling fan issue

Hello every body i'm the international student bought G40. I had it about nearlly half year.
I recentlly found there is problem with my G40,i usually carry my G40 to library or to my friend place,once i took G40 out of the bag and put on desk and power on,CPU fan appears nosiy.

Greetings!

Dv5-2129wm cooling fan issue

I am trying to find out what cooling fan I need for my Windows 7 Home Prem OA dv5-2129wm laptop.
I tried HP support and it was a waste of time, so I thought I would go where people know what they are doing... to the people who use them.
When I start my laptop it gives the error "the cooling fan is not working and your system must shut down" then it shuts down. I don't use it often and am pretty disappointed with my HP at this point so hopefully someone can help me here. Unfortunately I am not very computer literate so go easy on me please.

Hi,
Cooling fan is a hardware item/part of a computer which can run Windows 7 or other Windows. If you wish to replace it by yourself, you need part. The following link shows ALL parts for your computer. You can buy from the Part Store or use part # and search online stores including eBay:
http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=XH007UA
Now, how do you replace part(s). The second manual of the following link shows you how:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&product=4308945
For the fan, you can start from page #80.
Regards & Good luck.

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.

Hi i have cooling fan(902) issue. my laptop wont run anymore asking me to ctc you

Hi
i have a problem with my hp notebook. it's only been bought last year. all of a sudden it's says there is a problem with the cooling fan and its (902) . It's not running anymore. pls help me with this issue as i don't have my laptop working for more than 4 days
many thanks
Jamunaa Kaneskaran

That kind of problem requires sending it back to HP if you are under warranty. If not you have to replace the cooling fan, which is a pretty major job. The BIOS will not allow the laptop to boot into Windows if the cooling fan is dead. I can't tell you exactly how to do it because you don't tell us what kind of laptop you have.

MSI GE60 0ND - Fan Issue - Cooler Boost Button

Hello,
I have a problem with my MSI GE60 0ND. The fan / cooler boost button above the keyboard is always glowing and sometimes very light flickering. The fan spins at a normal and quiet level.
When I press the button the fan starts spinning up and stays at the high level. The ligt of the button keeps glowing, but the flickering stops completly. When I press it again the fan goes back to a normal level, but the light keeps glowing.
I recently updates the EC-Version, because I had an issue with my fan which was really annoying. Before the EC update my fan kept spinning up and down every 10-20 seconds.
The temperatures ware always at a normal level. I own my MSI GE60 about one year. The spinning fan issue started just one month ago, but was fixed trough the update.
Some detailed information about my notebook:
MSI GE60 0ND
Bios: E16GAIMS.10F (Release version)
EC-Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and tried also Windows 8.1 x64. Both have the same fan button issue.
Installing / Uninstalling MSI SCM utility didnt make any difference.
Regards
Thomas

fan is constantly spinning with the same, average speed. It goes faster when on stress but continue to spin when system is idle
Bios Version: E16GAIMS.10F
EC Version: 16GAEMS1 Ver4.05
Sorry to spoil that, but the fan was indeed always spinning before, too. But very quietly at a low rate! You could observe rotational speed in RWeverything and it did NEVER stop with that notebook (GE60) and the EC-version 14.04
If you want to go back, check out my post here. There are the old firmware files included as well. But read the readme.txt thoroughly first!

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.
