Fan always 100% on

Hi there, I purchased on early August a brand new HP 15 Pavillon N253SL with AMD A6. After just a couple of weeks now the fan always go at max speed and it's pretty noisy. Any idea on why it happened and what to do?

  • HD7950 temp sensor always zero + auto fan always 100%

    After installing new card and latest CCC software and drivers as soon as windows starts, the card fan goes to 100% even at idle.  In Performance section of CCC GPU temp reads 0c at all times even under load.
    Tried uninstall CCC, remove card, re-install card and then CCC, no dice... same problem.  I can manually adjust the fan speed in CCC but it's a PITA and shouldn't be necessary.
    Do I have a faulty temp sensor perhaps?
    Thanks....

    Obviously either driver isn't correctly installed or it's indeed a sensor misreading caused by a defect.
    Remove current driver in safe mode using>>Driver Fusion<<. Reboot and install latest MSI driver:
    Thanks for the suggestion.  Gave it a whirl but still the same deal.  Temp 0c - Power 0% - Activity 0% - Fan 100% from the moment Win7 starts no matter what the card's doing.
    Only thing I didn't follow to a T from syour suggestion is that the free version of Driver Fusion said it required upgrading to Pro to remove all driver items even in Safe Mode.

  • MSI GT70 0NC FAN always 100% (Unblocked Bios Request?)

    Hello, I have a problem with my GT70 CPU Fan.
    It keeps running at full speed since I use the Internal GPU because my graphic card is dead and removed.
    I have found few similars topics that always ended up by unblocked bios request so I tried to update with the latest versions available on the website but it didnt solve the problem.
    My current settings are
    EC: 1762EMS1 ver4.14
    BIOS: E1762IMS.10U
    Running on Win 7 64b
    The link for my exact same problem : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254778.0
    Thanks in advance

    yes, i can start work on it once donation is received: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=134259.0
    and to send it back to you when its done 3-4 hours later

  • MSI 970a-g43 CPU fan always at 100% when fast boot or MSI Fast Boot is enabled

    I turned on fast boot in my motherboard in my BIOS but now whenever I boot into windows the CPU fan is always at 100%. I really like the performance gain from fast boot, however I can't stand the CPU fan always at 100%. The fan normally runs at ~1150rpm when its off but when its on it runs full blast ~2800rpm.
    My specs are:
    MSI 970a-g43
    AMD FX 6300
    MSI HD 7870 OC Edition (Flashed with GOP vBios)
    2x4 8gb DDR3 g.skillz ram

    I have it set to 55c smart fan control in the BIOS. With fast-boot off it works perfectly. It seems like its not lowering the fan like it normally does when its on. If I go into the BIOS and reset it it'll work fine the first time, but after that it'll do the 100% fan speed all the time.

  • My Macbook Pro fans always on

    Hi to everyone,
    I just noticed some days ago that on my brand new MacBook Pro (5-6 months older) 2.3 ghz I7 with 10.8.5, the right and left fans are always on.
    From what I can remember, in this months I never noticed something like this, I mean fans always on, especially when the mac wasn't run any application.
    I don't use to install craps on the macs, I always used this philosophy, even if the Mac is less "fancy" and I always got great result, my Powerbook G4 1.67 ghz with 10.5.8 still working great!
    I usually use it mainly for music production and daily net-mail works. I have for the 80% of the time the Mac connected with a NEC EX231W external display by thunderbolt, a Motu 4Pre, by the fw800, a WD usb3 hd on a usb port and a 4usb hub on the other port.
    From what I can remember in the past months I neved had the fan always on, for most of the time they were really off and from the first moment I always use the set I metioned above.
    So now I'm starting to be worry about, because I noticed that even when the mac is working with the battery, with no devices connected, running really few applications, not particualry heavy, the fans are always at 1998/2000 rpm.
    Thanks to everyone can help me to fix this problem.

    As we've repeatedly mentioned, the fans are designed to run all the time, in a 2000-6000 RPM range. If at any time speed falls to zero, "Houston, we have a problem" time has arrived. The heat load from the CPU (and GPU, if so equipped) would quickly reach the danger zone.
    Why would you get a zero RPM reading? As usual, it is either a software or a hardware problem. Software: whatever it is you're using for the readout ain't getting it right OR there's a major "kunfuzzion" in there. Hardware: speed sensor(s) damaged OR fan(s) blocked and really not running. Either way, the issue needs to be addressed pronto, cause if "no fan(s)" is really  and truly NO FAN(S), Mac's gonna be kaput in no time.
    Note that I say fan(s) cause we've yet to confirm if yours is a 15" unit. Those and the ancient 17" come with two fans. The 13" units have a single one.

  • Closed lid, fans always running

    Howdy. I've been using my MBP in closed lid mode attached to a Cinema Display. I expected the fans to run constantly when in use, especially with XP running in Parallels. When I put the computer to sleep--still attached to monitor, usb keyboard, bluetooth mouse and power adapter--it acts as I suspect it would, fans stop, front LED starts fading in and out. However, I'll come back later and the LED will be solid, display blank, and the fans running away. The keyboard or mouse will wake the computer and then it runs as normal. This has happened overnight as well as in half an hour, and several times.
    I am kind of getting concerned about using the computer this way. Fans always fail, and I am not really looking forward to opening the computer up again.
    I guess my questions are: why would the computer be running the fans, especially after being in sleep for hours, and is it shortening my MBPs expected life using it with the lid closed?
    Thanks.

    I'd guess/assume that something is actually waking it from sleep and causing the heat/fan activity and that when you return you're not actually waking it up just re-activating it from screensaver mode ...
    Run Utilities/Console and click 'All Messages' top left - what lines appear during the time you think it should be sleeping ?
    It isn't shortening the life of the hardware using it in clamshell mode but if something is causing it to overheat regularly that will have an impact on internal components/motherboard that could be detrimental.

  • Fan always working, trying to find out why

    Hello everybody. My MacBook Pro has been recently behaving strange in regards to its fan. It is always working, often on really high speed. The monitor doesn't really show any extreme process CPU activity except kernel_task from time to time or safari "Web-Inhalt" (not sure what this is in English). Here is my recent EtreCheck. Maybe someone could take a fast look at this for any culprits that might trigger the fan. Thanks a bunch!

  • Windows 7, file properties - Is "date accessed" ALWAYS 100% accurate?

    Hello,
    Here's the situation: I went on vacation for a couple of weeks, but before I left, I took the harddrive out of my computer and hid it in a different location. Upon coming back on Monday (January 10, 2011) and putting the harddrive back in my computer, I
    right-clicked on different files to see their properties. Interestingly enough, several files had been accessed during the time I was gone! I right-clicked different files in various locations on the harddrive, and all of these suspect files had been accessed
    within a certain time range (Sunday, ‎January ‎09, ‎2011, approximately ‏‎between 6:52:16 PM - 9:06:05 PM). Some of them had been accessed at the exact same time--down to the very second. This makes me think that someone must have done
    a search on my harddrive for certain types of files and then copied all those files to some other medium. The Windows 7 installation on this harddrive is password protected, but NOT encrypted, so they could have easily put the harddrive into an enclosure/toaster
    to access it from a different computer.
    Of course I did not right-click every single file on my computer, but did so in different folders. For instance, one of the folders I went through has different types of files: .mp3, ,prproj, .3gp, .mpg, .wmv, .xmp, .txt with file-sizes ranging from 2 KB
    to 29.7 MB (there is also a sub-folder in this folder which contains only .jpg files); however, of all these different types of files in this folder and its subfolder, all of them had been accessed (including the .jpg files from the sub-folder) EXCEPT the
    .mp3 files (if it makes any difference, the .mp3 files in this folder range in size from 187 KB to 4881 KB). Additionally, this sub-folder which contained only .jpg files (48 .jpg files to be exact) was not accessed during this time--only the .jpg files within
    it were accessed-- (between 6:57:03 PM - 6:57:08 PM).
    I thought that perhaps this was some kind of Windows glitch that was displaying the wrong access date, but then I looked at the "date created" and "date modified" for all of these files in question, and their created/modified dates and
    times were spot on correct.
    My first thought was that someone put the harddrive into an enclosure/toaster and viewed the files; but then I realized that this was impossible because several of the files had been accessed at the same exact time down to the second. So this made me think
    that the only other way the "date accessed" could have changed would have been if someone copied the files.
    Is there any chance at all whatsoever that this is some kind of Windows glitch or something, or is it a fact that someone was indeed accessing my files (and if someone was accessing my files, am I right about the files in question having been copied)? Is
    there any other possibility for what could have happened?
    Do I need to use any kinds of forensics tools to further investigate this matter (and if so, which tools), or is there any other way in which I can be certain of what took place in that timeframe the day before I got back? Or is what I see with Windows 7
    good enough (i.e. accurate and truthful)?
    Thanks in advance, and please let me know if any other details are required on my part.
    P.S. The harddrive is NTFS.

    Never mind.  Someone else already answered this for me:
    "I use last accessed-created date time stamps all the time when troubleshooting-investigating software installs, its been very accurate in my uses of it in NTFS file systems.
    Since some of the dates are while you were gone, I assume it was several days to a week, I would say someone did access those files.
    These timestamps along with other data are used by computer forensics teams to reconstruct what a user did on a computer.
    Experienced Hackers use software to alter these time stamps to cover their tracks when breaking into computer systems."
    http://superuser.com/questions/232143/windows-7-file-properties-is-date-accessed-always-100-accurate/232320#232320
    Additionally, I just now found out what happened. Someone else found the harddrive and thought it was theirs (since it was identical to one they had been missing), so they put it in their computer and scanned it with an anti-virus software. They realized it
    wasn't theirs and then put it back in the place I had hidden it.
    In my original question, I stated a possible theory that someone may have copied the files, but I later realized that copying in itself doesn't affect the "date accessed" of the original/source file, but rather only the "date accessed" of
    the copy.
    Thanks to all those that may have read my question.

  • Fan always running on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W)

    The fan on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W) seems to be always running (and it's not quiet). I believe I'm running the latest BIOS and I've already checked to make sure the air vents are clear. I'm not running any memory or processor intensive applications. Any suggestions how to reduce how long and frequently the fan seems to be running? Thanks.

    Hello @jmgoldsmith,
    I understand that you are having issues with the fan always running on your HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000 Desktop PC. I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer the number you provided is not a product number (example : HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000t CTO Desktop PC has a product number of BN997AV). I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Please re-post with the requested information and I would be happy to provide you with assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    i bought my laptop a few months ago
    it had a problem
    i took it to the technical support
    they have changed the motherboard
    the problem was solved
    byt anothe proplem appeared
    my laptop always on and too loud
    even the processor is cool
    it blow cool air out of air vents
    thats mean there isn't any overheating inside
    i dowloaded a program to show me the processor temp.
    it ranged between 43 and 50 celesius
    i just want to know if i can change the rage which fan working on
    or its a technical issue and i have to go technical support

    This is the problem of the fan and not BIOS/System problem.
    At such temperature Fan always keep cooling your laptop.
    The cooler the laptop is the better working and lifespan!
    If fan makes noise, get only the fan replaced.

  • Is MBP Fans always on?

    well, I have notice while the room is empty and quit that the MBP Fans working so I got curious
    I closed every application and Fans still working...
    I restarted the OS and no application is running, still Fans working at 1999-2000 rpm
    is that normal the Fans always working in no matter what condition the MBP is in?

    The fans are on continuously to cool the Intel microprocessor and other components. If they weren't always "on", your machine would burn up by the heat created from the Intel chip. There are thermal detectors in your machine monitoring the components and controlling the speed of the fans. Therefore, on a hot day you'll probably notice the fan noise more; and on a cool day, less so.

  • Fans always max speed from boot

    Hi,
    my macbook pro unibody (15") has fans always on at maximum speed even. No matter the temperature of cpu or % of CPU activity (smcfan is of no use). Batteries drained in one hours...no use of a portable,
    After an hardware check it seems some temperature sensor were not working properly.
    I've got my logic board changed and.......fans keep running at top speed and now also keyboard backlight is gone....any suggestion...I'll ask to change the machine that is clearly faulty somewhere...
    Any hints from Apple?
    Ciao
    Nik

    Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test? If you get an error code indicating the sensors, it may be that they were not properly plugged into the logic board following the logic board replacement. If the sensors are not sensing the temperature, the fans will run all out by default. If the sensors themselves are faulty, then replacing the logic board will not cure the problem.
    For the backlight, check in System preferences>Keyboard & Mouse> Keyboard and make sure the box is checked to illuminate the keyboard under low light conditions. If it is and the keyboard still does not light, the keyboard backlight flex cable may not have been well seated.
    Who did the repair? Apple or an AASP? If the latter, it may be worth trying someone different. It sounds like the logic board replacement may not have been done as carefully as it should have been.
    Good luck!

  • MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock unless fan is 100%

    Hello Everyone,
    I got my GTX 570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition yesterday and I like it a lot.  I've been testing it and running it through various benchmarks and games to find the best stable overclocks with Afterburner.  By doing this I noticed a few things that lead me to question if there is a problem.
    Before I started trying to overclock, I ran the card at the stock settings 770core/1540shader/2000memory @ 0.962v and tried various benchmarks and stress tests.  Immediately I noticed there were errors and artifacts.  I tried to increase voltage and I noticed that the artifacts and errors were going away, so I thought maybe my VID was too low...  at 1.012v it seems to be error free at stock settings.
    I tried another thing as well, I left the card at stock VID (0.962v) and put the fan speed to 100% and I noticed all errors and artifacts completely gone.  So I lowered fan speed to 70% because 100% is too loud for me and 70% is still pretty loud but it's better...  I found that at 70% I still got some errors but not a lot.  Let me just say that my GPU Core temperatures are amazing. never over 62c.
    So now I don't know if there is a problem with my card or the factory just gave it too low of stock VID.  I think it's kind of weird that at stock settings that the card would produce artifacts and errors unless the fan speed is at 100%.  I'm guessing MSI factory tested stock overclocks with 100% fan speed?
    I love this card, but if I ever resell in the future and someone installs this card they will think its broken.
    Let me just state that finally, the card is an overclocking monster.  I am now at 950core/1900shader/2300memory @ 1.082v without any errors...  The only problem I have is that when I run unigine heaven I see some of these graphical anomalies.  Here's an example I found online which is exactly what I see.  http://fotohost.lv/images/n6azp80ru74so1ecp009.jpg
    So far I'm not sure what the cause is for that... but I think that when I put the fan at 100% I didn't see it.  I could be wrong, but I will test again when I wake up tomorrow.
    Thanks MSI.

    Thanks for the reply Henry, but the problem here is that it wasn't stable from the factory at their settings.
    Do you understand how this can be problematic for me if I ever decided to sell the card?  It is no problem for me to raise the voltage at all.  I think this card is phenomenal, but if I ever sold this card to someone else who doesn't want to or know how to overclock or adjust voltages, it would be classified as a broken or faulty video card.
    Also scratch the stability at 100% fan speed.  I still get some errors, although not many.  The card seems to be stable around 1.018 volts at default overclocked settings.
    I just didn't expect MSI to make a mistake on the stock VID.  If there were a way for them to fix it through a bios update it would be great. 
    Edit: Just for the record, the card is a great overclocker and is very stable.  The only gripe I have is that it isn't stable at default frequencies unless I bump voltage to 1.018.  This is no problem for me, but if I ever were to sell this card, I would have to have a disclaimer that it is unstable unless you put voltage higher?
    I'm just trying to figure out if this could be some oversight on MSI's part and if it isn't, could my card not have been quality inspected?

  • Is it wrong to turn off the option ( fan always on )

    my notebook is dv6-1235
    is it wrong to turn off the option ( fan always on ) from the bios..... because iam afraid that it will hurt the cpu or the graphic card as they become so hot somtimes ....

    you can turn the setting off...there is still a failsafe to kick the fan on if the system gets way too hot
