Hp compaq 615 - high speed fan

Previously, it was all good cooler is not noisy
cleaned up the laptop from dust
pulled the battery from the motherboard
and then it all started
cooler always makes a noise
tried to disable the BIOS
but did not help
reset all the settings Biosa
did not help = (
I think something with the firmware
CPU temperature is normal
50-60 C
even up to 33-35 C down
I do not remember before my firmware version was
Now look through the prog that I have AIDA64
Field Value
BIOS Properties
BIOS Type Compaq
BIOS Version 68GVV Ver. F.06
Compaq BIOS Ownership Tag Unknown
Compaq BIOS UUID Unknown

F.06 version =((((
I do not know to update the BIOS or not
I am afraid to kill a laptop ...
Please be advised that anything .......

ok then
1. download bios setup file
2. open it (double click
3. follow instructions - depends of exe type:
- simple quick install - just like normal aplication and system restart after
or
- it will ask U to chose place when u want to save bios files:
a) CD ROM
b) pendrive
4. U chose drive
5. setup will copy files on it
6. when its done u have to restart ur laptop
7. press F9 key when its starting - u see logo HP (before system will load)
8. chose drive U want to boot laptop from - depends what u have made in punkt 3.
9 it will automaticly install and after it will restart laptop also automaticly.
Done
click on Kudos if i helped U

Sporadic high-speed fan behavior ––– removing battery solves problem?

Every so often, my fans will peg around 6,000rpm, even though the operating temp is around 120º – not nearly hot enough to trigger such fan action. I check Activity Monitor and nothing is hogging the CPU (Safari 5.0, kernel_task 3.3, pmTool 2.6, configd 2.4, etc. – these are pretty typical readings.) The % Idle is usually around 90%.
I just discovered that removing the battery solves the problem. Just one minute later, my fan speed is at 2003rpm.
It's driving me nuts, and (of course) when I take it to the Genius Bar, it won't replicate the problem.
Any ideas?

While I'm not sure what may be causing your sporadic fan behavior, running your MacBook Pro with the battery removed causes the system to significantly reduce the processor speed. That is probably why your system is running cooler with the battery removed... not because of any fault with the battery itself:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
You may want to reset your System Management Controller (SMS). The link below provides the details. Among the things this will address are fans that run at high speed although the computer is not experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated. Be sure to follow the instructions specific for your machine as they vary slightly from model to model.

Tecra S11 - High Speed Fan

Hi guys,
I need some help on a issue that really puzzle's me.
After I tried to make a bios update to the ultimate (February 2012) version, within windows 7, I've obtained an error message stating that I had no permission to make the update. Since then, the fan starts to rotate in high speed, as soon as I start the computer, just after the logo display.
Since then I've upgraded the bios using the Dos procedure, but the proble persists. It performs like a fully fledge high capacity server regarding the noise fan.
How can I troubleshoot this and solve it?
Thank you.

Hi MasterG,
Thank you for your answer but that is not the problem.
Than Fan rotation starts at Post level, long before the Os kernel starts to execute.
Another starnge thing is that when I put the pc on sleep mode, when it awakes the fan is stoped. If I restart the Pc the symptom restarts.
I tried to update the bios to ver 3.30 using BIOS330_EC200.exe
It could be a EC/KBD problem. When executing from Win7 it states:
BIOS Version : Current Ver.3.30 --> Updated Ver.3.30
EC Version : Current Ver.1.90 --> Updated Ver.2.00
There is need to update EC.
<EXECUTE THE UPDATE>
Error: Preparing to update was failed.
You have not given permission to execute the update.
Really there's a problem with the update. Then only way I could do the bios update was preparing a Dos usb device and boot executing Chgbiosf BIO0076T.com and it worked.
when I tried to update the Ec using Chgbiosf EC72V200.BIN it says that the file does not exist.
So, this is the status of the problem. I don't know if anyone can help, but I fear that th Tecra S11 will blow up anytime soon if this continues.
Thanks.

Random High Speed Fan

For the few of us that have this problem (Main fans randomly go to full speed and usually will not slow down until computer is completely shut down and started again) You should get your original cds that came with your mac and put in disk one and run the extended diagnostic test. When I did this I came up with the error: 4SNS/1/40000001:VMBS. A call to apple has a tech scheduled to replace the logic board. I know it is an easy problem to ignore, but you might as well do it now before your warranty runs out! If anybody has had a different solution to this, please post.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The first thing you should try is to reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 This will reset the fan speed, so it should be working again.
If after doing that, your iMac keeps turning off automatically, you should take the Mac to an Apple Store because it looks like a hardware issue

Bypass High Speed fan tray req for Sup720

Anyone use the command to disabled this feature? What's the command? What's the procedure (boot ROM)? How long can the system run without causing damage? Immediate need to boot until high fan tray can be delivered.

The command is ALLOWANYFAN=1 in ROMMON. I did not have to use set to add variable, but use it to view. I'm not sure if it's case sensitive. I used all upper case and alarm indicators went out on sup module. Here's some log outout. Notice the temp rising. (The chassis powered down sup module after approx. 5 minutes without these commands. Notice the logg buff output warnings).

Adobe Reader X triggers high speed fan in Qosmio F750

Has anybody experienced this? When certain .pdf files are opened it triggers the fan to start blowing air inside the laptop. Will not stop until reboot or close down. Not all .pdf files do this - think it is about 50%. This laptop has done this since bought in June 2012.
Anybody got any ideas?

Ive never heard about that. Is this issue related to pdf files and Adobe Reader only or you have noticed that some specific actions or when more different applications are open this happen.
Before you open it next time try to close some useless processes in task manager and check please if this will happen again.
Please post some feedback.

HT201295 Late 2009 Intel iMac Needs Frequent SMC reset - constant high speed running fan

Late 2009 Intel iMac is having reoccurring episodes of high speed fan running, especially after waking it up. The SMC reset by unplug and reboot works, but I worry that this is a serious sign and that the machine is slowly dying. Any thoughts? Works fine otherwise.

Hi Speed Fan Running

All of a sudden the high speed fan is on and don't know how to correct or verify status. Ran permissions. I do have disk warrior if that is germain?

Sorted this out thru research on intel imac's. Found a thread talking about resetting SMC (System Mgmt Controller). Essentially the fix is holding down the power button and shutting down the IMAC. Then unplug power cord. "A reset".
I knew the IMAC was not overheating and have never heard the fan going full tilt?
Hopefully this will help others at a later time. BTW the IMAC just had it's 1st birthday without a problem.

HP Compaq 615 | no pwm-capable sensor modules | fans at max speed

Hi,
I have installed archlinux on an old HP Compaq 615 laptop, everything is working fine, but I have problems with the fan speed. After installing lm_sensors, configuring the sensors with sensors_detect resulted in this:
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 11h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `to-be-written':
* Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00'
Busdriver `i2c_piix4', I2C address 0x4c
Chip `SMSC EMC1402' (confidence: 6)
Driver `adm1021':
* Bus `SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00'
Busdriver `i2c_piix4', I2C address 0x4e
Chip `Maxim MAX1617' (confidence: 3)
Note: there is no driver for SMSC EMC1402 yet.
Check http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices for updates.
Running pwmconfig leads to the error:
/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
If I execute sensors, I get this:
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +51.4°C (high = +70.0°C)
(crit = +100.0°C, hyst = +95.0°C)
max1617-i2c-5-4e
Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 0b00
temp1: +0.0°C (low = +0.0°C, high = +0.0°C)
temp2: +51.0°C (low = +45.0°C, high = +60.0°C)
The fans are blowing at max speed, and the sensors are not providing information on fanspeed. I have found multiple threads on this topic, and tried the following:
Turning OFF/ON the option "Fan always on while on AC power" .
Passing the parameter "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to the kernel via GRUB.
That didn't help. If I list the modules and search for k10
lsmod | grep k10
k10temp 12588 0
hwmon 12930 3 k10temp,adm1021,radeon
It seems that k10temp is loaded and used to show the sensor temperatures. On the fancontrol page of the ArchWiki, there were tips on increasing fan_div, but the problem was for me to find the chipset name.
The reported chipset `adm-1021` is not available in `/etc/sensors3.conf`, only `adm-1025`. Also, what's up with
Driver `to-be-written':
result of `sensors-detect`? Is there any way to stop the fans from blowing at full speed for HP Compaq 615?

I just tried turning ACPI off, by passing `acpi=off` kernel parameter in the /etc/defaults/grub:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=off"
The fans were dead afterwards, but as the warning on the Acpi Modules Wiki Site states
2. "Easy" Put acpi=off in the kernel line in your bootloader's configuration file, but that will kill all ACPI functionality like battery charging and power saving.
killing all ACPI functionality for HP Compaq has left me without the synaptics touchpad and the keyboard. I found on the Ubuntu Community Wiki - Boot Options that `noacpi` shuold be equivalent to `acpi=off`. That sounded weird, so I checked The Kernel Documentation:
acpi= [HW,ACPI,X86]
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Format: { force | off | strict | noirq | rsdt }
force -- enable ACPI if default was off
off -- disable ACPI if default was on
noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
strictly ACPI specification compliant.
rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
noacpi [X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
or for PCI scanning.
Seeing that the options are in fact different, I tried the `noacpi` thinking that "disabling the use of ACPI for IRQ routing or for PCI scanning" ( I have no clue what that means ) might just do the trick. So back to `/etc/default/grub`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noacpi"
I updated the grub.cfg with
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and removed: acpid, Cpu Frequency Scaling, and I cleaned up `mkinitcpio.conf` of everything :
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""
rebuilt the kernel with `mkinitcpio -p linux` and rebooted. It seems to be working. What I don't know is why. Anyway, I wanted to post this in case someone comes across the same problem with HP Compaq <615> k10temp driver. I still get the error
/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
so I can only guess that for this specific laptop, there is an IRQ problem, and using `noacpi` solves it. This is the 6th time I've rebooted without hearing the fans at max, when I use the machine, the fan speed is adjusted for the tempereature, even without pwmconfig/fancontrol. My guess is that BIOS is doing it, if someone knows more about this stuff, I would like to hear abuot it. I'll use the machine for the next few days, if the fans behave properly, I'll mark the thread solved.

Compaq Presario model SR5710F hangs/freezes when cpu cooling fan switches to higher speed

Compaq Presario SR5710F with AMD Athlon X2 4450e dual core micro-processor - after the desktop has been on for a little while, I can hear the cpu cooling fan switch to a higher speed. As soon as the fan changes speed, the PC locks up. Power off/on is only option to recover. A precursory inspection did not reveal any noticeable build-up of dust/debris around case fan or cpu fan. Any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello DTCothren,
You state whenever your CPU fan goes to a higher speed the computer locks up, is that corret? I will try to assist you with this issue.
I would recommend you open up the hardware diagnostic tool on your computer, and run a full system test. This test does take some time so just allow it to run. If you not sure how to locate the program have a look at this document.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

No fan control on Notebook (Compaq 615)

I have a Compaq 615 (Athlon 64 X2 QL-64) Notebook with latest AMD Driver and AMD Overdrive for monitoring.
I use it as a Sufing and Office Notebook on university. Unfortunately the fan is permanently running, although the temperatur fluctuates between 45 and 53°C.
The fan starts around 50° C and stops at 45°C.
The maximum operating temperature of this CPU is around 100°C
There shoud be an option in BIOS or AMD Overdrive to control the fan steppings (for example --> start (lowest fan speed) from 60 - 65° --> and so on)
I guess, this could save energy (the permanently running fan needs energy) and convenient (quiet) working would be able.
So AMD pleas help me (us) to implent such a tool.
With hope for support
bertl

Exactly the same behaviour on my machine running Ubuntu 9.10. I think a more adaptive control algorithm would do the job, so that the fan speed stays more in more in relation the heat instead of stopping and starting after a few seconds again on a quite noisy level ...
Where is the BIOS update that will help here, please?

Mac running slow and fan running at high speed

MacPro1,1, osx 10.7.5, 8gb ram
My mac is running slow and fan running at high speed & very loud. On MRI diagnostic it passes everything except this error "CPU Proximity: Can't Read ". I did low level configuration and still having issue with unit.

See Below.
Mac running slow and fan running at high speed

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Garage Band '11. This error happens occasionally : I am forced to power-off-on. Pop-up states that error info will be sent to apple. I never hear back from apple. Second prob: Fan sometimes comes on, runs high speed, then slowly stops.

Garage Band '11: pop-up error forces me to power off-on. Message states that info will be sent to Apple.
I never hear back from anyone about this.
Second prob: Fan sometimes comes on, runs high speed, then slowly runs down and stops running.

First thing to do is a SMC Reset, you can find instructions at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!!
Then try Repairing Disk Permissions, do this at least 2x. You will find this in Disk Utility which is located in Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility.
Finally you may need to uninstall Garage Band and reinstall. You may have to use Pacifist to do this, you can find it at:

Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
Thanks.

Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime

Why does my fan go into high speed noisy mode sometimes when I'm not actually doing anything on my laptop?
