HP G6000 Overheatin​g

Hi, I have a two year old HP G6000 that's been getting steadily hotter. I opened it up last week to replace the thermal gel and clear out the dust - but it's still hot!
I've checked and the battery's not on the recall list, Speedfan gives me these temperatures:
GPU 64C
HDO 53C
Temp1 70C
Core 50C
And when I open a memory heavy app
GPU 69C
HDO 51C
Temp1 70C
Core 58C
I don't know how to interpret these results - any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hello,
I decided to sacrifice a little bit of performance for the sake of cool temperatures and silent fan. I have HP DV6, with AMD Turion RM-74 and HD4650.
So, Yes, You will loose up to 15 percent Your CPU power, but heyh, this processor is so fast that You will barelly notice the change. You will still watch HD content with 720p and everything else smoothly. Note, that gaming will be harder part but consider Your laptop not as a device created for heavy gaming.
At one point or another, during games, someday Your notebook inevitably colapse. It's just not meant for gaming, no matter what the specs are...
No more overheating.
So, how to reduce Your notebook temps:
(i) Power Options -> More power options,
(ii) Balanced plan -> Change settings,
(iii) Change advanced power settings
(iv) Processor power management -> Maximum processor state -> On Battery - 50 percent, Plugged in - 85 percent.
(vi) Save changes and close.
Now, mine temperatures are - idle 48, heavy load - 57, extremelly heavy load (HD 720p content) - 62-63. (At the moment my CPU cores are at 47 celsius).
CPU still works fast, not so fast as it is working on 100 percent, but hey, fan is silent, and if You want gaming - go to Your desktop pc, leave notebook for lighter tasks, even though the notebooks specs are high,
it simply cannot handle the heat.
Best regards.

    Hi,
    Try a hard reset as follows:
    1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
    3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
    4) Press the power button

  • HP G6000 re booting problem and restore wont complete

    Hi
    I have a HP G6000 which is my daughters machine. Been working ok but she tells me last night that its broken and keeps restarting. Tried hard reset etc but same thing.
    So i decided to back up data by booting to safe mode and copying her stuff to external hard drive. Then proceeded to do a factory restore from the reapir partition. This loads and the machine sat their al night whilst it did this without doing any rebooting or problames etc. Anyway when i hit the finish tab it reboots trys to load windows and then hit me with a error message (presumably whilst it tries to finish the install) about a parse error. I have had a number of different error messages about failed installation etc but so far been unable to repair the installation.
    I have run both the bios memory checks and HDD checks and the aslo the HP versions on the restore partition. Both say passed all tests.
    Can anyone provide some guidance on what is going wrong?
    Thanks
    Kevin

    A video driver isn't going to cause F11 not to work or to not finish the recovery. If the F11 is not working to the point of getting back to the original desktop in a factory state, then it is a deeper issue.
    Look at it this way. An F11 recovery restores the C: image from the recovery image (D drive). The recovery image contains the exact same software the unit came with out of the box. If it was a software issue, such as the driver, the exact same issue would have been present from day one. I take it the system worked fine out of the box when it was first purchased.
    I have seen this too many times and there are two things that will cause the parse error: hardware or corrupted partition (since this is where the F11 recovery gets the software from). Since you tried using the F11 and this is failing consistently and the two major hardware components that cause recovery issues has passed (memory and hard drive), I do not believe it is a driver issue at this point. My professional opinion and experience with these issues tells me that the recovery disks should take care of this issue. This is especially true if the error is occurring before you can get through the Windows setup (sounds like it is not getting to that point).
    However, I will wait to see the result of your work IT person as I could be wrong.
    To verify, the recovery was started with nothing but the battery and the charger cord?  Also, no keys were pressed once the recovery started until prompted?
    Let me know the result.

  • Hp g6000 compatible different motherboard

    Hello, I've got an HP g6000 and also an hp compaq v6500. Both their motherboards have failed but they both look the same models from the outside. I am unable to find some decently priced second hand working motherboards for those models, although I have found a motherboard for a HP COMPAQ PRESARIO F700.
    I have read somewhere that the f700 and the g6000 have the same motherboard.
    Would someone please tell me if I buy 2 motherboards for the f700, will they fit and be compatible with all the components of a g6000 and v6500 casing?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Eddy1,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    I could give you the part number but to make sure it is the correct part that will fit your computer I would need the serial numbers for both so I could compare the specs. If you had the information for the New Motherboards that would be an asset as well. Please review the HP Privacy Statement . Then send it to me in  a private message.
    Please let me know.

  • Product Specification or Technical Specification for a HP G6000 laptop?

    Does anyone have or know where I might find the Product Specification or Technical Specification for a HP G6000 laptop? I'm particularly interested in the hard drive installed. My daughters laptop HD has crashed so I can't even boot it up to find the HD spec., and although I have removed it, I find it is a Toshiba HDD2D62 120GB Sata 2.5". I can't find a similar one anywhere or a website that provides a suitable compatible HD. Any suggestions anyone?

    Hi,
    The laptop is probably a SATA I one so SATA (not SATA II)  hard drives should work on the laptop. I believe that any SATA hdd up to 160GB should work.

  • HP Pavilion Laptop G6000 - Format without working DVD drive

    I have a HP Pavilion Laptop from the G6000 series which I bought about 3 years ago and has worked brilliantly until recently when the DVD drive was no longer recognised, after trying a number of online suggestions to fix it it was not showing up in the registry and so I decided to give up and I bought a usb drive which has been fine so far.  However, It has not been formatted since I bought it and is getting rather slow and I have managed to aquire a pop up / virus thing called click potato which is slowing it down further.  I want to format it and have all my files backed up on an external hard drive but without a working CD drive will it be possible to reboot (I've been told it wont recognise the USB one in this state? 
    I also don't have the original boot disks it came with but it has a "recovery" partition built in.  Is there anyway I can format and reinstall windows without this working equipment?
    Thanks

    Tapping F11 at the HP bios splash screen should start the restore process.

  • Overheatin​g Qosmio x505 - Fixed!

    My Nividia GT 250m GPU on my x505 q850 was idling at 84'C.  I was worried that it could be a costly repair but found a simple cheap solution.  Simply reverse the airflow and remove the dust.  The dust got in there from one direction to reverse it.  Now my GPU idles at 64'C.  The normal airflow is in through the bottom fan and out the back heatsink.  So reverse it with a strong current of air.  See steps below.
    Instructions:
    -Get vacuum cleaner with suction hose attachment
    -Get canned air
    -Turn laptop off, turn it upside down, and take out battery
    -Turn on vacuum cleaner suction hose and stick it on the bottom fan of the laptop on one side (one fan on each side)
    -While holding the vacuum on the fan, on the heat sink on the back of the laptop on the same side blast the canned air into the heat sink moving back and forth on the heat sink to evenly clean it.  This will break loose stubborn dust.
    -clean to satisfaction
    -repeat on the other fan and heat sink on the other side of the laptop.
    -Suction other vented areas if you desire.
    -Enjoy!

    I wish I had thought to join this forum 2 years ago!  I have a Tosihba M305-S4830.   At present it is all but dead.  The temperature rises from 64 to 90 degrees within 15 minutes and then shuts down.  I am going to try your solution and hope I can get more life out of it.  Was this a permanent solution?  How often do you have to do it?
    Thanks for sharing!

  • Upgraded T500 with T9600 CPU - now overheatin​g

    I recently upgraded my T500 laptop from P8600 to T9600 CPU. Now I have a problem with the CPU overheating and the laptop shuts down after reaching critical temperature of 100 C. "Idle" (5-10%) temp is usually around 43-44 C.
    I used the Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste and first I thought I may had applied too much of it (judging by online pics compared to how much I used). So I opened up again and I could see the previous paste actually had overflowed over the mirror area, so I cleaned it and re-applied with about half the amount. But if anything, it has only made it worse and now overheating even more often. 
    Both times I have waited the break-in period of over 200 hours, but it made no difference. 
    If I use cpuburn and burn both cores at 100% over several minutes, then the temp peaks and is stable at around only 80 C. The problem is during normal usage, where CPU fluctuates up and down near 95-100%, then it peaks at 96 C very quickly. So it makes me wonder if it may be a fan control problem?
    Another thing I noticed, core 2 is always a lot cooler (15-20 C) than core 1, so if core 1 recorded max 96 C then core 2 usually recorded at 80 C max. Is this normal?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There are instances of this behavior in systems with bent, curved or unevenly pressured cooling surfaces. There is also the possibility of a faulty CPU. Lastly, the overheating problem might be a result of bad power management from the operating system, or again, bad application of thermal paste, too little pressure of the contact plate of the heatsink on the cpu, or a bent contact plate.
    Since nedenom says he has been carefull with most of  these aspects I think there are three possibilities left:
    a) faulty cpu
    b)Improper cleaning and application of thermal paste
    c)problematic power management (which could explain overheating but not core's delta)
    I would as a first step remove again the cooling system, clean all parts thourougly with isopropyl alcohol 99% and then apply only the smallest quantity (less than a grain of rice) of AS5 on the middle of the cpu before replacing the heatsink.

  • Hp g6000 dvd drive not detected in my computer, tried registry fix and still not working.

    Hi i have a hp g6093ea laptop and for a couple of weeks now i have had my dvd drive dissapear from my computer.
    i have the tried the registry thing where you delete the upper and lower filters and then restart laptop.
    it worked then couple days later it  was gone  again. 
    i have removed the dvd from laptop and clean the connection and put it back still the same.
    i was told to remove any burning programs and reinstall so i did that and the drive came back then after reboot went again.
    the dvd drive ejects and has power and attempts to read the disk but its just not detected in my computer.
    i have even been into the bios and put cd drive as boot first.,
    then put my bootable xp pro disk in and it wont boot from the bios.
    so i thought i would try an external drive to boot from bios, and it doesnt boot from there either.
    i have had the drive randomly pop up in my computer and then after a restart it would be gone again.
    so i cant put a fresh install on my laptop and  i dont know what else i can do.
    any help
    thanks

    How old is your laptop?
    Have you had any other problems, besides the dvd drive, in the past few months?

  • Hp g6000 no longer working no start up can you help?

    Laptop just switched off whilst working and will not restart.Is this fault repairable?

    Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly.  Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
    To Perform A Hard Reset
    Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for  5 seconds)
    Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
    Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook.  There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
    Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
    Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.
