HP pavillion DV6 laptop fan isn't running to the max

As of late my DV6 laptop's fans aren't running at max rpm as they should be during heavy loads like gaming or video processing. It'll run normally and keep on gaining heat until it hits 80 degrees celcius by searching the web, yet the fan will still be at maybe 20-30% running capacity. When running games, it often drops my fps from 100% of its max capacity to mabye 30 to 40%. Is there a fix for this problem? I've already tried running all options of hp coolsense and I might try and get compressed air to air out the vents.

Also apparenlty according to speedfan my GPU fan speed is 0 rpm. Could that attribute to the lack of fan speed?

Pavillion dv6, loud fan

I have a Pavillion dv6 and ive only had it a couple days, but when i run it plugged into the power, it runs really loudly. i was wondering if thats the laptop, or is something wrong? It dosent heat up easily, nor is the noise constant so it like fluctuates, so im not ssure what it is. any help would be very welcome. thankyou.

You will see from my many posts, that this is a bad design issue, that HP wont resolve!
Ive tried everything!
So I try and always have music or the tv loud so I dont have to hear the annoying fan revving.
If it wasnt for the fan, my dv6 3158ca would be perfect, but My next laptop wont be a HP.
I wish laptops had noise ratings the way air con units do, as when in the store theres too much nosie so you cant hear the fan.
Maybe one day HP will fix this with a new bios, but Ive been waiting 7 months, and sure ill be waiting 7 more!

Toshiba a205-s4577 laptop fan stops and runs continuously

my laptop fan keeps running it stops for a second then again runs,even when I am not using the laptop.
please advise

Hi.
I failed to configure xorg.conf to get "static" dual head configuration, but I managed to do this with xrandr
2 tricks i had to do:
1. define sufficiently large "Virtual" size in "Display" subsection in "Screen" Section of your xorg.conf
2. xrandr -q allowed me to use 1024x768 maximum resolution, but I found in google setup for 1280x1024 and added it with "newmode" and "addmode" options in randr...
you can find more info at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html, and in xrandr manpage.
I hope it will help...

HP Laptop Fan Isn't Working

I have an HP Laptop, model G62-367Dx. A couple days ago, my laptop would turn on, work for 15-minutes, then freeze and shut down. Looking around on the internet, I found forums suggesting my vent and fan may need dusting. So, I bought compressed air and dusted out my vents.
After cleaning my laptop, I tried turning it on, only to find the same results. When I restarted it, I saw the following message on the screen:
"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)"
While my computer was running, I examine the fan to see that it was not turning at all. Is there anyway I can get the fan turning again? Or do I have to replace my fan or computer?

I am also facing the same issue and the same error as you explained.Can any one help...

DVD drive not working on my HP Pavillion DV6 Laptop - Error code 52

While troubleshooting my non-functioning DVD drive, I noted the following error message under properties of my DVDRAM GT30L: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
I tried running troubleshooter & uninstalling/reinstalling the software, to no avail. I am unaware of any recent changes made to my configuration and have MacAfee installed/running (it did locate a malicious code a few weeks ago & remove). Thank you for any advice!

I am having same problem Brand new HP Pavilion g-7 1222mr Notebook PC and DVD drive just wont work. No changes to systme. Brand new laptop. I am waiting for help too. I have tried everything. I occasionally get a pop up that says to insert a disc. but the disc is in there. It is not recognizing the disc is inserted. So dang frustrated as I be you are. I am new to forum so hope to get some help here.

Hello, @OSUOkie65
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having issues with the fingerprint reader when logging into Windows. I will try to assist you with this.
You should still be able to type the password to login, can you? Does it let you log in? If not then you'll want to follow this: Forgotten password and other sign-in problems.
If you're using Windows 8/8.1, it could be your email password if you setup a Windows live account.
You may have to go into the Simplepass software and change the password there as well, to ensure the correct password is attached to the finger print.
Start with this and let me know how it goes.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Okay, let's check the following:
>> Do you see the DVD drive listed in "Computer" explorer? double click on it to open.
>> Do you see the DVD drive listed in the device manager??
(Click Start and type "device" in the search field, then select Device Manager >> check for CD/DVD drive listing.)
>> Is the DVD drive listed in the BIOS?
(Restart Your PC and start tapping F10 key, once you are in setup screen go to boot options, check for the listed devices)

Laptop fan runs all the time, broker runtime cpu usage after Windows 10 final upgrade

ENVY 17t-J100 Leap Motion, 16 GB RAM, i7, SSD primary, HDD secondary drives. Avast antivirus free. Windows Firewall. The laptop had Windows 8.1 and everything was great. I did the Windows 10 Home free upgrade on Day 1. Everything seemed fine. Fingerprinter reader and everything works. Great. But then I noticed that the fan was always running and the left side of the metal casing gets hot. In task manager heat map sorted by CPU usage, Broker Runtime is at the top. Not much ram, about 10 MB. But the CPU usage is always 20% and higher. Doesn't seem like much. But it makes the fan run all the time and the laptop heats up with it running all the time. Anyone else seen this? General internet searching shows this has been an issue with Broker Runtime since Windows 8 and not unique to any brand of computer. But it wasn't like this when I was using WIndows 8.1 One forum said it was the P2P Windows update feature and my laptop was sharing updates. So I disabled that and rebooted. No change. Now I see some people saying it is the Live Tiles features in the Start Menu. But I had live tiles with the WIndows 8 menu and no issues. The only way to disable Live Tiles globally is to edit the registry, and I shouldn't have to do that for this. And I like Live Tiles. So not sure that really is the issue either.

Pavillion DV6 2020sa bios corrupt, wont take recovery. please help.

hi, thanks to anyone that has any input on this problem its much appriciated,
I am looking at my brothers laptop, pavillion DV6 2020sa he had a virus lock the screen, he held the power button to switch it off, upon reboot he gets the blank screen and flashing leds (2 flashes) upon lookin up it says bios corrupt, i have downloaded the bios from HP tis 3635.bin and have put in on a USB drive, the sticker under the battery also says 3635, so im confident i have the right one.
I then hold the win + B button and then power, it starts, and shortly after the USB stick light up and flashes, then stops, then flashes again, at that point i get 6 beeps, then silence, then i get 5 slow beeps, i have read this is meant to happen, but then its meant to resart, and this is the bit that dont happen, it dont do anything, when i restart it, it just does the same flashing lights.
am i doing something wrong, or something im missing.
Thanks again for any help.
Jamie.

You will need an eeprom programmer to reprogram a new BIOS chip with a fresh BIOS file. It takes a special hot air tool to successsfully remove and replace a notebook BIOS chip. This is not just normal soldering. This is what real electronics technicians and workers at an electronics R&D lab and workers on the assembly line at manufacturer do. Unless you just happen to be an electronics enthusiast or engineer, and I am guessing you are not since you asked these questions, this may be out of your league. If you feel adventurous and have your brother's permission to use his notebook as a guinea pig...go for it! It is not as easy as the guy in the video made it look. He is a trained technician and does it for a living.

the fan always runs, usually you cant hear it. Right now my fan is running at 1996RPM and I would know it was on unless I checked.vv Is is running loud all the time?

Does GeForce 7350LE video card fan run all the time or at certain temperatures?

I have a HP Pavilion m8147c Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz 3GB Ram and when running lately the monitor has started to go into sleep mode or something.Sometimes there is a warning that says something like no signal from DVI and one more but doesn't stay on long enough to read it all.I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.I had just installed a new game but pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I used System Restore and backed up to a time before it was installed.At first it was only when playing games but now it happens with hardly anything running.This pc was bought in july 2007 and I have another desktop but I let my wife use one and I use the other.I opened the case and cleaned out all the dust but noticed when I started it up again the fan is not running on the video card.I don't know if it comes on at certain temps or runs all the time but I feel this is the problem.It has been on for about an hour and not come on at all.Any information will be appreciated.

Hello captna, Usually when you purchase a new video card or other hardware device, the drivers that are included on the CD are an older version, sometimes as much as six months old. The chipset on any Brand of a given model would be either an Nvidia or an AMD ATI.
The chipset is the main component of the video card that controls most of the operations of the video card.
Since all the manufacturers of the Nvidia video cards use the chipset purchased from Nvidia, they are all the same chipset for any particular model. The different manufacturers can and do add or enable features for their particular cards, but the chipset is still the same.
Since the drivers from the manufacturer would be an older version, and Nvidia releases new versions quite often, it would be best to use the Nvidia drivers, since they would have updated fixes and sometimes features, and added support for some newer cards.
Your reference to the Memory Interface on both cards is 64 bit, has nothing to do with your version of the operating system. It just relates to the way, and speed of the interaction of the video card with the system (buss).
The higher the number of the Memory Interface, the more data that can be moved in and out of the video card, which results in a faster video performance. This just becomes important when playing games for the most part.
Using the system just for web surfing, emailing and some light gaming, would not have that much effect on the system.
More important to the system would be the amount of video card onboard memory. The Gigabyte has 1 GB of onboard memory compared to your original video card with 128 MBs of memory. This additional memory would likely show a slight performance increase in any light gaming.
You want see much, if any difference in the performance of your system, with the exception of perhaps the light gaming performance increase, with the new Gigabyte video card over the GeForce 7350LE. You should not experience the heat related issue as you had with the faulty fan on the GeForce 7350LE.
You can go into your personal settings on the Forum and select to not receive the email notices when someone responds to one of your post. Several years ago while on the Dell Community Forum, I would receive over a hundred emails every day until I disabled this feature.

Where can i get hp pavillion dv6 1370ev motherboard

where can i get hp pavillion dv6 1370ev motherboard?

This manual shows the motherboards in the dv6 series.
Match the part number to the configuration of the notebook you plan on installing it in.
If you have already removed it, look for the part number and match it to what you see in the manual I linked to. Just do an online search for HP pavilion dv6 -1370ev replacement motherboard with Google or Bing to find a vendor with the best price. If you purchase it through HP Partsurfer you will pay much more than market price.

T61 fan runs all the time on AC, does not when on battery

Hello,
with the lastest BIOS (and those before) my T61's (8889) fan runs all the time when it is AC powered. (After initial start it begins with 0, then ~2500 rpm, then ~3100 rpm and then stays there even if idle).
When on battery under the same circumstances, it doesn't go above ~2500rpm (which is far less noisy then the ~3100rpm level) and often it even stops.
As far as the BIOS settings allow, it is trimmed to max. power saving also when AC powered but still it's getting on my nerves.
Can Lenovo please look into this and make it as quiet as it is on battery also when on AC?
P.S. I cannot see that the temperature levels as reported through ACPI are any higher on AC then on battery, so I don't understand why the fan has to run all the time that loud when on AC.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
There are two options for you to consider:
1) Better CPU speed management:
- Install a utility called "RMClock" to better manage the CPU (it's a free utility that throttles the CPU to run at different speeds depending on the needs - the CPU speeds increase automatically to full power when required).
- By regulating the CPU speed, the fan will not need to work that often to expell hot air, because the CPU generates much less heat.
- you will find a quick "how-to" for using RMClock --> HERE
2) BIOS thermal management
- You can change the BIOS settings for the "thermal management" (enter BIOS, choose "Config", then "Thermal Management" ) . Change the fan control from "performance" to "battery optimized" under the "plugged-in" option. This will reduce the frequency with which the fan runs, but beware that if your system is plugged in and you're not using any CPU management - meaning that your CPU is running at full speed, then the system will heat up more than you'll be comfortable with!!
I would therefore suggest that you use a CPU throttling management utility (like RMClock mentioned above) together with the thermal management option in your BIOS. This will reduce the frequency with which the fan starts and operates but still keeping the system cool.
A completely different approach is to install and use "Thinkpad Fan Control" -- read this thread ... Be aware that the utility takes a lot of tweaking to get the settings right, but also be aware that you can damage your system if you do not make the right settings!!!
Hope this helps!
Steve
