NEW 3 week old HP Pavilion dv6, cooling fan always running

Hi the cooling fan in this laptop always seems to be running fast enough to be irritating, it was like this out of the box, other laptops I have had usually only run the fan during periods of heavy CPU usage but this one is running fast all the time. Any ideas, and dust in the vents is not the problem, BIOS ?

I also have the same problem. 8 month old HP Pavillion DV6. Bios updated and air vents cleaned. Fan runs constantly even without any load on pc'n.
Installed programme Core Temp to see temperatures and fan runs even at a temp. of 41C. Bios has a function to disable fan from running all the time, but even then, the fan seems to run almost constantly, plus the standard setting for Bios is to have fan runing constantly enabled. Would be greatful for any help/suggestions. This seems to be a problem for this pc when searcing for solutions on the Web.

Qosmio F30-112: cooling fan is running very fast

Hi,
I want to ask somebody thier, my laptop qosmio F30 -112 recently every time i start my computer i heard that the cooling fan is running very fast (i mean) it wasn't stop unlike before its running smooth only i heard it when i playing games but not continuous, then after that my computer now running slow.
Somebody can help me what im going to do?
thanks: rtmasagca

Hi
F30 is a little bit older notebook series I think about 3 years old or older... did you clean the cooling modules in the meantime?
I think there is a lot of dust and debris inside the notebook and I think this prevents the air from circulation and therefore the fans run faster.
Try compressed air spray this should help to remove dust and debris.
Good luck

Cooling fans constantly run @ full speed after replacing the upper CPU??

After replacing the upper CPU on a Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Dual 1.8Ghz PowerPC, model M9454LL/A, all the cooling fans constantly run at full speed. All other operations are normal.
I've read, "...after replacing or switching CPU locations the Logic Board doesn't properly recognize the CPU's in their new location and a "Thermal Calibration" is needed". Could a "Thermal Calibration" possibly correct the constant full fan speed issue?
What software would be required?

Hi-
Could a "Thermal Calibration" possibly correct the constant full fan speed issue?
Yes.
What software would be required?
The Apple Service Diagnostic disc (ASD) of the proper version for your machine.
Call an authorized Apple service provider and arrange a calibration, as the disc is not readily available to individuals.

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.

Satellite P100-347: After 4.10 BIOS update fan always runs at maximum

Hi!
I have an P100-347 and had graphics stuttering problems while playing games. By updating BIOS 4.0 to 4.10 it solve the stuttering problem!!!
Now my fan always runs at maximum, It never ideals.
It's still the same even when i chooes lowconsumption configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only updated the bios.
I have alsow tested with the latest intel chipset divers and Nvidia driver and it is still the same.
So my conclution is the BIOS, does Toshiba know anything about this issue and working on a newer bios?
Kind Regards Ismael

Everything points that the BIOS 4.10 is the common issue to the always high speed of the graphical fan even when the laptob is in standby mode.
I want to see some action like a new revise of the BIOS 4.10!

My fan always runs on my macbook, any tips?

Currently I have my macbook on a clean desk with good ventilation, but my fan always runs, even if there are no programs open. I've reset the SMC, and checked that theres no printing jobs in the printing queue but no luck. I've had this macbook for about a year and a half and have used it a ton since then. I dont want anything to burn out or break in my laptop. Any tips? thanks

I have the same problem on my late 2008 Macbook white 2.1 GHz Intel duo, running 10.5.8. I had read in another post here that I should check Activity Monitor and I did so. The first time I tried, as soon as I launched AM the fan stopped. I then left AM open and the next time the fan started (I was online, doing nothing in particular - I did have 4 or 5 panels open though) I checked AM and the process that came at the top of the list with 90-odd CPU usage was kernel_task. I quit AM and then launched it again and the fan stopped, with kernel_task taking up about 2% of the CPU and Safari around 30%.
What's going on? Hardware? Software?

Blue tinted screen, menory problems, underperforming battery - 5 day old HP pavilion dv6-6005sa

I bought a new HP Pavilion dv6-6005sa 15.6" Laptop - Linen White on 14/06/11 from Currys digital, Arndale Centre, Manchester. The laptop is less than 1 week old.
The screen is a frost blue colour from the second I turn it on to the second it is turned off. Weirdly I can see the entire screen, just that everything is blue!! Does anybody know how this can happen??? When I move the screen it flickers from normal to this blue thing. A loose connection maybe?
I am unhappy as I got to send it back to the shop for a under 21 days replacement involving an expensive airmail delivery :@ The alternative would be a 3 week investigation in the lab which I cant be bothered with!
Has anybody else experienced this phenomenon with a HP laptop screen? I also am beginning to experience memory problems and the usb prots are on the blink. I have looked after it very well, it has just been sat on a desk for 5 days! Can anybody explain me this phenomenon and if it is a comon problem with HP laptops?
Now for the next problem as if a faulty screen and memory cache wouldnt be enough! The battery:
The battery specs are as follows:
Lithium-Ion 6-cell battery
'upto 7.5 hours battery life'
The battery is advertised to perform 'upto 7.5 hours' however I get maximum 4.5 hours doing absolutely nothing on power saver mode with the laptop with it just sitting there idle on a desk. At the same time I also had wireless and bluetooth off; screen brightness set to 0%, maximum processing chip power reduced to 20%; battery saver mode active; all major applications closed).
I get maximum 2-3 hours doing basic tasks with it such as word processing. Gaming I get maximum 1.5 hours.
The battery checker displays the following:
Status: Ok (0)
warrenty type: 1 year
cycle count 0
manufacturer: 13-42
battery age 136 days

AC Power: True
CT Number: N\A
I have highlighted in bold the things I thing are suspicious. I feel the results are those of a malfunctioning battery. Could anybody tell me if I am correct withmy assumptions?
As I am no expert coes anybody reading this think these results are normal for a new battery and can you provide me some insight to wether my battery might be faulty or not?
Basically I think at least one of the 6 cells inside the battery are malfunctioning.

Go to Power Options in the Control panel and select the Power Saver option. Do not choose balanced. Then run your battery capacity tests again. Hopefully the new setting will improve the time that you get.

[HELP] HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa fan - abnormal whirring and grinding noises even after replacement

Product: HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
Operating system: Windows 7 64bit
BIOS version: F.1 C (current) 01-2013
My laptop fan started making a very loud grinding and whirring noise constantly (very loud, easily heard in other rooms from the laptop) and after cleaning out with compressed air with no improvement I decided to get the fan replaced as it was clearly worn out in some way. (This laptop fan has always been loud, but never making this sort of grinding sound).
Replacement fan was ordered directly from HP and installed. However, while the noise is much quieter, the fan is still making a constant sort of whirring/very low grinding noise which gets louder and changes pitch whenever the fan kicks up to a higher speed. While the laptop is now at least useable, this noise is still annoying after being on for a long time and I did not expect it to still have the same problem after fully replacing the fan.
Since then I have looked online for solutions and similar problems, having since flashed the BIOS to the latest version, checked both the hard drive and memory in the BIOS (both proved fine) and tried switching between having the fan mode set to always on or not always on in the BIOS and messing around with HP coolsense. None of these have helped remove this constant whirring sound.
Now this laptop fan has always been loud. That I am ok with, I know the sound of a loud, yet working fan drawing air, but this is not the same sound. The fan is still drawing air sufficiently and keeping the system temperature down to an acceptable level, but this constant whirring noise is annoying when having to work on the laptop.
[In Summary]
-HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa Laptop fan had loud whirring/grinding noise
-Fan was replaced
-Noise reduced and grinding somewhat gone, but whirring and some grinding remains even with the new fan from HP
Any help would be great, I have tried to include as much information regarding the problem as I can but if there is anything else needed dont hesitate to ask and I can try to provide such information as required.
Michal.

Also, when the fan is running at higher speeds the whirring/grinding noise is quieter and less noticable than when it is running at very low speeds... When running at very very high speeds (while playing games) the fan sounds almost the same as my old one when it was still working, and at high speeds its more a whirring humm... Then at lower speeds it goes back to a more low whirring/grinding.
Not sure if this helps but its just something I've noticed... Any help with this problem?

HP Pavilion dv6 2122eo fan running almost constantly

On my now 12 month old HP dv5 2122eo running windows 7 64-bit home edition, the fan runs almost constantly, and has done so since purchase, even without any load on the pc.
Installed programme Core Temp to see temperatures, and the fan runs even at a temp. of 41C. Bios has a function to disable fan from running all the time, but even after disabling this in Bios, the fan still runs almost constantly. Would be grateful for any help/suggestions. This seems to be a problem for this pc when searching for solutions on the Web.

Andrew,
You can't control the fan speed/function directly on HP laptops. If you haven't updated the BIOS then try that. Also, here's some other stuff to try.

Hi, my iphone just died I cannot charge it...doesnt respond...its a brand new, week old

hi, my iphone died I cannot charge it...doesnt respond...its barnd new, week old

1. Reboot methods. The first thing to do is try to reboot the iPhone, which you can do by holding the top button and the home button for about ten seconds. In some cases, the iPhone is actually still on, but a bug stops the screen from displaying anything, so you can reverse the problem by doing the reboot. If you still see nothing on the screen, try to plug the iPhone in and again try the reboot methods to see if you can get the screen to display.
2. Restoring the iPhone. If the iPhone shows up in iTunes, but it still doesn't seem to turn on, it's definitely a display problem. When rebooting fails, you can restore the iPhone from iTunes, and this should fix whatever bugs caused the original issue. Realize that you'll have to reload your music if you restore to another software version. To restore, plug the iPhone in, go into iTunes and click the iPhone's icon on the side of the select screen. Click on the restore button and agree to the prompt asking if you really want to restore the iPhone's software.
3. Recovery mode. You can put the iPhone into recovery mode if it has a charged battery by holding down the home button before connecting it to iTunes, then continuing to hold the button until iTunes recognizes that the iPhone's in recovery mode. Recovery mode is a bare-bones way of booting the iPhone that allows you to perform a restore when you're dealing with a serious issue such as the iPhone failing to turn on or display anything on its screen.
4. Last resort options. If you still can't get any response from the iPhone, you may have a bad battery or shorted out electronics. This is far from an ideal situation, but if you've got a warranty open with Apple, it's covered. If you don't, you can send the iPhone away for repair, but it will cost you a bit to replace the damaged components. Stop by an AT&T store and they may be able to give you a loaner phone in the meantime so that you don't lose your ability to make and receive phone calls until your iPhone is repaired.

HP Pavilion dv6-3050tx Overheating while Running Over Battery

I have an hp pavilion dv6-3050tx, Running Windows-7 64 bit. Few days back I had changed my battery as my earlier battery was not able to provide backup more than 5min. But after inserting the new battery I am facing a problem.
When I unplug the charger, after some time my pc get hibernated, and when I again turn it on it shows following massage
"The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating.
The system is now operating normally and your data should remain intact.
Overheating may occur if the cooling vents are blocked or the operating temperature exceed the specification. The notebook PC should return to normal operation once the situation is resolved.
System Temperature (90D)"
I cleaned the fan and also applied thermal paste, but the problem is still there. And the main thing is, it happens only when the pc is running over battery, on Plug-in I have used my pc for 3-4 hours continuously and its running smoothly. But as soon as I unplugged the charger, the fan starts moving faster and soon after some time the pc automatically gets into hibernation due to overheating.
Again I am saying specifically that, this problem occurs only when the PC is running over battery. While Plug-in pc runs smoothly and properly.

Hi
This wat you can try.. install the Bios update from
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100446-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
and also try to install

Compaq CQ62 225sa cooling fan always on? is this normal?

hi hopefully someone can help, i picked up a new CQ62 laptop today, and am concerned that the fan is constantly whirring away, its not loud but noticeably there in the background. its a bit annoying so i am wondering if there is a problem or not?

Press "ESC" while booting to access the BIOS. Click on the "System Configuration" tab, change "Fan Always On" to "Disabled".

M30X-125 cooling fan is running very often if USB device is connected

Hello,
I have used USB devices with my M30X-125 for a few months and noticed that as soon as I connect a USB mouse or printer with external power supply the fan cooling works very often.With no USB device the fan cooling is very "quiet".
I updated the BIOS with the last 1.90 release and changed parameters (reduce processor speed) of the Power Management Utility.No effect on this fan cooling issue.
Can you help me please to limit fan cooling work with USB device connected?
Regards

Hi Phil
I agree with you but I believe that it is not easy to make a optimum there. If you check other notebooks from different producers the cooling vents are not so quiet. Like you know the units are designed to be small and a lot of hardware is placed at small place. The warmness is very high especially if the CPU activity is high and the units must be cooled before the hardware can be damaged.
I have tested cooling method intensively with my unit (Tecra M1) and if the cooling method and CPU activity is set to lower level the unit doesnt run like I want. Because of that I can live with sporadically running cooling fan but the performance is fantastic and all running processes flow smoothly.

HP Spectre XT 13-2005tu - Cooling Fan Countiniously Running At Top Speed From Start Up

Ok, Here's a puzzler if anyone can help. HP Spectre XT 13-2005tui7-3517U @ 1.90Ghz4.00 GB Ram256 SSD HD Has been a great laptop, very happy with it, small light powerful, etc, good battery life, everything I needed as student and as someone who travels a lot for work. Towards the end of 2014 the hinges on the screen gave out. Outside of the warranty period HP were kind enough to fix it, however this didnt get completed until approximately Feb 2015 - when I returned from travelling. At the time they gave it a full service - cleaned it up, updated bios, replaced fan. The cooling fan was replaced as they claimed it was noisy, but to be honest I had never noticed it. As soon as I took it home, the fan went crazy. From the moment the power button was pressed it would run flat out and non-stop. Sometime it would change from flat out to nothing every two seconds for 5 minutes - I took a video of this at the time. I had planned to take it back to the service centre but after a few hours it returned to normal. There were no problems for a while, every now and again it would startup and run flat out constantly for an hour or so but would always go back to normal. A couple of days ago it started this again but just won't stop. The moment the button is pressed it is running flat out until the moment it goes to sleep or is turned off. It has also started with the occasinoal intermittent 'running flat out, then slowing down then flat out then slowing down' continiously over about 5 mins (I took a small video of this as well - https://youtu.be/P2ybdunCZf8). I have: - Updated anything and everything. - Formatted the pc and reinstalled windows. - Rolled back and reinstalled the bios. - Made sure the bios setting to constantly run the fan was off. - Checked that the fan was sqeaky clean. - Installed and monitored temps with HW Monitor - fans run flat out at any CPU temp. - Ran HP system diagnostics that show no errors. - Tried hard resets. - Also checked the CPU usage - fan runs at high speed whether 5% or 95% is being used. - Tried different power settings and changing the CPU Cooling policy within the power settings. I am out of ideas. I have a feeling it might be a hardware fault and that I'm doomed but I am keen to know if anyone else has any thoughts, and espeically if there is anything HP can do or recommend. Cheers

Hi , Thank you for your query. I understand that you had the display replaced by HP as it quit due to a hinge issue. When you got it back after they had done full service - cleaned it up, updated bios, replaced fan. The cooling fan was replaced as they claimed it was noisy, but to be honest you had never noticed it. As soon as you took it home and powered it on the fan went crazy,running at full speed non stop. The speed sometimes would change from full to nothing every 2-5 minutes. After a few hours it seemed to settle down and work normally.Occasionally the issue would return for a hour but then return to normal.A couple of days ago the issue returned but now remains constant. Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly, PC is Warmer than Normal. As this did start just after the repair, I would contact HP support, explain the issues and get your options if the above has not helped.Please contact HP support at Contact HP Support.
