Notebook heating problem

When I bought my HP ENVY 15 j040el, it was cool, and the fans went high only when I was working on programmes such as Photoshop or GoogleEarth, which are graphiscs intensive. But now the fan works very often even without PS or GE and hot air keeps blowing out from the vents. The keyboard around the spacebar and above get heated.Any way to solve the heating problem? Laptop model: HP ENVY 15 j040elCountry: ItalyOS: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)Processor: Intel core i7-4700MQ, 2.40gHzVideo cards: Intel HD graphics 4600; Nvidia GeForce GT 740MRAM: 12gbHDD: 1tbWarranty/Guarantee: expired Sept. 2014.

Thanks Elena_t for your response. Following your link, I took a little time to prepare myself and go through the various EUFI diagnostics. My Envy 15 j040el passed all the tests. A month back I also updated several software and drivers (including BIOS) through the HP support assistant. There seems to be no issue regarding drivers etc... as they are all up to date. The guide you recommended says average heat should be around 35°C, but CPUID HWMonitor shows my average temperature with light internet navigation and wordprocessing at around 60°C. This is without Photoshop, Google Earth and absolutely no games, in which case the fan roars into action. Regarding cleaning the internal vents of the fan, is there a YouTube or video tutorial on how to go about it on my model of Envy 15? I tried to remove the HD drive pulling up the rubber casing of the drive but it does not come off. How does one enter the fan area to clean out the dust and particles from inside? Removing the cover of the HD, wifi card and memory modules area is easy, but I couldn't go further. Do I need to go beyond this area and into to the fan area? Please help!

Heating problem and battery backup

Recently I bought a macbook pro (7 days). I am facing heating problem and its battery backup is also not good, 3-4 hrs, but company claims 7 hrs. What should I do?

For more on laptop temperature, look here:

Take note of this part:
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead,contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Practical solution for the Heat problem?

Dear fellow Mac users,
I got my MacBook last friday. Yes, it's very Hot (temperature). I realised that you guys must be facing the same problem. I love this computer. But the heat is too much, i can't put it on my lap to work, when i travel...
Even typing on the keyboard for a long time in the library, i feel the heat coming out from the keyboard! so fustrating..
Are they any practical solution on how to reduce the heat? I dont want to dismantle the machine.
Thank you very much!

Thanks for the recommendation of the pad. I guess it
will deplete the battery life quicker.
I am wonder, the heat problem, is it a APPLE's fault?
No, as Guitaristguy313 stated, the heat problem exist in most (or all?) Core Duo laptops, whether they are Apple branded or Sony branded or Dell branded. The MacBook is not running warmer than another Core Duo based laptop.
So it's apparently the normal operating temperature of Core Duo laptops.
That's not too surprising considering that Intel document its Core Duo to be in normal operating temperature if the cores of the CPU don't run higher than 100°C, and 100°C is a very high temperature.
Hopefully MacBooks Core Duo's cores generally don't run higher than 85°C, but while within specs according to Intel, it's still very high so it's not surprising that the notebook shell temperature is high also (according to a test on a website, the shell can reach 50°C when the Macbook is used intensively).
So if you really want to have a culprit for the high temperature of the Macbook (and in fact also other Core Duo notebooks), it would be Intel.

EXTREEME HEATING PROBLEM

my laptop has extreem heating problem since the i bought it and i have been coping up with it ever since but its just that now the problem has increased and there is imeense sound of the the fan at times .
i want to know if any product/hardware upgrade could fix this

Hi again -
I looked into the CoolSense Technology you asked about. It is a combination of hardware/software installed on only some HP computers. The specs for your model of computer do not indicate that it has CoolSense Technology. I do not think your computer supports it.
However, according to this HP support document HP CoolSense Technology (In the Frequently Asked Questions section.) it says you can determine whether your computer has CoolSense Technology by simply trying to install it. It says you will get an error message if your computer does not support it.
As far as other hardware replacement components that might be available for your computer, I suggest that you post that question separately on this forum.
Also, while I was looking around, I found the product site for your model of HP computer. You might want to bookmark it for future reference: HP Pavilion g6-1302tx Notebook PC.
Please let me know if you are able to resolve the heat issue.
Cheers,

Satellite P200D-12O is not Booting / Heat Problem?

Some time ago it appeared the probelm to not booting(doing nothing) when the power cable was in(it didn't matter if the battery was in or not). With the power cable off and with the battery in it started and after that(when still working after the boot with the battery) if I plugged in the power cable the battery was charging and the laptop continued to work normally, if I removed the battery it still continued to work normally with only the power cable. I forgot to say that when the laptop is off the charging process works normally.
The other problem I noticed was that even that the laptop could work for days flawlessly when I managed to boot it, when i shutted it off I couldn't start it again right after whatever I tried. I had to wait for 15-20 minutes to I guess cool down to try to boot it again with the process I described.
Now I have a new problem, no matter how much time I wait for the laptop to cool it doesn't booot(The indicators light for 5 sec but it doesn't make it to the post screen).
The only solution is to let the laptop in the freezer(yeah!) for 10 minutes and then I manage to boot it with the process I have described.
What could be the problem bios problem? cpu cooling problem(I forgot to say that both fans work)? some other heat problem(BGA, DC Jack)? (Battery and power supply doesn't seem to be the probelm, Bios is up to date)
Any ideas?

On this virtual way it is not easy to say what the problem is. Fact is that Satellite P200D is very old notebook model so maybe it is time for general overhaul. With other words notebook should be disassembled, cleaned up and I also think that thermal grease on CPU must be exchanged.
After few years it is pretty hard and must be exchanged with new one.
You have also described problem with switching it on. This is very strange. Problem can be power supply electronic but also AC adapter. Do you still use original Toshiba AC adapter that you got with your notebook?

BOSD, Battery issues and Heating problem after iOS 8 upgrade

i have upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 am facing blue screen issues and heating problem as well. This is really frustrating even the patch iOS 8.0.2 dint solve the problem. Are you guys listening our complaints. When will you fixing it.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

Due to the rumored heat problems with the iPad 3, is there a danger in using a leather case design for it.

I recently purchased a 64 GB Verizon LTE iPad, along with a Bear Motion leather case designed specifically for that model. I've been reading a lot about the heat problems with the new iPad and although I haven't noticed them on mine, I'm worried that putting it in the case may cause worse problems. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Unless you have a defective iPad you should be fine. The only time it should be heating up is when you're running an intensive app like a game that's working the quad-core processor and the screen. I bought a Targus leather case for mine and play InfinityBlade2 on it and haven't noticed any heating issues with mine, but the part holding the iPad is plastic, so it can disipate heat better.
If your iPad gets too hot it'll warn you, so I'd use it for now and see what happens. It'll shut down before it causes any permanent damage.

Macbook Pro Core Duo, Normal heat problems???

Hi guys. I have a First Generation Macbook Pro, i bought it like 8 months ago from ebay. The guy that sold me this mac told me that it doesn't have any heat problems at all, but im just, im sorry, i can't say the same right now.
Since i receive, when it turns on, It's ALWAYS 45 (Centigrees), ok, even if i don't start any app, it heats up to 50-55. Well. Then, when im doing normal stuff (Like, You know, using Adium, Firefox, just web browsing and hearing some music with itunes) it heats up to 60-65... The worst come when i use photoshop and Dreamweaver. Gets to 68 to 78, and then i must start using 3rd party Apps for control the Fans of the computer (im using SmcFanControl) moving the fans to 4000 rpm... But the problem get's when im trying to play Starcrat or use any other app that runs with rosseta, Easy can get to 90...
The Macbook Pro never shut down because a heat problem, but im just worried about it, this is normal?, here is the normal Specs of my computer.
Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Other problem i have, is that the Battery of the macbook pro, when i unplug the power cable it just turn off, without any advice that my battery is getting out of power. Is this normal? The battery have been changed before, like a year ago (again, from the words of my ebay seller)...
There's anything can i do?. I have applecare and i still have coverage until March 2009.

The temperature ranges you report are "normal" and nothing to be concerned about.
Battery: Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery every couple of months.

FireWire Audio Heat Problem (Macbook Pro, Late 2008) VIDEO proof

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYHnX3CGUoo
After a lot of hours of trying to figure out WHY my macbook pro heats up (a lot) when i connect my newly bought Apogee Duet firewire audio interface, i found out that actually what was happening is that there are CPU spikes of extremely short period (so short that Activity Monitor and iStat could not catch) constantly spiking the CPU frequency from 1596Mhz (Idle) to 2572Mhz (Maximum). Apart from the frequency spike there is also a VOLTAGE spike from 1.0v to 1.15.
I know that this is normal due to speedstep technologies and such BUT the rapid spiking and alterations of frequency and voltage ALWAYS happening when i have my Firewire audio plugged is not normal to me. There is nothing else running, everything's idle and i only plug the firewire interface.
Also this is not happening when i restrict OSX from loading AppleFWAudio.kext (either by deleting, moving, renaming it). I connect the firewire audio interface, the leds are illuminating but no heat problem (thats to show you that is not because the interface is self-powered)
Whats going on seems to be similar with the problems occurred after Mac Pro Audio Update to users that was using FW audio devices. They were hearing a sine noise coming from their macpro and propably that was because the same thing was happening. Constant spikes of voltage to the CPU. I dont have a macpro thought so i cant apply the update Apple released for that issue.
Also, my macbook is using Lucent / Agere (LSI) firewire chipset (the particular and known revision 6) but i dont think that this is the cause since Apogee didnt have any problems with the chipset
Info: The app im using to monitor the Frequency and Voltage is CoolBook, can be found here: http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html

Firewire Audio disconnected / or AppleFWAudio.kext unloaded = Idle temp arround 50 celcius (iStat)
Firewire Audio Connected with AppleFWAudio.kext loaded = Idle temp arround 60 celcius (iStat)
If theres a possibility that this is due to bus powered firewire device (cause i have an external FW hard drive that is self-powered and temps are not rising when i connect it) then AppleFWAudio.kext maybe manages something with bus powered firewire.
Maybe when i have the interface connected but the kext not loaded the mA sucked by the interface are too little for causing a temp rise but by the time the kext is loaded and the interface is converting audio the mA required tops up so the temp rise comes from the mA load on the firewire bus and not the cpu itself.
*Even if that's the case, the rapid spikes of throttling on the cpu by the time the Firewire Audio interface is connected bothers me. This isn't something that should normaly happen on an idling machine.*

Signs that my iphone has heating problems?

what are signs that my iphone has heating problems?
I'm not sure whether to put it under "normal" heating or technical heating problem? I don't have a receipt because i got it as a gift, so what should i do to get it fixed from apple? thanks guys.
it gets hot around the ear piece area and the back of it if im on the phone for a good 5 minutes.

The ear receiver should not get warm under any condition.

Heating problem from camera side

as i remember i used to play games for at least 2hours continuously and there was no heating problem with my Lumia 720.but now i am getting some issues with that. Only after 5min of normal usage it is starting radiating heat which i can feel . What is causing it to get hot only after few min of usage.

hmm. any device gets warm when you are playing games as it is stressing the processor and requiring more power usage. the amount of heat and power needed and created I have found to differentiate based on if GPS/data/camera are used a lot, where as others that are just resident on the device without connection don't seem to get as hot.

Dv6-3123tx - is facing over heating problem?

Hi All,
I am planning to buy another LPTP
my main requriment is : intel i5 , 4 GB RAM , atlist 2.66GHZ cpu , 15" monitor.
So that I have chk hp following model : dv6-3123tx its cost is Rs.50,000/- INR
I have chked some review of (dv6-3123tx) and some post is saying it is having over heating problem and hp is stoped to supply it in to the market.
can any one will me guide me in this case. or pls suggest some model.
I m from India
my budget is up to Rs. 50,000/- INR = $ 1050/- USD
niranjan

i have bought the dv6-3123tx about 2 months back and i wouldnot recommend it to anyone too.
All i do i browse and sometime not even that. Leaving it on the table switched on make its go hot, so hot that you cant even type on the keyboard. And the sound the fan makes is annoying.
The touchpad is also one big disadvantage. it makes a sound each time you click. So you cannot work unless you have a mouse. Right now its so heated up that i can barely type (mostly on the left hand side of the laptop.
Also i was checking for remedies when I relaised that this laptop 3123 is not even listed in the HP products list:
http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-001&h_lang=en&h_cc=in&h_product=4247579&h_client=s-s...
If you perform a search with this name, you wouldnot get any results. I guess i better take it to the store immediately before it burns my hand, else i would have to use it as an omlette maker.

Does NVidia GeForce 8800GT have a heat problem?

I have an older heavy-duty Mac Pro running with 8-core Intel 3.2Ghz Xeon processors and 18GBytes RAM, using an NVidia GeForce 8800GT display controller driving a 30' Apple Cinema display. After the Mac Pro has been on for half a day the white semitranslucent bars start to appear and gradually the screen goes to nearly all white if I leave it on long enough. In about an hour after I turn it off, the display is fine.
What component is the likely cause of this behavior? I do not hear any fan noise. Should I?
I have seen other reports of heat problems with temperatures and fan speeds mentioned. How do I find this out for the Mac Pro? MacOS verion is 10.6.3.

Less than 80ºC (load) is desired, but up to 85ºC may be seen. A good cooler would keep the processor down in the mid 60's to mid 70's under load.
Prolonged temps at and above the mid 90's will reduce component life.
Certainly temps over 100ºC would be terminal in the long run.
One would hope to see the card run between 50ºC at idle and no higher than the mid 80's under load.
Lower load temps (mid 70's) are better.......
The 8800 GT is getting old. Any card approaching or exceeding 5 years of use should have the thermal compound replaced.
All fan equipped graphics cards need to be kept clean and dust free. A dust clogged heat exchanger is almost as bad as no cooler at all.

Keyboard freezes when the notebook heats up.

I've had six HP laptops/netbooks since 2010. the current two, one of them is DM1, which is constantly freezing the keyboard when the notebook heats up. and the other is the G62, which is always overheating and it burns my fingers. I'm waiting for something to happen. I will not put any under repair. I will hit the laptops with a hammer, throw both laptops through the window. then I go to the store, buy an ASUS, an ACER or even a MAC, and post the video on youtube. I'm tired of the HP! thanks for the help to unsolve all the issues. best regards

Have you installed all of the latest software updates for your MacBook Pro?
