Pavilion g6 overheating even with clean fan

Hi, I've a HP pavilion g6, product number: A5M45EA#ABU. I've had it for about 4 years and I've noticed for the past few months the fan keep running really fast and the laptop is really hot on the left side of the laptop where the fan is located. This happens even when I'm using microsoft word or browsing the internet and it causes the computer to slow down. It cools quicker once I elevate the back and allow air access through the bottom.    I dissasembled the laptop and surprised to find it relatively clean, I cleaned it but am still getting this problem. Can you suggest any other steps that I can do to prevent this from happening or do you know possible reasons why this is happening? I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks,Naid

My Pavilion g6t is only a couple of years old and has been warm to the touch on the left side for most of its life, but it's gotten much worse in the past few months.  I had to disable automatic Windows updates and Norton background scanning because the left side of the laptop would get so hot trying to run these, even if I walked away to do something else.  During Norton scanning, it would even shut down a few times before I disabled it completely. Just in the past week, the total shutdowns have become more frequent.  I don't really do much intensive work on this laptop and sometimes it gets hot just trying to browse the internet.  The most intensive activity would be playing a short video every now and then.  About a year ago, the shift key started working only about 20% of the time.  And now, the display has gone blank perhaps 6 times in the past week and a pop-up note at the bottom said the display driver failed but has recovered. I've read in the forums that overheating seems to be a pretty common problem.  My question is what order should I attempt to fix this overheating problem?  Such as, do I try to update the BIOS first or do I just go for ordering the kit with the thermal paste and hope the laptop can stay alive until the kit arrives or do yet something else?  Blowing air into the vents has not seemed to help.  So, which step do I take next? Thanks for any advice!  I'm nervous about opening up the laptop and digging around inside, but will tackle it if that's the best thing to do now.  I'd rather do that than go through the effort of installing all my various software on a new laptop.

  • Sudden overheating - even with dual-fan cooler

    Hey everyone,
    I have had the Compaq Presario CQ50 series laptop since 09.  For about a year the laptop was never used due to the hard drive failing.  I recently replaced the hard drive and put windows back on, but now there is a heating problem.  Without the external fans being used, the computer idles around 95C.  If I use the fan, which I always do, it idles around 70-75C.  Now if I decide to run a program such as a game, especially if it is full screen, the temp readings go to about 100C.
    I bought some of the compressed air cans and cleaned all the vents out which helped a little bit.  Do you think it is due to the new hard drive?  I also don't know how to check if the internal fan is still working at full potential.

    HELPED ME FIND THE PROBLEM!!!!
    It was a client I had downloaded that was secretly running in the background apparently showing over 200% CPU usage!
    I was able to uninstall it and now I'm down to suitable temps.
    Thank you!!

  • Constant crashing with Snow Leopard, even with "clean install"

    I've had a lot of trouble with crashes after installing SL. These crashes seem related to video issues. iMovie crashes immediately. iPhoto crashes if I double-click a photo. QuickTime crashes all the time. Usually these crash the entire system. The video of my entire screen sometimes get broken and jittery just before such a system crash. I've also had the crash where the screen becomes gray and I'm told to restart in many languages.
    Anyway, I finally erased my disk and "clean installed" SL, updated it to 10.6.5, then installed iLife 11 and updated that. iMovie immediately crashed. Does this confirm a hardware error, or are there some hidden settings (like in the PRAM) that can be wrong and are carried over even through a clean install? If so, how do I restore these to the factory defaults?

  • Yosemite cannot boot (Freezes) even with Clean Install

    Macbook Pro 15" was normal in the normal, but I updated Samsung Kies and it told me the restart, after that I cannot boot up Yosemite 10.10.2 at all
    What I've done:
    1. I can access Target Mode with my iMac, copied my files with no problem. I used my imac to verify both MBP HDD and Bootcamp and even try repairing, it showed that there was no fault at MBP in the first place.
    2. I can enter Safe Mode, I tried updating the OSX to 10.10.3 and still does not work
    3. Bootcamp windows got bluescreen, removed it still doesn't help.
    4. I tried install a Clean Install, and still doesn't work, (Installed through SD Card)
    5. It seems now I can only do ie., continue my update, continue my new install through safe mode ONLY
    I never turned on Filevault in the first place.
    At this point I'm not so sure, if I can still access through Target Mode, hopefully it should mean that my hard disk isn't broken.
    I am out of ideas... please help
    Ps. at normal Start up from the progress bar sometimes the screen stutters and showed me a pixelated screen and then switched back to the progress bar after a minute the loading circle appears and the looping appeared overlapped and thickens

    There may not be a profile since the Firefox folder is empty.
    Can you try to run the profile manager to start Firefox and see what the error is there:
    In a terminal run this:
    /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
    It looks like you are using Intego to restore information.
    Since there is no Firefox folder, I would recommend a reinstall. But before doing this, please make a back up of the profile folder: this will have the file path for where it is on your Mac [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]] - that is if there is a profile detected in the profile manager.

  • Turning on Filevault irrecoverably hangs even with clean OS install

    It's a 13" MacBook Air 5,2 from 2012 with 128GB storage.
    When I turn on Filevault, it runs for about an hour before the estimated time remaining goes from 1-2 hours to "estimating time remaining" and it beach balls. I've let it sit for up to 24 hours before and nothing happens. I have to force it to shut down, then when it starts up I get the white screen with a question mark folder. To recover from this I have to boot from a USB drive and wipe the disk.
    I've tried this 3 times, once with a completely new install of Mavericks.
    My suspicion is that the SSD is bad, but could it be a different hardware issue?

  • HP Pavilion dv4t-1300 fan is always on even with low CPU

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-1300 Entertainment PC with Windows 7. Even with a low CPU (around 20%), my laptop fan is always on, and the noise is annoying. Why is it always on? How do I turn it off (I have a separate laptop cooler)?

    There's a free programme called speedfan to moniter temps, my fan runs all the time its normal it runs at 30% unless cpu and things get to high temps, you can turn off the fan in the bios but i wouldn't recommend it.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 overheating issue

    Recently, i bought myself a HP Pavilion dv7-5000ev laptop with a HP Renew warranty (+ 2 year HP Care Pack).
    First time in, the operating system was Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
    Almost immediately, I found that it was overheating. A prime number calculation stress test + SpeedFan temperature checking showed that cores exhibited extreme temperatures (not falling below 98-99 degrees Celsius). Even after terminating the stress test, the temperatures dropped very slowly (about half an hour, down to 65 degrees, and stopped). I got a suggestion, that a BIOS update would do the trick. It did do the trick (i updated the BIOS to the latest version, provided on HP's official driver download site), but only in terms of half a degree Celsius.
    I sent the laptop back to the store, they replaced the Beats Audio speakers and what they called, the "cooling module". Again, i installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, did the stress test again, and temperatures didn't go over 92 degrees.
    The problem is, that it is a little too hot, when idling. It was the same even before updating BIOS and sending it away for maintenance. Even when installing software (which, in my opinion, shouldn't be that much CPU intensive), temperatures boost up to 75-80 degrees.
    Is this normal? Is it normal for my laptop to be idling at 60-65 degrees Celsius and jumping to 80, when doing nothing more than installing random software?

    Here is what happened with my HP DV7 7047 cl. It has a manufacturers defect in it, that I fixed myself. I bought mine at SAMS CLUB in the summer of 2012. It is a i7 beats edition DV7 notebook, I'm guessing the same thing is happening with HP's line of DV6 and DV7 laptops. Mine has a nvidia GPU in it, but they also come with ati radeon GPU's. It isn't surprising they are taking them off the market right now.
    If your laptop has 2 vents, and the one in the back is not blowing air through it then your laptop possibly has the same problem mine had, and you need to take it to replace the inner fan piece which was designed for only one vent. The way it works is both of these vents are made out of aluminum and are separately connected to the CPU and GPU. The one to the side is your GPU one. The aluminum vent in the back cools your CPU. If your CPU isn't getting any ventilation then your laptop wont last long and could possibly start a fire. Here is how I fixed mine by myself. And how you can fix yours too.
    Before taking it apart call HP Support and ask them if you can open it up to "clean it". They will give you permission so it doesn't void the HP warranty.
    My laptop would reach between 70c, 80c, 90c, even 100c and would get extremely hot, but wouldn't overheat. And I was concerned because my laptop is only 3 months old. It would get very hot. So I decided to take it apart and see what was going on inside. I followed the instructions on HP's website, they have online guides and manuals for taking your laptop apart and putting it back together. If you need instructions on finding your manual for your laptop then email me at [email protected]. Doing this fixed my laptop entirely. It never gets hot now, it runs faster and can play games at their maximum settings. The CPU will stay only at 60c, 65c at its tops. It's like magic.
    Here is how you can surgically correct your faulty laptop fan. You're going to make an opening in the fan, cutting a bit of plastic off, so that the other vent to your CPU can get ventilation, if worst comes to worst, you can jot down the name of the fan on the sticker and go to HP's website and order a new piece to replace it for like 50 bucks.
    What you need is...
    A small screwdriver
    A tiny screwdriver
    And (optional) some thermal compound to replace your cooked old compound. Mine was like chalk, I replaced it and it helped cool down my laptop by like 10c. You can get thermal compound at Radio Shack, and the silver stuff is the best.
    First open it up carefully, take your time, and take out the motherboard. Its the big chip with the fan connected to it and the aluminum vents.
    Next, If you're planning on replacing your thermal compound, then unscrew the bolts on the heat sinks and take the big metal pieces off the chip, place your motherboard chip to the side. Now take the piece with your heat sinks, fan and vents connected to it, and turn it around.
    Next unscrew the 4 or 5 tiny bolts behind the fan. So you can take the inner fan piece out. Notice its shape, does it have an opening for your other vent? If not, then make one. Cut an opening in the plastic, the size of the other vent. I used a knife carefully angled to cut the plastic off. Once I cut it, I just bent it off the bottom to take it off. Place the fan back into its frame and screw in the tiny bolts.
    Now replace your thermal compound. You can use a Q tip with the cotton off of it, to scrape off the old gunk - then clean it with a slightly wet Q tip. You can use a little rubbing alcohol but you shouldn't need much. Next put a drop of the new compound on the heat sinks and the chip. Using some plastic wrap on your finger even it carefully on top of the little silver parts where the old stuff was.
    Now you're good to put it all back together. Gently place the heat sinks on the chip and don't move them while you screw the heat sinks back into the chip.
    Carefully put the laptop back together and you're done.
    Here's a picture of my fan, and how I fixed mine. I didn't bother to take the piece out when I took the picture cause those tiny bolts are a PAIN to take out with a knife when you don't have a tiny screwdriver.

  • G6 2005ax overheating even in normal use

    I have pavilion g6 2005ax laptop with 8Gb RAM (4+4). My problem is that the cpu temperatures even in normal usage average 90 degrees celcius. I have tried both Speccy and HW Monitor to check CPU temperatures and both give same results.  I even got laptop cleaned and heatstink replaced from the HP service center but I am still facing high temperature issue.

  • Macbook Pro Early 2008 running slow, hot even with upgrades - what to do?

    Hello!
    Specs:
    I have a Macbook Pro Early 2008 (Model A1260). I have upgraded both the RAM (from 2GB to 4GB DDR2 667) and the HDD  (from the factory installed 200GB 5400 to a 750GB 5400).
    Previous to this, I was running Leopard, and upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion as my specs match the requirements. On the old/original HDD and RAM, All was good for about 3  months, and in the past month or two, I began to have performance issues, so after trying everything (including a clean wipe & reinstall using Lion Recovery) and doing a lot of reading in these forums and others, I decided/hoped the problem would be remedied with some upgrades (hence the new HDD & RAM upgrades).
    This has helped to the point where I can now run safari without having to force reload or having the whole computer freeze (although that has now happened once), but I wasn't even able to load a youtube video.
    CPU Usage:
    I checked the activity monitor and I'm getting a pretty constant CPU usage of about 50% (even with no other apps running):
    (The above is with just Safari, Dropbox, smcFanControl & Activity monitor)
    My fans are engaged constantly (smcFanControl has my computer at 75º-80ºC at any given time that it's on).
    The CPU usage & temps seems high - but I am not sure haven't found very good answers online.
    Things I've Tried (Post RAM & HDD Upgrades):
    I tried to perform a hardware test (holding D before the gray screen) - and both times I tried it, it did not work, as in Lion just loaded as normal.
    Ran repair permissions - and some things were repaired.
    Tried to run Verify Disk - no dice - the computer froze and I had to use the power button to shut it off & restart
    Reset the SMC per apple support instructions - had no effect on the fans or heat (though I'm still not sure if this is a real problem or not!)
    What I'm looking for :
    Any ideas on what could be going on - is this just par for the course on older models running lion, or is there something more to be done?
    I am really hoping to squeeze a few more years of service out of this machine! Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    Incase you are using your MBP like a laptop (which it is NOT)...................
    According to the user manual it states in part:
    "Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."
    MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
    "Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."

  • Overheating problems with 865PE Neo2-S ( 6728 )

    I have the same problem with my MB. When the CPU is idle it's temperature is 42 degrees C, but when it get's stressed up it growes up to 62 degrees C. THe heatsink is well in place, and has good contact with the CPU as well as the fan which is working correctly. Once the temp grew up to even 72 degrees but when I touched the heatsink it wasn't hot as I suspected. Also quite often a situation happens when the graphics in a game are starting to get " jumpy " which is followed by sound slowing and eventually the computer stalls, so I think that the overheating is real. I would really use some assistance.

    I dont think there is anything wrong with the CPU, CPU cooler or not even the casing fans.
    My system config is
    Pentium 4 2.8GHz C Processor
    MSI NEO2 865PE Mobo 512MB DDR333 Kingston (BIOS 1.1)
    450W PSU w/4 Fans cooler system
    ATI Hercules Radeon 9500 Pro
    Iomega 48-24-48x CDRW
    WD SATA 36GB HDD
    WinXP Home SP1
    SB Live
    Creative 4400 Inspire 4.1 Speaker
    When I boot up my PC, without running any application it is already 52 degree celsius.  After running General 5 it goes to 60+ ,  Dark Age of Camelot (Graphics intensive) it goes to 70 degree (Sometimes it just reboot while i am playing this game).  What is this?  My casing has 4 fans and my system temp is only 37 degree celsius.  How can my CPU temperature be so high when I didnt even overclock.  So what could be the cause of the problem.  Problematic Corecentre or MSI 865 PE NEO2 bug or whatever.  I really regret choosing this Mobo over Gigabyte PE1000.  FYI, my friend who fix the same system has the same problem as me.  So it is impossible that all of us didnt fixed our CPU cooler properly.

    You should be fine running stock cooling (if you dont overclock) ...your problem is more likely to be airflow in and out of the case -to prove this try running with the side pannel/Casing off
    If that works then you need to provide more airflow to the case not change your cpu cooler ...a bigger/more efficient CPU cooler will just increase you case temp unless you provide more airflow to the case

  • Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

    More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
    - I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
    - When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
    - The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
    - Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
    - I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
    Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.

  • HP Pavilion Elite E9120F running hot, what fan do I need to buy. It is running at over 90 degrees

    My desktop HP Pavilion E9120F began to run hot, fan was coming on very slow, I cleaned really good, was a bit dusty.. I think this may have caused the problem. It is not running at 90 degrees farenheit. I replaced the video card so I could run video programs thinking that would fix it, didn't. I am wondering do I need to buy a new fan to keep the temp down or is my CPU damaged and can't be fixed? I can still run my programs but CPU gets to 100% and it never gets under 78 degrees. Help I don't know if I should just buy new fans or what?

    If this is your CPU, it's range is 55°C - 71°C.   Here is how to measure a fan
