Alienware 14, fan only runs on start & everything seems to be fine

I just upgraded the i5 CPU 4200 m to i7-4700mq myself. It starts fine, but after about 10 min running windows I noticed that the fan does not turn.

I restarted to check and noticed only towers for about half a second to start, stops completely when it reaches the bios menu at the head of alien.

Then I turned it off and start looking for solutions, won't damage the CPU...

What seems to be the problem?

Hello!

HWmonitor allows to control the fan and CPU temperatures. Try to re - install the control centre Alienware and updated to latest BIOS A09.

If the problem persists, run an ePSA Diagnostics to check for hardware errors.

  • Lenovo Z500 fan only runs on high speed

    Hello.

    Recently, I removed the lid of my laptop to clean my fan and to change the thermal paste on the proc and video. But when I replaced everything back and booted up the laptop, my fan only works on speed continuously. No rattling, it works just like my proc is very responsible, but no hot wind, cold. I checked the temperature in the Speedfan program and everything seems to be ok, but I noticed that there is no fan detected. Same thing, I saw in Everest. I tried to watch BIOS, but there is nothing in the fan or temperature associated (I change my bios there is a moment so my F1 - F12 keys would swap with FN keys). And also, in the management of energy, I tried to remove the dust, but just ran fan as it removes dust every time, none of the changes, same high speed. I tried Driver Pack Solution, no results on the fan. Everything went very well before I cleaned it, I was just trying to make my computer train less.

    Please help me, thanks in advance.

    Alright, removed the lid once more and discovered that the fan wires melted because of the heat the tubes that will proc and the video, so the wire that controls the speed of the fan has been disconnected. Anyway, case closed, just need a new fan, will not appear anywhere it's for sale, but that is another issue for another day.

  • I get an Fatal Exception on start up error, and I can only run in safe mode on my dv6

    I get an Fatal Exception on start up error and I can only run in safe mode on my dv6, can someone please help?  I don't really want to reset to the factory settings I have to reinstall everything.  I tried to go back through the system restore, but it keeps telling me that there is no restore point?  I'm running Windows7 64 bit OS

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Hazel,

    Start in Safe Mode, open windows control panel, open programs and features and uninstall Comodo Firewall (this will probably be listed as Comodo Internet Security depending on the version).

    Once completed, restart the laptop in Safe Mode .

    As before, open all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In the command prompt type the following commands and press enter after each one.

    Drivers CD                (Note that there is a space between cd and drivers)

    del cumon.sys           (Note that there is a space between the led and cumon.sys)

    output

    NOTE: If you get an error after entering del cumon.sys as the "specified path cannot be fouund", it's Ok.

    Restart the computer and see if Windows starts normally.

    Kind regards

  • Pavilion a6327uk will not start. Light output at the rear is enabled, all the work of 3 fans, but does not start.

    I have a Pavillion equipped a6327uk for vista 32 bit. I had similar problems before and remove all cables, hold the button to boot without the power connected, reconnect the and then turn on solves the problem. I suffered a blue screen, where I was told the computer was stop and spills of memory. Then I rebooted the computer froze and since then it will not start. I led on the power supply/process button cable about 30 times more than three days without success. The computer does not go to the HP logo screen, it just stops. Can anyone help with further action please.

    It could be almost anything that prevents your computer from starting to start to eliminate things.  If the computer under warranty?  If this is not the case, unplug everything including the power cord from your computer. Unplug the keyboard, monitor, mouse, readers flash and all other connected outside of the machine. Open the unit and unplug all the devices connected to the power supply except the motherboard.  Disconnect the hard drive cable and power supply data connection, disconnect the connection cable and power supply of the CD/DVD data, disconnect any drive card reader or floppy drive.  Therefore remains connected to the power supply should be taking 20/24 pin to the motherboard and 4 or 8 pin 12V for the cpu power cable.  Remove all cards that may be in the slots, as the video card, modem, network card (if they are not built in to edge of devices.) Just the cards that can be inserted into the slots.  Make sure all items are away from the computer and cannot cause a short circuit when you use power. Look at the motherboard and see if the capacitors were bulged or rounded top and maybe even a brown substance leaking from the top.  Check the video card as well for the same and a blocked fan who may have been not turn.  Test the power supply with a volt/ohm meter if you have one. If this is not the case, turn on the power and see if the fans are running and you get beeps.  If this isn't the case, hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the machine turns off.  Try only a chunk of memory at a time and in each of the slots.  If it starts to act normally, it is probably food.  If the sounds seem normal, unplug the power cable and install one at a time from the video card and connect the monitor to it. Plug the power cable from back in and start the machine.  If you have a video, keep disconnect power, adding another device such as the keyboard and the mouse until you arrive finally to your hard drive.  Do your last hard drive because there all your important data on it and you do not want to expose to all this test.

  • Process creates the CPU to overheat and the Fans to run like crazy:

    I am ripping DVDs on different Macbook cradle fully aware that it's requiring treatment.

    The 2011 with 16 GB of ram and hard disk SSD, the process runs on 330% of the processor, blasting the ability and heat

    revolves around 100 c/213 F.

    Interesting enough the same process on 2 late Mo Pro 2008 with less ram do not overheat in the extraction process. The program are identical on all the Pros of 3 MB. The processes are the same, but on the old MBpros the processor load is between 130-150% up to more heating is not that great a problem.

    But the MBPro of 2011 with top material tearing overheating of the processor and fans running at full speed.

    I noticed that too much work with other programs or is running only a few programs at the same time seem to heat from the processor and the fans make some noise + cpu run hot with my MBpro 2011 and El Capitan.

    It is possible to restrict a program that use a large part of the resources to avoid overheating?

    Other solutions?

    Well a Late 2008 Macbook Pro has a intel core 2 duo, so the max he could run is 200% (2 CPUs time 100%) if the application can do enough on 2 processors in parallel.

    Your 2011 Macbook Pro has very probably a 4 core CPU intel i7 with hyper-threading.  If an application can use hyper-fils, there is a potential of 800% max.  The 330% could just be that the DVD cannot keep up with the CPU, so it does not hit its maximum potential because of the famine of data.

    I don't know if the speed of the DVD drive in 2008 was the same as the 2011.  If the 2011 is able to read data more quickly than the 2008, then it can provide given the CPU faster, keep the much busier CPU so it can consume more power, and more power consumption more than the heat generated.

    MacBook pro 2011 ends a DVD in less time than the 2008?

    Basically, you are trying to compare 'Granny Smith' vs 'Golden Delicious' apples and expects the same taste.

    Regarding the other programs, put this SSD in your Macbook Pro means that any code or data that the application needs to get the disc are convinced order or magnitude faster, so that the application did not slow the CPU and keep crank, causing the CPU to keep them busy and thus attract more power, which is converted into heat causing fans to run.

    It is also possible that your SSD generates more heat.  Solid State does not always mean longer running costs.  Much would depend on the brand and the model of the SSD and it is the power profile, and it draws more power for writing vs readings, and how much nature more expensive power you're done.

    Information point.  I put an SSD in my 2009 27 "iMac and it works more hot because my iMac can do more in less time.  I put an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2011 and if I ask him to do a lot of work, like backups, it starts its fans, as the SSD is always quick to provide data for backup, there is no waiting for the discs, leaving the lower idle CPU.

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

    Hello!
    I have a P100-347 and had graphics problems of stuttering while playing games. Updated BIOS 4.0 to 4.10, it solves the problem of stuttering!

    Now, my fan always runs at maximum, it never ideals.
    It's always the same, even when I choose its configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only update the bios.

    I tested with the latest divers chipset intel and Nvidia alsow driver and it's always the same.
    So my concludes is the BIOS, is Toshiba knows something about this problem and work on a newer bios?

    Sincere friendships Ishmael

    Everything indicates that the BIOS 4.10 is the problem common to the always high speed of the graphic fan even when the PC is in sleep mode.

    I want to see action as a new revision of the BIOS 4.10!

  • Windows 7 Build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine - I can only run the computer in safe mode

    My son - under Windows 7 Home Premium - Dec 2010 laptop, purchased at Future Shop

    It has worked well for the past 2 years.  Suddenly, on Saturday, he stopped doing anything.
    That's happened?
    I don't know, but when I started upwards, normally, all I get is the 'black screen of death", with the words"Windows 7 Build 7600 this copy of Windows is not genuine ".
    I CAN'T DO anything HERE - can't make a right click, left click, CTRL ALT DEL, menu button - nothing works

    So I rebooted in SafeMode with networking - everything works fine.

    I have tried many fixes - when I read the topics - but NONE OF THEIR WORK in safe MODE
    slui.exe 4?  Does not work in safe mode
    Run?  Does not work in safe mode
    Start - computer - properties - activate windows now?  Does not come to the top, in safe mode
    However, he won't come to the top with a status or product ID
    Starter - activate windows?  does not work in safe mode
    I tried to download the windows / microsoft / genuine / validate the tool - but guess what, that didn't work either - update installation failed - error information 0x8007043C - probably does not work in safe mode - but that's all I have As
    I did a system restore - it 'worked' but ran very slow - and then when I restarted, the problem came back.
    and many others

    I ran Avast free on it - and anti-octets Malware - nothing - but I can only run in safe mode.
    Avast has some programs that run on the system re - start - but it does not start in normal mode - if none of them work

    I read a lot of topics on this - and I'm VERY FRUSTRATED

    I used another laptop - does the slui.exe 4 - and he asks me the activation key?  I can't that - not in safe mode
    I called the phone number - and talked to anyone - they told me to go through the www.howtotell.com - and report a counterfeit copy.  But it's NOT a COUNTERFEIT copy.
    OK - it's perhaps - but why it worked for 1.5 years?  And I bought from FutureShop, so should be reliable.  And I have the certificate of Authenticity on the back

    Don't forget - I can't do anything either in normal mode - but the Safemode with network works perfectly well.

    So, I don't know what to do.

    I don't think that's my problem - I bought a genuine copy, a reliable retailer.
    Anything you can do to help, would be greatly appreciated.

    I agree with this assessment.

    Hard drives come with a large number of spare sectors 'invisible' - it's only when they all well used by repair mechanisms built-in to the reader that the number of bad sectors Windows begins to increase from zero (in your case, it is a sector) means that there is already a significant degradation of the drive, and you can expect the count to start sooner or later back.

  • Satellite Pro L series: fan always running even at IDLE when LAN is on

    the fan always running even at IDLE when lan is on
    Thanks for any help, that can stop the fan...

    Just see your questions:
    What model of laptop do you have exactly?
    What system do you use?
    What exactly do you mean by power of LAN?

    I can tell you that the cooling modules are controlled by fan table stored in the BIOS.
    Usually, the fan starts to spin if the CPU would be responsible for some unique applications/processes. It would also be possible that your fan is running continuously with low performance to maintain the low temperature. This isn't a real problem for laptop.

  • ACPI fan constantly runs at full speed on Toshiba Satellite L505

    Hello world!
    I recently bought a new laptop (Toshiba L505)... everything works fine except the fan under Linux. It works constantly to max speed and I must say it's quite annoying. I know it is better to have a fan that runs continuously rather than one that is not light up at all, but I really want it to solve...
    See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/321578 for more information on this bug...
    I think that it is related to ACPI but I tried everything almos (acpi_osi change, acpi = force and other hack kernel). But whatever the OSs I throw (except Windows 7), it is always at full speed (I tried the Chakra (Archlinux), Ubuntu, and PC - BSD). With Ubuntu, I tried the last kernel 2.6.32rc7...

    Thanks ;)

    Hi sunrider.

    to understand why your machine is constantly cooling at high speed, go deep into the linux stuff...

    * but you can try "acpi = off" * instead of 'force' to give the os the ability to manage the material at the level of the api...
    Maybe there is an updated driver/module implemented who knows your chipset...

    If you "force" the kernel to manage equipment of this 'acpi' way and no module is there to do the work... you see it is a bad thing...

    or you are a geek and program a module that manages your chipset to acpi... If yes pls share it with the community...
    of course I'm kidding, writing of modules is not for me...

  • Satellite P30-141 - fan constantly running

    Laptop for a few years now and can't remember but don't fan run always.
    Its really irritating.

    The fan is not at full speed but runs of course.
    Power settings do not seem to help.

    Your thoughts.

    Well, what to say. The fan should run continuously to cool the internal devices like CPU and GPU.

    But a question; have you tried to change the settings in the Toshiba Power saver?
    I mean in particular the method of cooling, CPU control method and CPU processing speed settings.

    Please check everything first.

    If it doesn't help then I think that there is not much to do because the BIOS to control the rotation of the fan, and this cannot be changed.

    By the way; did you check if the fans are free and that the air circulates properly?
    Check it!

  • HP Pavilion G6 1350SD dedicated GPU(7450M) only runs on Intel HD Graphics 3000 (no switch)

    Hello!

    I have this laptop for 2 years and never had my work as a dedicated video card. He has not even work when I bought it out of the store o.O so, basically, I am quite sick of it and tried to get it fixed up, so I went through everything I could think of, just everything that "could" solve the problem.

    I tried all this in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

    I set the video card options in the bios of both fixed and dynamic. Neither work.

    All the drivers have been installed, including the latest AMD Apu driver. (I tried the official amd.com and the HP support center)

    The graphics settings for my Intel HD graphics card and my AMD Radeon HD gpu are set for maximum performance.

    Disabling the driver for the HD Graphics 3000, so he could only run on the gpu AMD does not work either. (In fact, everything is stopped in an instance; p)

    Installation of an older driver no longer works.

    AC/DC's plugged all the time (this has an effect when the bios settings are set to 'Fixed'. This was not the case)

    I tried a few more things, but it becomes a bit too long to read. p

    But yes, someone has another type of solution?

    It should work now, after all the options at trial...

    Thanks in advance!

    The switchable graphics option will only work with the AMD driver HP softpaq. installation the Catalyst Control Center and driver from AMD will be feature stop working.

    Install the Intel graphics driver HP softpaq separately will also stop the switchable graphics feature.

    To make it work, you need to run the softpaq to driver HP AMD laptop twice. The first time got it uninstall all the. The second time have it install all. Once you do this, you should be able to use the switchable graphics feature. I would like that you were here during the active period of the warranty of your laptop. That would give us options to replace the graphics adapter or motherboard module if we didn't have no spending on your part.

  • Pavilion 7000: Computer freeze once the fan CPU runs at max speed

    Product model: 7 p - 1090d

    Product no.: QP177AA #UUF

    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit version.

    Computer blocks once the fan CPU runs at max speed. Initially, the computer would occationally freeze after waking up from sleep mode (CPU fan would be occaionally operate at full speed & freeze the system).  Now cannot load even in windows. It freezes at the configuration of the BIOS once the fan turns at speed computer crashes if the CPU fan run at maximum speed wherever you are!

    1. I did the cleanning & lubrication & even take the battery to reset the Bios but no success too.

    (Before I can reset the Bios it will run normally.)

    2. remove all USB devices except the mouse & keyboard

    3. detach & attach Ram memory & graphic card

    I saw a ROM_Recovery shunt on the motherboard label. Must I do? or can someone help, please?

    I sent to the center of HP service after a week, the service staff telling me that he was unable to go bad because my motherboard is the American version, which I have no idea what it means (my PC was purchased locally) but to bring him back.

    I solved my problem of tried to detach the Rams (2 actuators) & install only 1 on an another RAM slot first. This works. Then installed the second RAM on an another slot also without no problems so far.

    I have an old HP Office also having the location of the faulty RAM & also had replaced graphics card but it raise a peep sound error which easier to identify.

    I agree with you more HP, hardware problem is due to RAM or video card. Thanks anyway
