• AC ADAPTER HP DV7 OVERHEATING

  My adapter is overheating.  is there a way to fix the problem.

  Hey jbmjam1,

  It is normal that power adapters become very hot. There is a lot of electricity moving through the power brick, with no ventilation, so it will be very hot. If it is too hot to the touch, you must replace it. If you have another adapter laying around or one you could borrow, try it and see if it heats the same way.

  IMPORTANT: The AC adapter should not be used if it is hot enough to burn. If you see smoke or sparks, immediately stop using the AC adapter and replace it with a new one.

• Overheating with Dv7-7238nr problem

  Hello

  I wonder about the issues I'm having with my pc.

  The hp coolsense does not seem to make any difference in my laptop

  more heating problems.  I checked the forum topics that could help, but none seem to really work.

  My laptop came originally with windows 8 installed but I reinstalled another OS several times now, and I'm

  currently using Windows 7.  When I reinstalled I also reinstalled the coolsense driver for my computer.  He used to work

  very well, but now it doesn't make a difference.  My fan is running whenever I'm playing games, and it warms up very quickly.

  The main problem is when I'm playing games, but I suffer from performance problems when you play because of this.

  Any help is appreciated.

• overheating and strange smell on Dv7 notebook

  I noticed that my system seems to be overheating and has a very peculiar smell. In fact, I thought he had a problem with our oven, so I kept in the basement to check it out.  However, it turns out my laptop being.  I used air jets to clean the vents, I cleaned the vacuum evacuation holes, but this thing continues to go into overdrive on the fan.  It blows constantly, and the laptop is very warm, if not hot, touch.  I also noticed that my system is very slow at this point.  So, I constantly have to shut it down.  Is there something I can do, or don't do that would fix this?

  This smell actually makes me cough, and my throat is sore.  I really need to find the source and fix it.  I use a LOT of my system.

  Thanks for your help, and here's my card on my system:

• Dv7-3065DX graphics card overheating

  Greetings,

  I bought the DV7-3065DX and discovered that there is a heat problem.

  I have installed World of Warcraft plays when I don't envy sitting at the desktop computer. I started the game with pretty high settings and noticed that the pace was incredible. I was getting SPF 50 + to Dalaran, which is simply incredible for such a humble map.

  After a few minutes, the game hangs on a black screen and I have to restart the laptop. I noticed there was of enormous heat out the vents and the fan was going nuts pump the heat out.

  Rather than simply resume at Best Buy, I thought help out a little and found something interesting.

  What follows is set to power personalized settings. I have reproduced the performance plugged in every detail.

  When the laptop is off, WoW goes with parameters of medium/high 18 to 40 + fps which is what I expected from this card. The game works and is very nice with rock solid stability.

  At the time where I have connect to the monte in arrow of the frame rates and after some time, the laptop blackscreens and must be restarted. I started running through the Power Options, and everything was in the battery exactly settings like trendy settings.

  I've strangled the processor and has always had the same problem. So I adjusted the ATI Powerplay settings so when it's plugged, it "maximizes independence."

  After doing that and plug in the power, the rate falls to 10-15 and the laptop stay cool and doesn't crash, although the framerate is now very poor.

  My conclusion is that it seems to be a driver problem with the ATI Powerplay, which is the path of the card running too hard when it is plugged. I would remind you that when I 'Maximize Performance' on battery and laptop is unplugged, WoW is great.

  Although my conclusion is that it is a driver problem, if anyone out there has the 3065DX and WoW runs great only plugged while would they let me know. If they do not have this problem then it would be possible, I have another problem so that an exchange of the laptop may be in order.

  Thanks for reading

  Update:

  I'll be back the HP laptop. I have to say that once you get past this initial call of tortuous to HP, the speed in which the laptop is repaired and shipped back is remarkably good.

  They replaced the motherboard, cooling system and reimagee the reader. I installed WoW back and tested the warm-ups.

  The rate increases that plugged while (I fully mirrored the power settings for plugged/unplugged), but now the increase is much less and WoW can now finally run with the power supply connected.

  Thank you

• Overheating/game lag, DV7-1270us

  Hello

  My problem is with overheating, I have had this laptop for a while, and although I have maintained, it has been much used. I installed a few games, and everything by playing them, it is not uncommon for the laptop to overheat and shut down. The laptop is normally warm enough when it is long periods of time (but doesn't stop generally), the fan works and goes faster when the laptop does many things.

  My problem with this is, let's say for example I play GTA IV; This laptop is equipped to play this game, based on the minimum hardware recommended and also recommended (not to mention CPU) so naturally I guess play it's going to be no lag, no problem. This is not the case as for other recent games, Mafia II, Dead Island and others have given me the same problem, market and playing usually gives me good FPS (playable in any case) but after maybe ten minutes, very rude gal starts, I'd get a maximum of 10 fps, if even that, though, I know my system takes care of everything.

  So far, I have

  -Open the laptop, cleaned, ensuring no dust is in

  -Defragment drive C together, had more than 50 fragments k

  -J' use software gamebooster when playing games to ensure without resources is wasted on background programs

  -Tweaked my settings 3D geforce nvidia to optimize performance

  -Tweaked settings in game, low graphics, etc.

  -Update to the latest graphics card drivers

  This maybe has me a bit of extra FPS, so you can see my frustrations, I've exhausted all the options that I know, that's why I came here, lag problems seem to be related to the problem of overheating because as I said booting games since a laptop cool, means usually only playable FPS, but shift begins as the laptop heats up and uses 100% cpu power.

  My only other thought would replace thermal paste. It's quite painful surgery that I don't want to even try unless I know it will help, is there any other cause that would explain why this is happening?

  My specs are:
  CPU: you have: Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40 GHz

  CP Spee: you: 2.4 GHz Performance rated: 27.048 GH
  R: 4.0
  : Windows Vista Home Premium S
  Video card: GeForce 9600 m

  300 GB hard drive, 107GB free at the moment, direct x version 11

  Any advice would be appreciated. I'm not too concerned if it was just a game, but when it is all relatively new games hanging out like this, despite being up-to-by the conditions.

  I wanted to give you an update in case others have the same problem, I think it has something to do with the event, for a 17 "screen, I think he should have more than one event, but I just used some compressed air, he emptied, the fan stopped after that, probably dust obstructed his path , so I forced to spin, and I tested it all it's - GTA IV, functioning during two hours of play, computer laptop only @ 21ºC

  Probalem was, before hand I've never smelled of air coming out the vents, didn't think much, but the different is now noticeable, the vent for the fan's cool after hours (laptop is eleveated so) and the wind is blowing hot air. Everything seems to be in order

  Thank you.

• Pavilion dv7-3020sa battery overheating

  Hello

  I was using my laptop from the power of the battery (not connected) earlier and had my laptop just completely stop from what appears to be a lack of power. I don't have a message of warning on the power to be weak so I thought it was a little strange.

  I plug it into the sector to pitch up and see the light for the battery charge, come on for a few seconds before turning off again. Again, this is something that doesn't usually happen. When I turn my laptop back I see that I have 14% remaining battery power indicator and it was plugged in, but do not load. If my battery has 14 percent of left power why has it stopped as if it didn't have any power?

  Eventually stopped my laptop (although when I lit it back again once, I was to discover, in fact, he had not obtained closure round) turn the power off and remove the battery. I think the battery is quite warm to the touch. I remember rising over a recall program of battery for a laptop of parents so I look for the details, my battery is not on the list, but I could be suffering from similar symptoms. I waited until my battery has cooled before trying to reload again and this time it works fine.

  Anyone got any idea as to what could be the problem?

  Batteries may become hot during heavy use, cool was the right thing to do. Lion batteries will be will not charge when they reach a certain temperature thanks to internal circuits, it is a safety device.

  The recall was for batteries which has experienced extreme overheating thanks to the possibility of an explosion.

  Make sure that your windows power option settings for when it is running on battery.

• Pavilion dv7 7080el: big problems of overheating and bios problem

  I have this laptop for a few years, but earlier I use constantly and I see that much when heated work not reached an average of 65 °, but if you work with graphics or other temperature increases considerably, and sometimes when I go to reset the bios auto-recovery, finished the procedure, I have to turn it off and let it cool to be able to use it again as well as garlic this causes too much heat ruined even the battery that won't re - calibrate, but must be replaced, even if it is almost never used, so I would keep less software until the fan at will but cannot find compatible software and wish that the problem is solved for you because I think it's very serious the laptop not think that it is so plugged in but really many flaws

  Hey, Yes, it's too high. Just make sure to clean the air vents, first of all, it is still possible it is dirt preventing proper cooling, but open a support ticket immediately.

• Pavilion dv7-4080us overheating

  Greeting,

  Over the last 3 months or more I have a problem with my laptop. It is still super hot, make 80 just using browsers and almost 100 c during the game (it is shut sometimes.) Already cleaned the vents, updated the bios and still its heating. I can hear the wind making a lot of noise, but does not seem to be coolin anything. Is anyone having the same problem I am? What should I do to solve it?

  Thank you

  (my cpu temperature)

  A lot of notebook cooling problems occur due to the bad design radiator, bad radiator installation, and the baths of shit pads hp uses.  More on a machine with a high-performance processor, the thermal paste dries up and transfers is much heat.

  The solution is to remove the entire fan and heatsink of heat and remove the thermal protection and clean all the old thermal compound off the chips as the seat cushions on.  Replace thermal pads with thin copper pcs.  The thickness of the copper is crucial.  You don't want gaps with the fan in place, but you don't want to not so tight that the fan puts pressure on chips when you tighten it down.  Once the copper is mounted correctly, a drop of arctic silver thermal paste on each side of the copper shims should be enough to spread evenly over the surfaces.  Put too much glue on defeated the purpose of the dough.  Pennies can probably be used to make the copper shims, just be sure they're old copper pennies and not the new zinc ones.

  It is hard work and not for the faint of heart.  But it will significantly reduce the heat generated by the chips.

  Obviously, change whatever it is inside your laptop will probably be empty all the guarantees, but if you want a cooler machine management, it's the only way I found to do.

• Laptop HP Pavilion DV7 not really hot...

  Product information:

  Name: HP Pavilion DV7-6193

  OS: Windows 8

  Changes to the system: Updated, recently reinstalled Windows 8 video card drivers

  Hello

  Lately, my laptop has been get very hot and the fan is really loud, even if I do things as little as surfing the internet, for the moment, I closed all the non-essential programs in the Task Manager I do not use, and turns at 70 degrees (Celsius) sometimes still warmer upwards to 80 degrees (Celsius) while watching videos on Netflix. When used for games, it goes up to 90 degrees. This has happened for a while now, before even to update my video card driver, so I eliminated that as a possible reason. I tried to put it on the mode or balanced in energy saving mode, but not much changes if anything. I disabled switchable graphics problems with no switch cards AMD I have inside (uses Intel on switchable) so I took off switchable graphics for game reasons. I have a cooler laptop that I use, but just worried, why it is not so hot for not heavy use any. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

  As your laptop HP Pavilion dv7-6193 Entertainment is two to three years old, you want to maybe blow out the vents with a can of air compressed. When the dirt is trapped in the vents, it reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. This can cause the fan to the race as it tries to cool the CPU. Finally the system is overheated and shut down to protect themselves.

• Power adapter - HP PAVILION DV7-3150EQ

  Hello

  I bought the HP PAVILION DV7-3150EQ, and it stops itself almost instantly after the initialization of the operating system (just at the moment where the HP Setup programs starts). I have two suggestions for this topic:

  1. the CPU heats too quickly and the protection of the motherboard turns on and off the computer.

  2 in the specification of the product, I noticed the power adapter must have 120 W power (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01997646), but I received with adapter 90 W (adapter fault current may have been replaced by the Distributor, I don't know), and what I think, is that it does not provide the computer with enough power so it shuts down. What I mean, is there a strict rule on food and their use adapters (specified model should be used with the adapter specified etc..)

  Can you guide me I just think, or there might be another problem.

  Thanks for the reply erico.

  I was looking for an explanation on the closure and the motherboard overheating protection seemed reasonable to me. I was wondering is this a common problem or I am luck one of perhaps hundreds of thousands made notebooks with Core i-5?

  I removed the battery and left it on the power adapter, but it's the same thing.

  I did not understand you completely clear. You mean that even with less powerful adapter(>120 Watts) the laptop should work well, and the battery should be charged, but for once more. Or should I contact my supplier and only get the right adapter (120 Watts).

  Best regards

  Contact your provider and ask so he could be replaced by the model in the specifications of the laptop. The 90 Watt power adapter will work, but this isn't what has been specified to be included in the purchase.

  I suggest that you try a hard reset

  Remove the battery and the AC adapter.

  Press and hold the power adapter for > 15 seconds.

  Plug the power adapter (with the battery always off)

  Press the laptop power button.

  Your laptop is now boot into Windows?

  If it is not then

  Press the power button and press the F8 key to enter the BIOS.

  If you are able to enter the BIOS and make the memory test.

  Please post your results here in your thread.

• HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: what is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 3063 cl with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

  I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

  The computer seems to run very hot and stopped twice from overheating during its first period of 2 weeks when it there was not a lot of calculating, fan was run at top speed at all times, and the laptop was high to allow good airflow below.

  According to the program of the Open Hardware Monitor, the CPU had reached 97-99 C a few times. I bought support cooling a player and that seems to help a lot, dropping the temperature to 20 ° C.

  What is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

  Anything more than 90 c is too hot. You can specify the processor and the motherboard you have installed?

  Also if this from the Manual:

  Thermal paste is used on 1 CPU and heat sink section 2 that the services it. Thermal pads are used on the chip Northbridge 3 and 4, the graphical subsystem chip 5 contact Northbridge and graphics/heatsink contact 6. Thermal material replacement is included with all kits of spare parts of processor, heatsink and system board.

  So unless you have changed the cooling system to heat composed on the chip graphic you should have used a thermal buffer. Without the pad, it may leave just a small hallway and destroy the cooling properties. You can use a shim in copper or other piece of something metal to fill the void, but if you just put the heat sink down on the video chip you won't get optimal even with thermal cooling paste.

• upgrade laptop computer DV7 AMD cpu of two to four hearts

  I have a HP DV7 4xxxus (I forgot the exact model number is not at home) with a Dual AMD Phenom II N620 processor 2.80 GHz and was thinking about upgrading to a processor 2.20 GHz AMD Phenom II Quad N970. I've read enough up to this point to ensure that it is possible, but what other factors should I be aware of? I know that this model had a tendency to overheat, but I personally have never had my overheating at the stop. I keep the back elevated to get more air and took part more than once to clean the fan and replace the thermal compound (Arctic Silver) without incident. I use my machine mainly for the compilation of the Android ROM, so believe me when I say that this machine were put to the test the way the most extreme I can think of (the two hearts run at near 100% for hours at a time). I build these Roma back to back sometimes, and my laptop turns on for a period of days. I know it's clearer at the fair and buy new, but this machine gave me good years of use, and if I could find a good deal on a processor, I'd be willing to give it a try. Both processors have the same characteristics (2.0 MB of L2 cache, bus front end to 1 333 MHz, 35W 3.6 gigatransfers per second), so I don't foresee any problems on that front, but what the BIOS? It will need to be updated? Where can I find a viable for this new processor bios update? Can I upgrade the GPU as well? There are other concerns that I think not? Any help would be appreciated...

  Here's the appropriate Manual:

  Manual

  The N970 is supported. You don't need to update the BIOS or something. The motherboard is configured to use this processor. It is generally advisable to reload the operating system after an upgrade of major processor that Windows can have parameters of system based on the original processor and you can lose some of the benefits of the upgrade if you do load a new OS, but apart from that there is nothing really to do.

• Pavilion dv7-6b63us: update Bios

  I have a Pavilion dv7-6b63us laptop.  I went into the Windows in file Explorer folder, msinfo32.exe entries in the search block and found that my Bios version is dated F.02 03/10/2011.  Then, I went to the section drivers and downloads for HP software and clicked on the Bios, and they showed a version of Bios F.1C dated 18/02/2016.  I downloaded the version F.1C and save my download folder.  It is safe for me to install this version of Bios on my laptop?  I read somewhere that you could be in a lot of trouble if you install a version of Bios that is not intended for your computer.  Can someone make sure it's OK to go ahead and install the Biso F.1C version?

  If the fan does not work, then it sounds like a bad fan sensor or a bad connection going to the sensor.

  The upgrade of the BIOS will not solve the error message fan you are experencing. In addition, it is not recommended that you upgrade the BIOS if the fan is malfunctioning under the fan kicks in full throttle during the upgrade as a precaution. If the fan does not work and you upgrade the BIOS and overheating of the computer will power off computer and will be probably corrupted BIOS and brick your computer.
