HP Pavilion 15: Noise of the fan during games

Hello world!

I recently bought the HP Pavilion 15. All-in-all, it's good. But when I play certain video games, I hear the noise of the cooler fan. The noise is loud and a little bit of crackling. Some games cause stronger noise (progression of Tomb Raider, hand of fate), other (The Witcher III) - not so loud. The less demanding games produce almost no additional noise.

At first, I thought it might be connected to the audiosystem, but when I use headphones noise crackling under the remains of the screen and the sound in the headphones is good.

This problem does not prevent the game experience - games work without problem, but I don't know if it's a sign of some videoadapter damaged or simply bad. Or are all generally noisier than other pavilions portable?

What can be the problem? What should I do?

Fellow HP users!

I found the solution on my own!

I had BIOS version F0.5 and improved through this site up to F0.9. And the sounds of crackling disappeared! Everything works!

So, if you have similar problems, just find the update for your BIOS. It is also a good opportunity to check if your drivers are up to date!

  • Satellite L500 and the noise of the fan

    Last week, I bought a new laptop Satellite L 500 with Inter i3 processor, 1 GB, 4 GB of ram ATI graphics card, etc.
    Everything is OK in general, however, I think the fan is very noisy.

    I used to own a HP Pavilion laptop and could hardly notice the fan while with my new laptop, the noise of the fan is really loud.
    Does anyone know if this is normal or if it could be fixed somehow?

    I did some internet research for a solution, but I couldn't find anything, and apparently nobody complains noise from the fan on L 500 computers portable so maybe it's only me that have this problem?

    Thank you.

    For optimal use for laptop use the balanced power plan. Go to the advanced settings for this plan and energy saving of Toshiba, you can find cooling method.
    The level here. I'm sure that notebooks fan will be much quieter than before.

  • Over the noise of the fan after upgrade SC8000 to 6.5.30...

    Curious to know if anyone noticed an increase in the cooling fan noise level after the upgrade of their SC8000 to 6.5.30?  Updated during the weekend and controllers generally increase speeds of the fan during the startup, then settle down. After the upgrade, we do not have seems to settle into their previous volume.  CPU usage seems normal and systems running OK, we just want to make sure that there isn't something else causing the extra fan speed.

    Thank you.

    Yes, it's something they did on purpose. In my view, there is a that'S on it. I would like a link to it, but I'm on my moblile. You should be able to find it in the Knowledge Center.

  • Nice info on the utility fan against the noise of the fan

    I wrote a small utility to keep the noise from the fan on my Qosmio in check. Several people have asked for it since so I have talked on forums, I have created an installer for it here:

    http://users.PCNET.ro/SP/Toshiba.html

    Four people (including me) use it currently. We are all on Qosmios, but it should work on any Toshiba.

    Hello Alexandru

    Thanks for this tip. May be this tool works very well. I him have not tested because my Toshiba laptop works well. In my case, I need not fan 3rd party utilities.
    Laptop Toshiba computers are preinstalled with the energy saver, which includes the fan control. In my opinion, it works fine.
    Nevertheless, thanks again.

  • HP envy 15 touchsmart whistling noise from the fan

    Hello
    I have a hp envy 15 touchsmart j101tx. My problem is that whenever the fan is on, a hissing sound comes from the laptop. The sound is quite loud and very annoying when the fan is at full speed. After some time I realized that the noise is caused by a white cable passing over the fan when the air passes through. Can you suggest a solution for this because the noise is very annoying, especially in the office

    Hi @Nobert_01

    I understand that you are having problems with the noise of the fan, apparently due to a cable that seems out of place or friction. I'm happy to help you.

    Because the sound seems to be caused by the cable rubbing against the fan, one solution might be to try to adjust its position. To this end, here is the: PC portable HP ENVY 15 and HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide

    It provides instructions for disassembly, and if you want you can try to fix them carefully as cable companies so is no longer in contact with the fan.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2240sh replacing the fan

    IN BRIEF: Broken fan. A lot of noise. Hard to find part. Not made in the United Kingdom (where I live). Found supposed HP part dealer (http://uk.eetgroup.com/i/680551-001-HP-HS-FAN), do not know if its exactly the part I need. Confirm?

    If the fan on my laptop has started to make a lot of noise, to the point that even the laptop significantly sometimes vibrates. I am 100%, this is a problem of fan because I get messages that fan sometimes does not start on boot-up the top if I receive a message from the bios (click on the laptop around the exhaust Wizz it and thus he begins his work, for now). Its summer so to get a little more frequent recently. I just had this problem for a few days, closing of a week at the time of this announcement.

    I'm looking to get a spare part for the fan and replace it myself. I've never opened a laptop before, but I have a PC, a couple of times (sort of, dismantled my PC at home, updated several times, fixed things, replaced, etc. etc.). I found the service manual for my exact model and I am in contact with the person I got the laptop.

    I googled 'g6-2240sh of HP Pavilion fan' but has a lot of sites offering "HP pavilion g6-2240sh replacement fan" with no exact fan model, which is what I expected or you are looking for. So can someone tell me what it is? I was not able to find it and I don't know where is the best place to go (to the United Kingdom, I'm at Sunderland, so better order online I presume).

    P. S.

    Now, first of all, I can guarantee. 1 year international. I got in touch with HP about this, on the line to support UK. Due to my situation (student), I am quite dependent on my laptop. Unfortunately, I bought the laptop at home in Bulgaria. Then they told me that I had to their message and I more likely, logically, would have to send again, they could send somewhere else and who knows how long this may take. I know that HP has some policies on how long it may take, but my country is also, and those specific for electronics so... I found myself asked the guarantee out of the question.
    (Note: I don't know about auto repair Kits customer or whatever they were called, but after contacting the Bulgarian support line, waiting more than 10 minutes and spend a fortune on the call I left it).

    If at the end because of the time (and also a little financial forces is not able to communicate properly support at home (maybe I have to wait like an hour, but who live)) I resigned to fix myself.

    If all of the information that I could use?
    Something I am missing to tell?
    Is something not clear (his end at this time of writing, so sorry for the mistakes or difficult to understand parts)?

    Just mainly, I don't know which exact to get fan and hence, do not know what to look for on ebay/amazon/whatever.

    (the title but here it is again)
    Pavilion g6-2240sh
    Running windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

    Well, this forum provided no much help in time. Ended up getting in contact to help through the chat service and obtaining a confirmation of this way.

    For all future people with a similar problem: Yes, eetgroup is a dealer and this is the correct part.

  • Installation of SSD drive and the noise of the fan to the MacBook Pro?

    Hello

    Just replaced the stock 5400 RPM HARD drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2012 with an SSD 480 GB Sandisk and now the fan makes a loud noise. Sounds like it's revving at full speed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you.

    You can try Macs with Intel processors: System management controller (SMC) reset and see if that fixes the problem. Unless you make a mistake in the reassembly, the two should be independent. On the other hand, it could be something in the design of the SSD. Personally, I would like to replace it with an OWC or OCZ.

    To check if the two are somehow connected try to replace the old HDD to see if the fan slows down. If it then reinstalls the SSD, making attention to do correctly and re - test. See how to install the ribbon cable short connecting the drive to the motherboard. It's easy to get the pins on the misaligned ribbon cable.

  • Satellite M40X - the noise of the fan

    Hi all.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X - 161 (PSM4XE).

    I had this problem with the fan of the computer running all the time and make a lot of noise because I bought a few years ago.
    Once I had the fan cleaned in the shop of service it was ok for a few days, and then he started again.

    Is there a solution for this problem? I read that Toshiba has released new versions of BIOS that solve this problem, but for laptops with ATI/nVidia video cards.

    I have an Intel card. Is there something for my model, and someone has fixed this?

    Hello

    Is not a friend of the problem.

    The cooling modules must be cleaned periodically. It s not enough clean the fans only once the dust appears more if it s necessary to regularly clean the cooling modules.

    You should also take a look in the power of the Windows operating system options.
    Most of the time it possible s control of the CPU performance and cooling performance that would reduce noise and fan activity.

  • Touchscreen and the noise of the fan U920T - 11 c satellite fails sometimes

    Hello

    I just bought the U920T - 11 c a few days ago.
    I love him but he some of the questions they put me down and make me want to go back.

    The first problem is the loud fan noise that lights up. Is there anyway to turn this off?

    Happens about 15 minutes using the web and then turns on and off every 5 minutes. It's really strong and be in the break room, it is noticeable.

    Can I do to stop this? I'm only using the web and not running other programs.

    I also noticed that the touch screen fails to respond without particular reason. I don't know if there is a trend, but it's frustrating when it stops just for no reason and then sometimes everything works again.

    Looking at these forums it seems that it is a common problem with the Toshiba. I have a few days before I can return, so if they are not resolved, I think that I might go just form the Samsun ATIV book 9 Lite instead.

    Thank you

    > Happens about 15 minutes using the web and then turns on and off every 5 minutes. It's really strong and be in the break room, it is noticeable.

    I assumed that the noise comes from fans who need to run more quickly if the internal temperature would increase.
    What you could do is change cooling performance module in single power management.
    You could also decrease the performance of the processor. This would lead to a lower heat dissipation and the fans slow down.

    > Also, I noticed that the touch screen fails to respond without particular reason. I don't know if there is a trend, but it's frustrating when it stops just for no reason and then sometimes everything works again

    You could try to calibrate the digitizer
    Go to the control panel (Windows key + X-> Control Panel)-> Tablet PC setting.

    The first display tab contains options such as configure screen stylus and touchscreen.
    Here, you should be able to start the installation program and identify the touchscreen.

    The first option must contain 1 internal LCD
    At the bottom, you might find button to calibrate and reset the settings for the internal LCD.

    But it could also be a hardware malfunction. I can't say for sure why this happens, but perhaps a technician should take a look at the material.

  • How to reduce noise from the FAN on Portege M400 with Vista?

    M400 (* _VISTA_ * with newer utilities for electric model) FAN blows very noisy constantly regardless of real need for cooling.

    Even with zero responsible jobs, less than 1% (flat curve) of the activity, the processor speed to 50% in the model of power and all power to the minimum settings, FAN does not reduce the speed. After a reboot, for a short time, the noise is bearable, we can conclude that the FAN seems to be capable of low speed.

    _Problem is the same, even if the M400 is outside 9 ° c! _

    On all the M400, we, the problem is the same.

    HM, I wonder why you open a new thread. I mean, I have read the solution and the last of them is the BIOS 2.1N.

    So, please contact a Service partner to install this BIOS or google for it, since theres no alternative at the moment. :(

  • HP 15 F018dx: Error notice when you try to search the drivers + occasional noise from the fan

    Hello. I just did a scan of software on the hp site and it recommended related diagnostic software and I installed it.

    But when I try to do a software scan and the pilot of "search for the updates and recommendations" on the website of HP support for my laptop model, I always have this:

    "HP has encountered an error when trying to analyze your product.

    Please verify that your product is turned on and connected, and then try again in a few minutes.

    Or display all drivers available for your product below. »

    I'm sure that my laptop is up-to-date with software and drivers because my HP support assistant software can't find nothing available, but I'm just curious as to why I get this error on the hp site.

    Another thing.  Very rarely, it looks like one of the fans (or is the hard drive?) in the laptop will be rev suddenley plus enough fort. If I stop the laptop turned off and on again, the fan noise is back to normal - nice and very quiet. Even just quickly put the laptop to sleep and wake it will fan (if that's what it is) back to normal. This loud fan noise maybe happens once every 2 weeks if I average.

    Initially, I thought that this problem of fan noise may be caused or related to a game (asphalt 8) that seems to cause fans to redouble efforts in general (but this casual loud fan noise I'm talking is much stronger than that) when the game is played and the problem seems to occur more frequently with installed. However, I uninstalled it for a few days (although I don't know if I did a reboot after that I uninstalled it) and it arrived this morning after starting with past nothing. I suppose it could still be linked to the game, but I'm not sure. I restarted the laptop and now it is fine.

    As I said that the problem occurs very rarely and most of the time my laptop is very quiet, but still I would like to understand/fix the issue if I could. It of one of the reasons why I was trying just a software/driver scan to see if something is recommended on the site but when I do this pilot analysis I get this error and have always.

    Thanks for any help or suggestion.

    Hi @tomstar,

    Thank you for posting. I read your post, and I understand that you received the error message when you try to run a verification of updates and recommended software on the HP Web site. You need not worry since this could be a problem connecting to the HP Web site.

    For the issue of fan, here's a document can help: computers laptops HP-Fan is Noisy and runs constantly, PC is hotter than normal

    Let me know how it goes.

    To say thank you, click on the "thumbs-up". Accept the post as a solution, if your problem solved, so that other people have the same problem can see it.

  • Satellite U500 - 11G - noise of the fan speed after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Satellite U500 - 11G.
    I've recently updated the BIOS because my CPU fan did not work under Ubuntu,
    But after the update, my CPU fan speed is faster then normal and make a lot of noise (even if the CPU is cool) when I use Windows 7 is still stay on fast speed making a lot of noise.

    Do we sort of degrading the BIOS or thw way to earn the slow CPU fan speed?

    Concerning
    Sagar

    Update BIOS because of Linux? You know that Linux is not possible on this laptop model?

    In any case, to reduce the fan sped Please reduce the cooling in saving settings method.
