Loud fan noise (Inspiron 15 5548)

For some reason, my computer has frequently produced a loud fan noise when I'm with her. For most of the time, it is silent. However, there are often times where I didn't even open several Web pages, but it grows stronger. There are two levels of intensity sound (the second level is so strong that it can attract the attention of people sitting next to me).

It's only a laptop 2 months old, so I'm not sure why it becomes strong. Also, I have 12 GB of RAM, which adds to my confusion.

Any suggestions or reasoning? Thank you!

  • Pavilion 15 p248ne: loud fan noise and vibrate

    Hello, so he started to happen when I move the laptop one day (when it's on) fan me all of a sudden very hard and the laptop everything vibrated, it sounded like the fan was touch something running which makes vibration and noise, it sounds exactly like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkCLubSukzI I fixed it by restarting the laptop (sleeping too work looks like everything that makes the fan stop) but now It happens randomly, the normal fan noise has changed and there sometimes as fort again, as demonstrated in the video and then I have to restart to fix it. I tried to open up the laptop, but a few screws were too hard and stuck lol so I gave up. and I cleaned the vents of the dust.

    Hey @amro2,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    You mentioned that you hear a thud and the HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p248ne vibrates when this happens. You thought that it sounded like the fan touched something in rotation. I also watched the YouTube video that you had provided for me. This was very helpful! Thank you.

    Perhaps one of the possibilities is that the fan should be cleaned.

    Even if you had not indicated that you do not encounter any problems with the heat, there is a document called a Fan is Noisy and runs constantly. This document has troubleshooting steps that may help. I realize that you don't have more intermittently as you a question on a regular basis, however, the steps described in the document can lead you in the right direction for resolution.

    I'll provide you with HP Pavilion 17 Notebook FHCP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide for your reference.

    If none of the steps above help, and the laptop is still under warranty (please use the auditor of the guarantee if you are not sure), I wouldn't open Notepad. While opening the laptop should not void your warranty, if any damage is caused during the process without contacting HP Support then it can void your warranty. If you are still in warranty, please use the following link to create yourself a file number:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/

    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
    Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
    Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

  • (R5 Aurora Alienware desktop computer) loud fan noise

    Hi, I recently bought a desktop computer Alienware Aurora R5 for the games.

    It has graphics GTX 1070, 32 GB of RAM and i7 CPU.

    The PC itself is great and if I play movies/music or make internet surfing is very quiet.

    But if I try to make games with it the fan noise becomes unbearably high... almost like an airplane taking off.

    I updated my BIOS and DELL technician has replaced all fans inside the PC, but they do not at all help.

    Are there not in some way you can help me? Thank you in advance!

    @MagR5 @Okumam > the final advice of the forum are-in your 30 day return window-, contact Dell & initiate the full return of your PC; When asked the reason for the return, tell them 'it's too noisy. " you don't want a replacement power, as you can imagine he will heal the issue & downtime doing an exchange of guarantee with the same party will strive to shorten your window of return etc. the Rep, now painted in a corner, should be open to a partial refund of $50. If you do it right, you should be able to guarantee a ~ $50 refund, & then shop around for a new power provide or seek a different fix for noisy here. Stroll in your transaction verbal with them, ready to back actually as a last resort, then order a new office with their 850 then go if it suits you while searching for a discount on a new one for your trouble. Most of the owners have now understood that a live chat or selling a can get a discount on a new element, where using their simple online by yourself cannot. Good luck

    Recommendation to receive a block of power SUPPLY from Dell free exchange:

    I use my Aurora R5 with an i7 7600 and GTX 1070 mainly for RVS with a live HTC and had the same problem with the PSU 460W fan revving up and down all the time without load on the machine (!) and open a folder with Dell online support. In the process, I could prove that the behaviour of the PSU is a systematic failure, which can be reproduced as follows:

    If you run a diagnostic self-test on BACK ePSA / bios level (press F12 repeatedly during the startup of your PC) during the game "memory test" PSU fan will do limit it sounds known. To make sure that it is not the CPU or caissons fans you can run the test with the case open, fan power supply sounds diffently.

    In Windows 10 If you open "Steam VR" usually the PSU revvs down, but as soon as you close (!) VR steam revvs fan power supply upwards like crazy for at least a minute without any load to the machine.

    Dell support yesterday confirmed they got the same systematic results and agreed to share the power supply to my home free of charge under warranty and a technique.

    During the debate, I'm going to scrutiny if the swap it 1:1 or replaced by another type of power supply.

    If your diet of nuisance is model D460AM, the above remedies / method implies that you may receive a repeat offender if they send another D460AM

  • Pavilion 15-p114dx: HP Pavilion 15-p114dx loud fan noise

    Just got my spouse the Pavilion 15-p114dx (put in place today), and I noticed that the fan is noisy sporadically.

    Will it work alone for a few minutes, then you will hear it become progressively stronger, then it's all just loud and clear and I can clearly hear it across the room.  He's going to stay strong for about 60 seconds then calms down again once.

    Is this normal for this machine?  Should I be worried?

    Whatever he's Word and several websites (CNN, BBC, CNBC and its various email accounts)... Is there something I can do?

    Is it because these sites constantly update?  He used Chrome and Firefox and Internet Explorer and it happened on all three browsers.

    Hi @paditur ,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you have a great experience with us!

    I see that you are worried about the sound of your fan. You have nothing to worry the fan will run almost all the time and this behavior is normal for laptop computers. If you are really worried then clean it using this document from HP reduce the heat inside the PC to prevent overheating.

  • Start button / stop / flashing loud fan noise

    I GT5622 desktop and for awhile I was getting a lot of blue screen of the error codes and the computer would shut down or freeze and I have to press the power button to go back... Told me to clean the inside out with can air that I did, now it comes on sometimes and sometimes it won't I'll have to keep start to come, it will just make a sound for me noise from the fan and the power button LCD light will not be on now, LCD power light flashes and the rather I'm on the internet or not whenever I move the mouse the power button blinks and I can hear the fan start strong I need my computer for school, please help with this problem... Thank you

    See the documentation provided with your computer or the web site of manufacturer support.  The flashing light is almost surely you give an error message and if you can interpret what it is telling you by looking at the model/types of flashes on the support web site, you can then replace or repair what is defective.

    At idle, I can hear the HARD drive - I can live with that.
    Fire use, desk and surf the internet and as the fan lights up now and then to 53% and really loud! -Its disturbing when I'm trying to study?
    When I play games the fan is 53% permanently, and after like 5-15 min, to happen to + 80%, what is really strong? -I can live with the fan when I play games, but not when I study or use it for use of the lamp in the train or the school.

    > great but when I play games it rattles

    Have you noticed the usual fan noise or noise appears as something wrong with ball bearing cooling fan would be?

    It s nothing unusual as fans of cooling would turn faster everything!
    While gaming, the GPU and the CPU produce a lot of heat. This increases the temperature and therefore the propellers rotate faster. Here's how it works!

    But if the fans create an unusual sound, then that would mean that the cooling module may be defective and THIS should be verified by technicians is why would I wait not for any solution, but IF it's a hardware problem, the solution is just a replacement of parts.

  • Portege R700 - 11G - high and annoying fan noise

    Dear friends:

    I have a Portege R700 - 11G, I bought only two weeks ago.

    The computer works fine, except for the high and annoying fan noise.

    Even do nothing, only to start and sometimes in the bios Setup, the fan is always turn with a temperature of 40 ° or 50.

    I've updated the BIOS and I don't know what to do.

    Can someone help me please?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi mate

    Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!

    There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed.

    In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.

    Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices

    Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise.

  • BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise

    The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.

    Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.

    Greetings.

    Hello Jose

    It is very nice to hear that you are happy now. I read your previous assignments and I can understand you this annoying issue with cooling fan, but now you can see this laptop manufacturer is trying to make the product better, even if the product is on the market.
