Y460P: Fan permanently on high speed

Previously, the fan would be completely silent, unless I ran an intensive application (such as a game). Now, whenever I start windows, the fan starts at the speed higher within a few minutes even if I am not under what whether intensive. He is strong enough to create a persistent noise.

I removed back panel so that I could clean the dust on the grids that could have blocked the entrance to the fan, but I don't see any difference subsequently, the fan is still noisy after a start.

Laptop feels cold to the touch as well.

Any ideas? The laptop has is no longer guaranteed.

I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS, and it seems to be much better. The fan actually now lower in volume. I guess it was the BIOS settings that control the fan speed...

  • New z500 - fan runs at high speed on startup

    Hello

    I just bought a new Ideapad, a MBYP9GE Z500, that I got no windows, when I turn on the laptop it works in the BIOS. The problem I have is that the fan starts in high speed immediately and it is very noisy at start up. Is this normal? I want to say how is possible that the fan is noisy so if I am not under what whether intensive? Maybe it's because I have not installed yet any system? Or is it my laptop malfunction?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi neokenchi,

    Thank you for your response. Yesterday, I installed Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers, that solved the problem. The fan runs at high speed before installing a system was apparently the default heat setting, as you suggested.

    Thanks again!

  • I have 4 GB of RAM, but when my i play any game, my CPU fan runs at high speed and my system gets shut down within minutes.

    I have 4 GB of RAM, but when my i play any game for example NFS most wanted, my CPU fan runs at high speed and my system gets shut down within minutes. Help me solve this problem

    If you overclocked?  If so, cancel that.  If the games you play are poorly written, it is not that you can do about it.  If you have not cleaned the dust and lint from your computer within a certain time, you should do that because it accumulates and causes overheating.  For desktop computers, remove the cover and carefully use compressed gas to blow off the dust, especially around the fins in the processor heat sink and air ducts.  For a laptop, I'll ring gas compressed through the ventilation openings.

    Good luck.

  • S50 satellite - B 15 P - Fans running at high speed and system crash

    Hello

    I have a new SATELLITE S50 - B 15, i7-5500U, 8 GB Ram, SSD etc., IV and v have some problems with it.

    for unknown reasons the CPU fan starts to operate at high speed, even if the temperature of the CPU hit is not 35%.
    It also froze about 10 times since I got it (April this year).

    The only way to make it work again would be me to hold the power button down until stop and start it back up.
    Once launched upward there is no mention of potential problems in the newspapers of events other than the forced closure.

    I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced problems?

    Thank you

    Forcing order restores the fan activity and performance?
    Hmm it sounds like there must be some sort of system emits probably the bottom of some process locks the CPU and therefore increases the activity of the fan.

    You could start the the Task Manager and in the process tab, you will find all background applications that would appeal to the CPU.
    Click the CPU column to display all the processes of loading the CPU.

    However, you can also try to change the option of cooling method that is available in Windows Advanced Power options.
    Go to control panel → power options.
    Click here on the power plan that is currently in use.
    Then click on advanced power options and access the cooling method.
    Here you can change it from active to passive.

    In addition, you can decrease the status of CPU max at 90-05%

  • Satellite A100 - the fan runs at high speed after idle standby

    Hello

    My laptop is Satellite A100-912.

    The problem is when I suspend it for more the a few minutes when the fan is running at high speed. This occurs on both Windows XP and Linux GNU. When the temperature of the two nuclei will more then 51 degrees C fan slows down and begins to work as expected. Suspended for a short time (about a minute or two) the fan speed is OK.

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS.

    Someone knows why?

    Question: the laptop work properly not to mention that the fan is rotating fast?

    Generally after updating the BIOS you must always load the BIOS default settings.
    In the BIOS, press F9 (load by default), and then press F10 to save the changes.

  • HP dx2000MT: why fan runs on high speed

    Hello, the fan in this machine works sometimes at high speed, can someone tell me why or what I can do to stop this please?

    The most common cause of a computer running at max speed fan is a processor overheating.

    This can be caused by:

    -Extended heavy load on the processor.

    -Malware can cause this.

    -If you use many programs at the same time as background tasks, who will do as well.

    -Dirty/dusty in the computer heat sinks.

    -Malfunctioning components from the motherboard.

    -Bad placement of the computer.

    -Desktop computers should be placed where they receive lots of air circulation.

    -They should also be placed away from heater vents / air conditioning floor. AC vents may be tempting to cool the machine but will cause condensation and destroy it.

    -Observe the fresh air intakes where on the computer. Generally low and/or front of the chassis. If there is a substantive contribution, move the unit out of the carpet and on a hard surface.

    -Do not keep the Tower in a small enclosed space. Computer Cabinet should never have the door closed with the runinng machine.

    -If it was a laptop, you also to maintain it on a soft surface such as beds and prefer to use it on a desk, or on the binder or other similar when surface into the fold.

    -Vista-era of HP computers are completely garbage as well. (Sorry HP, but it's true). Watch by substituting a newer computer. The new HP machines are not nearly as terrible as those made when Vista was released.

  • HP 8510W boot not until the cool, the fan runs at high speed

    I did a little research but didn't really much other than dust cleaning. I did this, even removed the fan and the heat sink.

    Operating system: 32-bit Win7

    Early days of cold, boots upwards, normally, the fan turns at slow speed. CPUID Hardware Monitor shows all the time in the range 30 c - 60 c. From a web browser will cause the fan to spped, finally at full throttle, CPUID HW Monitor says:

    TZ2_ up to 90 C

    TZ5_ up to 100 C

    Remote1 up to 90 C

    Other times remain in the range of 30 c - 60 c

    The task manager's performance tab shows 1%-3% CPU, 30-40% consumption of Mem.

    Close all does not help, time remain high and the fan continues to run at high speed. Reset does not succeed, it will cut down, try to restart and stop again. Finally, it will sometimes get a screen where Windows thinks it could not start and wants to fix/reinstall the files, or go back to a restore point. If to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, it will start normally with the low fan speed until something starts to run (CPUID HW Monitor and Task Manager do not cause the fan speed).

    So nobody knows what TZ2_, the TZ5_ and the Remote1 map 30 5 8510W mother? Is this a real plus temp likely situation, ot possibly a problem with bios/driver not reading sensor properly?

    Well well, so far, no response, but I seem to have solved the problem. I tried reverting heatsink composed of all chips connected to the conduct of heat with no improvement. By checking things right after a stop, I noticed that the graphics chip was too hot to the touch even with the new complex. This meant that it was not the heat pipe.

    Ordered a used one from eBay, put it in and now it's stay nice and cool, not more than 60 C.

    The part number for the heat pipe is 452227-001.

  • Re: Satellite P750: the fan rotates at high speed without load

    Hello
    I am a developer of software for the Germany and often uncomfortable in my quiet office. Well, since I got my new P750 I am facing a strange problem: while the CPU load remains very low, fan works suddenly 71% while the cpu temperature is 44% in health monitor. If I unplug the cable that the fan immediately gets quiet at 0%.

    for normal use with connected to the fan cable * always * works 64%, while having temperatures of 40%.

    I checked the settings in the power manager for the parameters of cooling system. If it is set for maximum performance on the cable and balanced on the battery, it seems completely unnecessary to let the fan run all the time, so only ist very low temperature.

    Hello

    As you probably know cooling fans are controlled by sensors on the motherboard and laptop users don t have much influence on the activity of the fan.

    In my opinion for your work you need high performance t n so I recommend you to use the power plan balanced all the time. In the balanced power plan change advanced power options > cooling method optimized battery and it should reduce the activity of fan.

    It is the same on my Satellite P500 and the laptop runs pretty quiet. Also, make sure that the laptop is placed on the desktop and noting may block the ventilation openings.

    Greetings.

    Around the 7.0.1 release there has been a change for the algorithms of the FAN speed.

    For normal fan speed definition which was 50%, 60%, which is exactly what you watch when the 7.0.8 is now running code.

    Basically, this is the expected behavior.

    Thank you

  • Tecra S11 - CPU fan is high speed

    Hello

    We have a problem with nine Tecra S11 / Windows 7 64-bit. The CPU fan is noisy high speed during ignition and start Windows. No change after logon. Speed remains unchanged up to go to the sleep mode once. After waking up, everything is OK.

    For me, it seems to be a problem with the firmware (BIOS). Update V1.70 but no change. We have same problem with the S11.

    Any ideas?

  • HP Z820 workstation: Z820 HP does start, fans at high speed, no BIOS, no signal in the monitor.

    Hello world

    My listing of workstation: HP Z820, Dual Xeon E5-2687W @ 3.1 - 3, 8 GHz, graphic card Nvidia quadro K5000, 64 GB RAM, 2 x 500 GB HARD drive.
    The workstation is still under warranty.

    They arrived after upgrade to Windows 10 (from 8.1 to Windows) and put such BIOS updated as recommended by HP support Assistant.

    I was on the process to refresh the 10 Windows , then the system automatically tried rebooting to complete the update, but he never did it again! and then the fans running at full speed. After waiting for 2-3 minutes, I had to hold the power button to turn off the computer.

    After waiting for about 10 minutes, I tried to start the computer, but the same thing happened: you press the button power and then after about a minute , fans rotating at high speed, no signal, no BIOS, no noise, no power in the keyboard or mouse, the blue LED light to the rear.

    So I let the computer without power for 7 hours... (The power cable is disconnected).

    At 11:00: reconnected the power cable (HDD and DVD ROM are DISCONNECTED) and tried to start but the same thing happened.

    Now, I'm on google to find a solution:

    1. power? (Have not yet been tested food.)
    2 motherboard? No damage to the capacitors or anything else.
    3 reset the BIOS/CMOS? (Power disconnected cable) Removed the battery and put it back it, held the CMOS button for 5 seconds.
    4 graphics card? Replaced the K5000 Quadro with a Quadro 4000.
    5. exercise of the power of the system? held the power button with the power cord unplugged for 30 seconds.

    None of the above solves the problem but now when you press the power button / the fans start to run at high speed immediately! This got worse?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    The problem is a faulty motherboard and it was replaced under warranty.

  • zbook u15: fan at high speed after installed windows 10

    Yesterday, I updated to windows 7 pro for windows 10 pro.  I have rarely heard my fan in windows 7 and only when I was cad or had a large number of open images.  With 10 windows, my fan is at high speed all the time.

    Suggestions?

    Ok

    Found two programs running that caused the fan to high speed.

    One was post 2012 31% of the processor chips

    other was

    AlertusDesktop or 32% of the processor.

    E-mail private, removed the Alertusdesktop for now and normal operation.

  • [Aspire V3 - 771G] Fan runs at full speed without reason

    Hello world! I come here after some time to research how to fix this weird problem.

    The fact is: at the time I push the power button on my Acer Aspire V3 - 771 G, starts the fan rotating at high speed, making a horrible noise.

    I have this laptop for 3 years now and this problem is only 5 days ago.

    I did nothing to do except clean the fan with a compressor of air (by ventilation, without desasembling the pc).

    I've tried several things:

    -First of all, by using SpeedFan to monitor the single my laptop fan (useless because SpeedFan does not reconigze the fan)

    -Control of the overheating (at least none in the task of program manager used a lot of CPU, and all temperatures are correct, between 40 and 50 degrees idle, screenshot: http://www.noelshack.com/2016-18-1462730392-capturegbfg.png )

    -Then, after reading a few posts, remove the battery (nothing happens)

    -Then, I check the BIOS for any < fan="" setting=""> > (there's nothing like this in the BIOS Acer (the most recent version for my laptop)

    -Finally, I tried you use software such as NotebookFanControl or ACFanControl (nothing too, he just tell me that the fan is running at 164%, crazy?)

    So after all these things, I'm fed up and my laptop computer fan just keep running like a beast. It is a very big problem for me because I'm audio recording and this sound quite kidding with my voice on the record. And now, I can't change my laptop, for a few reasons.

    So I'm begging for your help, I except someone could help me with this.
