Noisy Fan

[ Edited ]

When I run an online game and at the same time, I run the same game in a virtual machine on the same laptop, my fan begun to make a loud noise. I've just did that yesterday and my fan never made a noise before. I've just tried Steps 1 and 2 from: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02856779&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...

Re: Noisy Fan

Is this happening only when you play a particular game? What is the game you are tying to run? Does the notebook work fine during the non gaming hours?

Re: Noisy Fan

The game I've run is RF online. It just started to make a noise yesterday. It never had made a noise since I tried to play both games on a virtual pc and actual pc at the same time just yesterday and still, the noise is on going until now. Thanks Jolly_Rogers for the reply :manvery-happy:

 

Sorry if I made grammatical errors because my english is not that good :smileylol:

Re: Noisy Fan

If you have updated the latest BIOS for your unit, can you check in the BIOS if you have a setting for the "Fan always On" and disable this?
