Heavily Customized 15t-3200 ENVY Fan Runs Continually WONT SHUT OFF!

 

 

Model: HP ENVY 15t-3200 Notebook PC

 

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

 

PC Components: Processor - Intel i7-3610QM /2.30GHz 

                                Memory - 16.0 GB

                                System Type - 64-bit

                                Hard Drive - 750GB 7200 rpm 

                                Anti-Virus - AVG Anti-Virus FREE 2012

 

Changes Made: Installed Minecraft 

 

Question: After installing and playing Minecraft, I shut the program down along with the computer. Afterwards, whenever I use my PC for anything the fan will run nonstop! This intern depletes my battery life significantly. What happened? Can THIS BE FIXED?!?!?!

Hi,

 

Dowload and install the latest Intel chipset driver from here.

Restart the system.

 

Dowload and install the latest Essential System Updates from here.

Restart the system.

 

Uninstall the ATI/AMD graphic driver first. Check the link below:

How to uninstall ATI / AMD graphic card drivers from a Microsoft Windows 7.

 

Download and install the latest HP driver for swichable graphic from here.

Restart the system and check the result.

Re: Heavily Customized 15t-3200 ENVY Fan Runs Continually WONT SHUT OFF!

ok, i did everything that you said: I dowloaded and installed the latest Intel chipset driver, I dowloaded and installed the latest Essential System Updates, and I uninstalled the ATI/AMD graphics. But with in the process of unistalling the ATI/AMD graphics, I was undable to complete the steps after the Installshield Wizard uninstalled the AMD Catalyst Install Manager and system start up. 

 

What should I do? the fan still runs nonstop. 

 

 

Thank you

Perform a hard reset, follow the steps below.

 

  1. Unplug the AC adapter from the notebook PC.
  2. Remove the battery from the notebook battery compartment.
  3. Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station, disconnect cables to printers or devices such as external monitors, USB memory sticks or SD cards, headset or external speakers, mouse or auxiliary keyboard, turn off WIFI and Bluetooth wireless devices.
  4. Press and hold down the power button for about 30 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.
  5. Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook PC; but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
  6. Press the power button to turn the notebook PC back on.
  7. If prompted to boot into Safe Mode or select a special type of start up, use the arrow keys to highlight Start Windows Normally , and then press the enter key.
