@chandra_07,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Thank you for sharing your concern. Heat issues — especially in hotter, dustier climates like India — are very common for slim convertible laptops like the HP Pavilion x360 series. Let’s go through some key things you can check and do:

---

🔹 1. Environment Factors:

• High room temperature (above 30°C) can cause laptops to heat up faster.

• Dust inside the vents and fans can block airflow, causing overheating even when doing light tasks.

---

🔹 2. First Checks You Can Do:

• Feel the vent areas — is hot air coming out? If not, the fan might be blocked or dirty.

• Listen for fan noise — if it's very quiet or sounds weird, the fan might not be working properly.

• Check background apps in Task Manager — heavy apps or too many startup programs can keep the CPU busy even when you "just turn it on."

---

🔹 3. Quick Fixes to Try:

• Clean the vents gently using compressed ("canned") air or a soft brush (carefully, from outside the laptop).

• Elevate the back of the laptop slightly to improve airflow.

• Use HP Support Assistant to run a hardware diagnostics test (especially the "Thermal" test).

• Update BIOS and drivers — sometimes thermal management is improved in newer BIOS versions.

---

🔹 4. Longer-Term Solutions:

• Consider using a cooling pad — they really help in hot climates!

• If cleaning and updates don’t help, the thermal paste (between CPU and heatsink) may have dried out — a service technician can replace it.

• If the laptop is still under warranty, HP Service Center should clean and reapply cooling solutions professionally.

---

Summary:

• Dust + High temperature = very common cause.

• Start by cleaning vents and checking software loads.

• If needed, professional cleaning or re-pasting will solve it.
