Hi @AB393,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
If your HP All-in-One PC is shutting down due to thermal issues, it means the system is overheating and triggering a safety shutdown to prevent hardware damage. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix it:
Step-by-Step Fixes
1. Clean the Vents and Fans
- Power off and unplug the PC.
- Use compressed air to blow out dust from the vents.
- If you're comfortable opening the back panel, clean the internal fan and heatsink.
2. Check Fan Functionality
- When you power on the PC, listen for the fan.
- If it’s not spinning or is unusually loud, it may need replacement.
3. Update BIOS and Drivers
- Go to HP Support and enter your PC model.
- Download and install the latest:
- BIOS update
- Chipset drivers
- Thermal management software (if available)
4. Monitor Temperatures
Use a tool like HWMonitor or Core Temp to check CPU/GPU temperatures. If idle temps are above 70°C or load temps exceed 90°C, there’s likely a cooling issue.
5. Reduce Background Load
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
- End unnecessary processes that are using high CPU or memory.
- Disable startup apps you don’t need.
6. Improve Airflow
- Ensure the PC is in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid placing it near heat sources or in enclosed spaces.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
