[Ozaaann]

I haven't used my laptop for nearly 2 days.Before this period, my laptop was running completeliy fine. But when i booted it up on 22nd of June,2025; My HP Victus laptop's CPU fan has started to make a lot of sound even while not doing anything other than keeping the pc on. The CPU fan also feels like it's loosened inside, giving out vibrations and "not-normal" sounds. The sound mentioned . Any ideas how to fix?

Hi @Ozaaann,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thank you for the detailed description; it helps narrow down the issue. Given that your Victus by HP 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop (16-r1000, Windows 11) was working fine before, but now suddenly the CPU fan is loud, vibrating, and possibly loose, here’s what you need to know and do.

Recommended Steps:

1. BIOS Restore:

1) Shut down the computer, keep the charger plugged in

2) Hold down the Windows and B buttons together while the computer is still turned off. 

3) Turn on the computer and continue to hold the Windows and B buttons until a BIOS Recovery screen appears. 

4) Follow the on-screen instructions and click on OK.

2. Update BIOS & HP System Software

Sometimes fan profiles go out of calibration due to firmware.

• Open HP Support Assistant and check for:
  • BIOS Update
  • System Diagnostics or Firmware
• Or visit your model's support page:
  🔗 Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-r1000 | HP® Support

If the BIOS update is available, install it before opening the device.

3. Run HP Hardware Diagnostics

Check if HP detects a fan issue:

• Turn off the laptop.
• Press ESC repeatedly at startup, then F2 for diagnostics.
• Choose Component Tests > Fan.

If it reports “Fan not operating correctly”, that's confirmation of a hardware issue.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
