Obnoxious fan noise and overheating

[Ezzeldeen]

I'll start by specifying my specs; Core I7 8750H 16 GB RAM GTX 1050 Ti

I recently bought this laptop and have been using it primarily for gaming, the first week of using it i've had no troubles with overheating, just the fan being a bit loud. After the first week, I've noticed the fan becoming obnoxiously loud and the temperature of the laptop became really high even when not playing. The high temperatures causes stuttering when playing games every 3 seconds or so...The laptop's fan also starts becoming really loud a few minutes after startup, randomly calms down after 10 minutes or so, and then becomes loud again. Please help...

UPDATE: so i fiddled around with the hp support assistant and downloaded some drivers and the stuttering problem is fixed. However, the fan noise and the overheating still persists. Any help?

@Ezzeldeen,

Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Community,

• Does the laptop shuts down due to overheating?
• Does it freeze or lockup?

Excess heat will cause the fans to run constantly, damage components, and limit the speed of the CPU. All of these problems with high power and high heat will cause applications to work slower than normal. One of the main functions of the BIOS is to monitor the temperature and adjust the operating conditions. While the sound of the fan running all the time can be annoying, it may be the first clue that your computer is running as efficiently as possible.

Let's start with performing a hard reset on the PC to release any excessive static/power that could have cause the issue.

Turn off the computer.

Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.

Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.

Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.

Press the Power button to turn on the computer.

If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key.

If the issue persists, I would suggest here to Perform Bios Defaults:

1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
2. Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
3. On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
4. Press F10 to Save and Exit.
5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
6. Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

For starters please perform all the prescribed steps from these links to try and fix the issue- HP Notebook PCs - Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly, PC is Warmer than Normal:  https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01007591

I would suggest here is to update the Bios, and Chipset drivers on your PC from our HP support website, using this link or you can install it from HP Support Assistant.

Download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.

Refer this link to know how to use HP support assistant.

If you have followed the steps suggested and still having the issue, I would recommend you go ahead and run an extensive system test from F2(Please capture the failure ID for further assistance).

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!
