Overheating issues.

[TanoIT]

Hi guys,

2 years ago I purchased HP Omen 17 (wl204nl). I have some problems with laptop overheating when under load.

CPU temperature increase until it reaches temperatures of 80/87°C, while I'm playing any kind of videogame (from CS:GO to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare). I've always had these temperatures, but I tought it was normal since it is a laptop, until a friend told me he was 10/12°C lower than me in the same videogames.

BIOS is updated and HP CoolSense is always setted ON.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

use the following steps:

• Shut down the computer, and then inspect and clean the exterior vents to remove dust buildup by blowing air through the vent openings. Dust can accumulate inside the vent openings and around internal cooling components, preventing the removal of heat.

For more information on reducing heat inside your computer, see Reducing Heat Inside the PC.

• After you remove the dust, turn on the computer. If the error message persists, continue with these steps.
• Perform a hard reset. Performing a hard reset can reset recorded thermal values in memory and enable you to use the computer again, even if only for a short time to access and save any important files before service.

For more information on performing a hard reset, see Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues.

• In some cases, updating the BIOS might help prevent this error from occurring. For more information on how to update the BIOS, see Updating the BIOS.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
