Hi @mahinsoni4 ,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Product. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

It sounds like your HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0100ax is facing two primary issues: overheating when plugged in and slow boot-up times. Let's address both problems one by one:

1. Overheating While Charging

If your laptop overheats primarily when charging and in use, it could be due to several factors:

Steps to Address Overheating:

Update BIOS and Drivers: Ensure your laptop's BIOS and all drivers, especially the graphics and chipset drivers, are up to date. An outdated BIOS can cause issues with power management.

Change Power Settings: It could be that the system is automatically boosting performance when plugged in, which causes the CPU or GPU to overwork and generate excess heat.

• Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
• Select Change plan settings for your current plan.
• Click on Change advanced power settings.
• Under Processor power management, set the maximum processor state to 90% or lower when plugged in.

Disable Turbo Boost (Intel Processors): If your system has an Intel processor, Turbo Boost can push your CPU to higher speeds, generating heat. You can disable it:

• Enter the BIOS on startup by pressing the F10 key.
• Look for settings related to "Intel Turbo Boost" and disable it.

NVIDIA Control Panel Settings: If your laptop has an NVIDIA GPU, you can adjust its power settings to "Optimal Power" when plugged in.

• Right-click on the desktop and open NVIDIA Control Panel.
• Go to Manage 3D settings.
• Under Power management mode, choose Optimal power.

Check for Dust and Clean the Laptop: Dust buildup inside your laptop could be causing poor airflow and overheating.

• Clean the cooling vents with compressed air.
• If possible, open the laptop and clean the fan and heatsink (if you're comfortable with it).

2. Slow Boot-Up Time

If your laptop used to boot in 2-3 seconds but now takes much longer, here are some steps to troubleshoot and speed it up:

Steps to Improve Boot Time:

Disable Startup Programs: Too many programs loading during startup can slow down boot times.

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
• Go to the Startup tab and disable any unnecessary programs.

Run Disk Cleanup: Clear out temporary files and unnecessary system files.

• Go to This PC.
• Right-click on your SSD and select Properties.
• Click on Disk Cleanup and select the files to delete.

Update Windows and Drivers: Ensure your Windows and all drivers, especially storage-related drivers, are up to date.

Check for Malware: Malware can slow down boot times. Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or another antivirus software to rule this out.

Enable Fast Startup: Windows has a "fast startup" feature that can speed up boot time.

• Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
• Select Choose what the power buttons do.
• Click Change settings that are currently unavailable, and then check the box for Turn on fast startup.

Check for BIOS Updates: A BIOS update can sometimes improve performance and boot times. You can download the latest BIOS from HP’s support website.
