Hello, today I encountered this message when starting my PC. The only solution is to disable secure boot in the BIOS. If I re-enable it, the message reappears.

Your motherboard or BIOS has triggered a hardware failsafe. This usually happens when the CPU cooler fails or thermal paste degrades, prompting the motherboard to enter Safe Mode and halt booting to prevent permanent heat damage.  Coretemp is a good temperature monitoring app.

 

Possibly the CPU fan is not spinning.

Use air duster, see if it helps.

Get the dust bunnies out of the laptop.
Charge the battery fully before running any intensive applications. Your laptop will overheat if it has to both charge and run at turbo speed.

To mitigate the heat problem you should use a laptop cooler.

 

Is this a gaming laptop like an Omen?


If not using the Omen game hub, in the Advanced Power Plan, set the percent processor utilization to %99 instead of %100 to prevent going into turbo. This can make a huge difference in temperature. Note that the OGM overrides the power plan settings.

It has nothing to do with temperatures or fans; the PC works perfectly with secure boot disabled.

Sorry, I do not know spanish and I tried a google translate and it indicated heat or fan problem.  Perhaps our expert @GOLD_MASTER can help,.
