The fan is not working on my gaming laptop.

Hello ,

I purchased an HP - pavillion gaming 15 dk-0050tx 

It comes with 8gb ram , intel i7-9750H with base frequency at 2.6gHz and a gtx 1650 graphics card.

In the beginning , for a few months there were no heating issues and the fan worked and sometimes it got loud , I mean we can't expect a gaming laptop to not get loud. But the temperature never exceeded 80°C.

Recently for 3 months I've been noticing that even when the laptop is idle the temperature stays at >50°C and while gaming it touches 100°C which is too risky. I even disabled turbo boost and it didn't change the temperature drastically. This was when I noticed that my fan was always spinning at 1780 RPM and it never went above 1800RPM . Which for a gaming laptop is not good .

I updated my cool sense , my bios and everything is up to date.

The keyboard heats up and still the fans just don't work or blast any air out at all.

I used HWmonitor to check all temperature and frequencies. 

Can someone help me with why my fan is not working and how to get it to work?

Thank you.

I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is overheating.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you run a system test on the computer to make sure that there is no hardware issue.

Follow the steps in the below article to run the test.

Hello,

I bought an OMEN 15 on  July and this month i got same issue than you.

I've find out it is a fan failure, cleaning it won't fix ; you have to change the fan.

During the period of the bios update the fan runs at its maximum speed. Does it do that even for you?
