Hello!
My laptop's fan noise has increased a lot in the last few months. I did tried the following things and the situation is still the same:
- cleaning up the fan
- completely formatting the laptop (installing windows 10 64-bit again after removing all softwares)
- replaced an old battery that had bulged
- raised and kept the laptop at an angle for better air flow
I have basic usage with my laptop - my CPU usage is currently fluctuating between 2-10% right now. I'm not sure why my fan is spinning at such high speeds and generating this noise.
Can someone please tell me what is going wrong? I don't think its a driver/software issue since I just formatted my laptop. How do I check if its a hardware issue? or some other issue? Can this be fixed without replacing the fan.
Also, the same issue persists when I use it on my new battery. So its not because of AC voltage fluctuations I guess.
Regards,
Vaishnav
