HP envy runs hot, possibly alarmingly so

[NateMk50]

Fans run constantly from startup, even under light use. Not sure if the temperature readings I'm getting are normal or alarmingly high but laptop seems to be running hot always. Have tried dusting, updating bios, and nothing has changed.

@NateMk50,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

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 perform a system test on the computer to make sure that all the hardware components are working fine on the computer.

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

If the test pass, then download and install HP support assistant from the below link and install all the Windows.

Here is how it is done.
