HP Pavilion 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop PC 15-ec2000 (2P6B1AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hello everyone,

I have a Hp Pavilion 15-ec2021n gaming laptop. My laptop was working just fine for the first year. However, lately it has started causing some problems. The laptop overheats and operates on 65-75 C on normal usage such as chrome and MS word. The battery drops to zero very fast, as well. When I first bought it, it used to last up to 7 hours for light usage. Nowadays, however, it only last for 3 hours maximum considering that I have changed the battery from Hp authorized service shop. When gaming. the laptops heat reaches 95C and starts to lag and drop FPS. 

I have done the following to fix the problem, but observed no noticeable results:

  1. I changed the thermal paste and used MX4 ensuring enough paste was applied to both CPU and GPU.
  2. I updated the BIOS and Drivers to the latest versions. 
  3. I changed my laptop's GPU to the NVIDEA Geforce RTX 3050.

I hope anyone can help me solving this issue. 

Thanks in advance.
