Hello, I had purchased a "HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p117ne (ENERGY STAR)" and for the first few months it runed normally but slowly and slowly it started to heat more and more(even the CPU and HDD).
Now, If I run anything it gets very close to overheating(and sometimes does overheat).
I saw that my Hard Disk Drive and the 2 CPU(or one might be a Graphics Card(GPU)) heat alot with the Hard Disk Drive heating sometimes more.
I Uninstalled the Operating System(Windows) partially, but it still overheated EVEN AT BIOS/UEFI.
I fully uninstalled the OS, so I was left with it saying "Boot Device Not Found"..... but it heated only a little less but still it heated as if I am playing a heavy game and have opened 25 tabs of a browser.
I Removed the Hard Disk Dive, then I got almost surprised that the laptop was bringing this much heat even with now the HDD removed and BIOS/UEFI at its original form(the old one).
So, What can I do with this Notebook/Laptop which even heats(Close to the max or overheating temperature), at the old/original BIOS/UEFI with the Hard Disk Drive(HDD) removed?
