Laptop getting heated while charging

[anandnathaniel]

Hello,

I have a "HP Spectre x360 - 13t-ap000 CTO" 13.3 inch convertible, it is getting heated frequently during charging. I'm using a 65W power adapter which came with the laptop. I had to use a floor mount fan always to use the laptop.

I also took to a nearby service center and they did not find any dust inside the laptop.

Please assist.

Thank you, Anand

@anandnathaniel, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

Update BIOS & Drivers

Go to HP Spectre x360 - 13t-ap000 CTO Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support

Update:

BIOS

Chipset

Graphics (Intel)

Thermal framework or power management tools

Battery Charging Limit

HP models let you limit battery charging to 80% to reduce heat. Look for this in the BIOS.

Check Background Usage

Open Task Manager and look for CPU usage while charging.

Disable or uninstall apps that spike CPU usage.

I hope this helps.
