I did not have to use my laptop a lot the first year 2018-2019. As my academic course was skilled based so I did not require it much, therefore I did not notice it. However, I had to use it more for my current research related course in 2020. That is when I realized and noticed, that the internal fan keeps setting off, even when I just turn on the system. I only use it with MS word, PowerPoint and Firefox browser and the system is getting heated up. It is getting worst by day. I think it is something to do with the battery. Can you help me with it? I have tried using the Laptop cooler stand last year, it does not help. The fans keep setting off and its loud. I do not have warrenty, I just want to know how to fix it.

Dear Krazy Toad,

Thank you so much for your help. I followed your instructions, and I updated the system, it is still getting heated up and setting the fan off.  What should I do now? Could it be hardware problem?
