Hi @tam1983,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

I understand your PC running too hot. Let’s go through a few checks.

Check Airflow and Ventilation

  • Make sure the computer is placed on a flat, hard surface.
  • Keep all air vents clear of dust and obstructions.
  • Maintain at least 10–15 cm space around the device.
  • Avoid using the PC on beds, cushions, or laps.
  • Confirm cooling fans are spinning normally.

Reduce System Load

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  • Select the Processes tab.
  • Check for programs using high CPU or GPU.
  • Close unnecessary applications.
  • Restart the computer.

Clean Cooling Vents
CAUTION: Turn off the computer before cleaning.

  • Shut down the PC and disconnect power.
  • Use compressed air to clean air vents.
  • Blow air in short bursts to remove dust.
  • Hold the fan in place while cleaning if visible.
  • Reconnect power and start the PC.

Adjust Power and Performance Settings

  • Open Control Panel > Power Options.
  • Select Balanced power plan.
  • Open Change plan settings.
  • Select Change advanced power settings.
  • Set Processor power management > Maximum processor state to 95%.

Update BIOS and Drivers

  • Open HP Support Assistant.
  • Select Updates.
  • Install available BIOS and thermal driver updates.
  • Restart the computer.
  • Monitor system temperature.

I hope this helps.
