Something running almost constantly

[jacquelynm]

For the past two-three days after about five hours of having the computer on or the same time every night all of a sudden the laptops fans start running. I'm not sure if it's the fans or processor but something keeps running and it never completely stops. It's still running the rest of the night until I shut down the computer. It sounds like a program taking up a lot of cpu is open but I have nothing open except a browser and spotify which I have always used and this never has happened. It does quiet sometimes but never completely stops. I always hear it running to an extent. This happened once before last year but it only was one day and never again until now.

I am also curious if a laptop is on a bed about seven feet from a wall where a door was slamming against the wall while the door itself was also being hit like a hammer three times would that affect the laptop at all?

Perform clean boot it will disable 3rd party startup apps and the one causing this. You can use those app normally when open it just won't launch automatically.

Perform Clean Boot:
1. Press Windows + R, type msconfig, hit Enter.
2. General tab: "Select Selective startup," uncheck "Load startup items."
3. Services tab: Check "Hide all Microsoft services," then "Disable all"; Apply.
4. Startup tab: Click "Open Task Manager," disable all enabled items; close Task Manager.
5. OK > Restart; Now check.

If issue remains, monitor CPU/GPU temperatures and let me know

Tip- Don't place laptop on bed. Get cooling pad with inbuilt stands or use books for elevation but don't place it directly on bed which can block air flow.
