overheating and ventilation

[kalyklos]

Hello,

I have my laptop HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0 since 2 two years and never and major problem with it.

Since a few months i noticed some problems : computer overheat when it is charging (even when i choose energy saving mode in the power mode option, or recommended mode).  My second problem make the use very unpleasant : often, when computer overheat (80-90 degrees) or when it is cold (40-50 degrees), the fan is running at full speed for few seconds, then become slow few seconds and run fully again etc..

These problem can happens when i'm playing, or just work.

I cleaned the dust and changed the thermal paste on CPU and GPU.

Does someone knows how can I fix it ?

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting overheating issues on your notebook, I am glad to assist you.

Symptoms of heat issues and causes of excessive heat  

The following list describes some of the issues caused by overheating in the notebook:  

• Games stop responding during play.  

• Windows stops responding during use.  

• Fans inside the notebook become louder because they are spinning faster as the laptop gets hot, to remove the heat.  

• When starting the laptop, it sometimes stops at a black screen and does not open into Windows. Windows usually stop responding when it does open.  

The following list describes some causes of excessive heat:  

• Dust inside the laptop.  

• A new component, such as a hard drive, is added. The extra component causes the power supply to work harder and generate more heat. Extra heat also radiates off the new component and adds to the temperature inside the case.  

• Over time, some cooling fans might slow down and wear out, as the laptop is getting hot, depending on the usage of the laptop.  

• High ambient room temperature.  

Step 1: Removing dust and lint by cleaning vents  

Step 2: Ensuring proper space for ventilation  

Step 3: Updating the BIOS  

Step 4: Using HP CoolSense technology  

Step 5: Placing the notebook in a cooler room  

Step 6: Testing for hardware failure  

If the hardware has failed, capture the failure ID and revert for further assistance.  

 
If the Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly, PC is Warmer than Normal: Click here for more details. 

I hope that helps.
