HI @idemudia,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your HP Envy x360 laptop is making fan noise and experiencing overheating issues, there are several potential reasons and solutions you can explore. Here are some steps you can take:

 

Check for Dust: Dust can accumulate inside your laptop, blocking airflow and causing overheating. Use compressed air to clean out the vents and fans. Make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area.

 

Ensure Proper Ventilation: Place your laptop on a flat, hard surface to allow proper ventilation. Using it on soft surfaces like a bed or couch can block the air intake vents.

 

Update Drivers: Ensure that your graphics and chipset drivers are up to date. Visit the official HP website, enter your laptop model, and download the latest drivers. Click Here

 

BIOS Update: Check if there's a BIOS update available for your laptop on the HP support website. Sometimes, BIOS updates include improvements related to fan control and thermal management. Click Here

 

Check for Background Processes: High CPU usage can cause overheating. Check Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) for any processes using a significant amount of CPU. Close unnecessary applications and background processes.

 

Power Plan Settings: Adjust your power plan settings. You can access these by right-clicking on the battery icon in the system tray and selecting "Power Options." Choose a balanced or power-saving plan.

 

Check for Malware: Malware or viruses can cause excessive CPU usage, leading to overheating. Run a full system scan using your antivirus software.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
