Hi @E-A ,

Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!

I understand that the fan is noisy and you have already cleaned the vents and the fan.  You also followed some suggestions you found  on  YouTube.

Here is a link to Fan is Noisy and Spins Constantly, PC is Warmer than Normal

You can also check the software and drive page for your notebook to see if there is a bios update for it.  Here is a link to the HP Drivers & Downloads.. You will need to input the  exact model of G7 you have and follow the prompts.

How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

Bios updates do have the potential to cause damage, so I suggest contacting HP support for assistance, if one is required. 

Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region Technical Support Sitemap .

Here is a link to Updating the BIOS.

I hope this has helped.

Dear Sparkles1 ,

Honestly I don't understand what is going on with my HP Pavilion 7g. Although is not overheating, from the moment I start it I hear a noise . I touched under the pc and there is no heat . sometimes there is a small amount of heat on the site vents and I think that the fan is not spin ... Any ideas what I have to do for that ? Sorry to bother you again ...

Thank you

Hi   E_A,

Thank you for your reply.

If you are unable to hear the fan or feel it spinning, then it has most likely failed and will need to be replaced.

Here is a link to Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) to assist you. 

If you would like further assistance please provide your exact model of HP pavilion G7 you have and the Operating System you are running.

Hi E-A,

Thank you for your response.

I regret that you have not determined the cause of the noise. 

I will be happy to assist you with testing the hard drive. 

Here is a link to  Testing a Hard Disk from the BIOS for you to follow.

Please let me know the outcome.

Dear Sparkles Hello  again,

I follow your advice and I test my Hard Disk from BIOS and the test past OK   , thanks god ...  but I have another question for you , because I don't know much of this things  ...  System restore and system recovery is the same thing??  Because after the test I had to performing a system recovery but on my pc  I have system restore and I don't want to make any mistake ...

Thank you again for your help

Hi E-A

No a system restore and a system recovery are not the same.

Microsoft's System Restore is sometimes confused with HP's Recovery Manager software.

• System Restore enables you to configure the computer's system files to a configuration that existed at a particular point in time. No personal data files, such as email, documents, or pictures, are lost.

• HP Recovery Manager enables you to restore the computer's entire software configuration to its original factory condition. It reinstalls the original operating system (Windows, Linux or FreeDOS) and removes all other software and personal data files.( taken from HP document)

Here are two links that will clarify the difference and help you to decide which one you would like to perform and guide through the process.

Good Luck!

Dear Sparkle ,

Today when I start my laptop  the screen was black with a message :

 * The system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly.

Continued operation is not recommended*

But the strange think is that my fan is cool -  no overheating and all vents cleaning ...  I don't know what to think anymore

Thank you
