HP ProBook 4540s getting overheat

[haroonaut]

My HP ProBook 4540s is getting very hot ( difficutl even to put my left hand on keyboard as it hot where my palm is) even if i am not doing any resource extensive task.

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

The fan could be dusty or your thermal paste in your motherboard could be old and need replacing, but I'm not an expert so I'm not 100% sure

Fan is not dusty and laptop is just 2 years old, so thermal paste should not be old to replace. I have updated this BIOS as well but still no luck.

How old is this laptop and when was the last time you blew out the heat sinks of dust? I saw one link saying May 25 of 2011 for its release, so it could be over a year old and if its never been cleaned this could be the problem. if you don't know how, please ask more questions.

Thank You,

Send to the repair center to check the hardware.

Thank you saravanang for your reply. My laptop is 2 years old. I never  blew out the heat sinks of dust. Can you please share the procedure for that.

same problem here, i can say my laptop is crystal clear regarding the dust, i clean it al least once a month. My ideea would be a bios unlock, so i could play with the fan speed, it gets hot because the fan is running slow when the cpu is at small voltage(mhz whatever) i also tried Hp Coolsense but it cannot be installed (probably not compatible, won t do anything special, i tried cpu fan speed and other softwares like that, but the fan cannot be controlled because of the bios).

Take off back cover , and clean heatsink/fan and replace thermal paste , laptop will be like a new.
