Hello 000ori000,

Welcome to FORUM !!

First thing to do is to Update the BIOS and see if that helps

Keeping notebook air vents clear and clean

Electrical components inside the computer generate heat while the computer is running. This heat can increase to the point where sensitive electronic components are damaged.

When heat builds up, the fan spins faster to remove the excess heat and thus makes more noise. Notebook computers have vents in the bottom and sides to remove heat, allowing air to flow through the case. If the vents become blocked, the fan cannot cool the components properly (and must spin even faster). If there is dust in the vents, use a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the area inside vents. When the computer is turned on, place it on a hard, level surface keeping the vent areas unobstructed. Using your notebook computer on a cloth surface, such as your lap, a bed, or couch cushion, can block the air flow and cause overheating.

For more information see Reducing Heat Inside the PC (not for Android or ChromeOS devices).

Increasing the efficiency of the notebook to reduce heat

If you have a lot of software open on your computer, your computer works harder and generates more heat. Reduce the amount of heat by increasing the efficiency of your computer.

• Prevent software from starting when the computer is started.
• Close software programs when you are done using them.
• Log off the Internet when you are not actively browsing the Internet.
• If your computer gets hot when playing games, try playing the game at a lower resolution and with decreased graphics settings.

If none of the above works, If your PC is under warranty, I strongly recommend you toContact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay to get your Notebook diagnosed and serviced by an authorized HP Certified Engineer as this could be a hardware issue .
