Loud fan runs frequently, battery dies in 2 hours

[mbconner]

My fan runs frequently, even when I am only running outlook and a web browser. The vent above the keyboard gets very hot. Recently, my battery fully discharges in 2 hours while I am using it. Anyone have a good solution? I can't send it in, because I am in school and can't be without a computer for more than a day or two.

@mbconner,

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! As I understand you are having issues with loud fan noise on your HP notebook. Don't worry I'll be really glad to help you with this.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Does the computer freeze or shut down after heating up?

Does the fan make a loud noise, apart from what you hear from the processor?

Did this start after a software or windows update?

What is the exact error message do you get on the screen?

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the battery drivers?

Next thing, regarding the battery issue, please follow these steps here:

Steps to uninstall the ACPI drivers

Also, download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.
