Fix Overheating Issue in HP Laptop

Heat buildup results in serious problems for any laptop (notebook). Generally, when temperature inside the case of laptop increases above 35 degree celsius, the risk of damaging the internet components also increases. Generally the common cause of this issue is the accumulation of dust inside the device. Then internal components generate heat and the fan moves the air to cool the components to operate at normal temperatures.

Excess heat can be caused due to inadequate cooling inside the case which may result in damaging components. HP Support would like to inform you the sound of fan running constantly can indicate the overheating of laptop and then you take some steps for fixing it.

• Checking Air Flow and Heat Transfer: No air flow means no heat is transferring, so check the air vents first. The air vents can be located on the back panel and check both intake vent and outflow vents. Make sure that outflow vents are blowing hot air and intake vents are letting air in. If you don’t feel much airflow, then clean the accumulated dust by using a can of compressed air. Also, if possible, unscrew the panels where fan is located, lift it out and blow the dust out. Clean the dust from fan’s axle as well.

• Checking the dying batteries: There are several types of batteries and laptop’s battery can be reason behind overheating. Unanimous thing is that the batteries are not meant for storing at 100% or 0% batteries. If you have bought a laptop and always keep the charger in- never using the battery, then it can lead to decreasing the battery’s life span. Bad batteries won’t stop working all of sudden; they will slowly get less efficient and ultimately die which generate a lot of heat in the device. If you face this, then replace your battery. Model of computer and battery is required for replacing it. You can remove the overheated battery until you do not get it replaced.

• In some case, updating the BIOS also helps out in fixing the overheating issue or Use HP Cool Sense technology.

If the above information doesn’t help in fixing the issue, then there may be hardware failure, you can seek help from support team to fix the issue as soon as possible.
