According to SpeedFan the CPU is running at 70 C and the hard disk at 56 C and the fans are running at 0 rpm (!). But I can see the fans are definitely working.
Any suggestions on how to sort this out would be much appreciated - it'll be an expensive repair job otherwise! |
If you're deffinately sure that the fans are working it maybe a bios problem. Try updating to the latest bios for your laptop. I see you have a HP, they have excellent customer support. The reason i say it maybe (and not probably) a bios problem is that your cpu seems rather hot, even for a laptop, which are designed to operate at high temperatures. Before this problem started do you have any stats on cpu temperature or fan speed etc...
Also another posibility is that the SpeedFan software isnt able to monitor the fan speeds for your particular laptop and the problem could actually be that the cpu is overheating (and not some bios fault). Perhaps try cleaning the fan out with an air duster, perhaps dust is clogging up the fan! Hope this helps. Good Luck!
