When temperatures inside the computer rise above 35º C (95º F), the risk of damage to important internal components from overheating increases. You can help prevent overheating by making sure there is adequate ventilation around the computer, the fan vents are cleaned regularly, the computer is in a cool environment, and the BIOS is up-to-date. For more information, go to HP Notebook PCs - Protecting and caring for your notebook. You might experience these issues when the computer overheats:
Clean the vents and inspect the fansDust and debris can accumulate in and around the air vents over time, obstructing the airflow and causing the fans to work harder than normal to remove the heat. Note: It is not necessary to open the computer to clean the vents.
Increasing efficiency to reduce heatThe computer works harder and generates more heat when multiple applications are open at the same time or while playing graphically intense video games. Use the following tips to improve computer efficiency.
If the issue persists, you might need to update the computer using Windows Update. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation for the computerTo decrease the likelihood of overheating problems, make sure that the fans on your computer are able to ventilate properly. Proper ventilation for the system is important for computer operation. Follow these guidelines to ensure adequate ventilation:
Use HP software to manage internal temperature in WindowsOn select HP computers, you can use HP software, such as HP CoolSense or HP Command Center, to help manage the temperature inside the computer and prevent overheating. Use HP CoolSense Technology to regulate internal temperatureWhen you enable HP CoolSense in Windows, a motion sensor inside the laptop automatically adjusts the computer performance and fan speed to keep the computer cool. For more information, go to HP Notebook PCs - HP CoolSense Technology. In Windows, search for HP CoolSense.
Reduce heat by changing the thermal profile in HP Command CenterOn select HP notebook computers, you can use HP Command Center to manage the temperature inside your computer, along with other thermal control options. For more information, go to HP ENVY, Spectre Notebook PCs - HP Command Center (Windows 10).
If your computer does not support either feature, or if the issue persists, you might need to change the system performance settings (select products only) or update the BIOS. Change the system performance settings to reduce heat and prevent overheating (Windows)If your laptop is an HP Spectre 13 or HP x360, you can adjust the PC system performance to decrease power consumption, which can reduce strain on the fans and help decrease the internal temperature.
If the issue persists, you might try updating the BIOS, testing for hardware failures, or contacting HP Customer Support. Update the PC with HP Support AssistantUse HP Support Assistant to find and install updates, including BIOS updates, for your computer with Windows.
Test for hardware failureOverheating can be caused by different types of hardware failures.
