So I just lived with having to press F1, and eventually that became 100% of every boot. Press F1 and watch, and the fan would come on and stay on during boot. During the first part of POST, the fan would "twitch" a bit, but not spin up, and the F1 message would come. Did so and it did.įor awhile, it would boot sometimes OK, and other times require the F1.Īfter a few months, I took off the side panel to watch the fan.
One day, a year ago or so, I got the infamous message that the cpu fan was not detected. WARNING:ĭo not touch any of the components inside the computer, even when the computer is off to avoid shocking yourself or damaging the computer.My cpu fan problem was a little different. Slide the side panel back and away from the computer, and then set the panel aside. Your computer side panel might be secured differently, but the location of the screws should be similar. Loosen or remove the side panel screws, if necessary. Turn off the computer, and then unplug the power cable. Be careful not to slide skin along any interior metal edge of the computer. Remove the side panel and wait a few minutes to determine if the computer is too warm, which can cause the fans to work harder in order to decrease the internal temperature. If the issue persists, continue to the next step. Lower the game resolution and decrease the graphics settings if the computer becomes warmer than usual while playing. Use the following tips to improve computer efficiency.Ĭhange which applications run when Windows starts by using the Startup tab in Task Manager.Ĭlose applications when you are done using them.Ĭlose the Internet browser when you are not using it. The computer works harder and generates more heat when multiple applications are open at the same time or while playing graphically intense video games. That out of the way, here's what you can do, to reduce the load on the existing fan and we can make good use of what we already have 😉 HP Instant I went through the details, and I must let you know that HP does not recommend upgrades or hardware changes as the device is equipped with parts that perform at its optimal performance by design, although, the decision to upgrade will be at your own discretion.Business PCs, Workstations and Point of Sale Systems.Printer Wireless, Networking & Internet.DesignJet, Large Format Printers & Digital Press.Printing Errors or Lights & Stuck Print Jobs.Notebook Hardware and Upgrade Questions.
