Laptop Cooling, Fan speed.?
Okay, I have a dv5-1251nr.
When I boot up the computer into windows it hovers around 60C. When I turn off Performance and switch to Balanced it goes down 42C.
Problem is the fan stays at one speed no matter the temperature. The cooling is set to active but that seems to have no affect.
Speed-fan doesn't show throttle controls due to it being a laptop. And the HP bios sucks majorly.
Hopefully someone knows what I can do. Replacing would mean the entire Heatsink if I'm not mistaken as the fan seems to be built in.
*sigh*
2 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoComputer shuts off during startup?
Okay, I have taken this thing apart a few times.
dv5-1251nr
I have put thermal grease and due to the heatsink not making contact with the CPU very well at all, i have put a thin layer of tinfoil.
Problem is, after it cools or I do something, not sure what I'm doing. It will run for eternity. And the temperatures are reasonable. But once I restart the machine it restarts before it even gets to the Grub loader. :/
Nothing beeps, just powers off.
Hopefully someone knows how to fix.
Will keep trying and post answer if I figure it.
