HP Envy fan going crazy all of a sudden?
I've had my HP Envy for 2 1/2 years now and I'm very happy with it. The only minor issue I've had since day 1 is that sometimes when I shut down the computer the screen would go black and it would simply refuse to shut down, while the cooling fan went absolutely insane all of a sudden, running at full power for no reason. Whenever that happened (just once every other month or so) I just forced shutdown with the power button and didn't more of it.
Since yesterday I've been having new issues with the cooling fan. It has become extremely loud and seems to be running on a quite high speed no matter what I do, basically from the moment I turn it on. It's not quite the crazy speeds it reached when I had the above issue, but still too fast and loud for the tasks I'm running. I've noticed that the issue seems to go away (or at least become better) if I unplug the laptop and let it run on battery power.
Has anyone had similar issues with their HP Envy? Since it started so suddenly I almost assume it's some kind of software/update issue but I've since updated Windows and BIOS and the issue hasn't improved at all.
