Solve : Fans Acting Hectic?

Answer»

Sorry for any formatting issues or the like. I've never posted on a forum before so here goes. I'm also not much of a computer guy.

I have an HP Pavilion Laptop running Windows 10 and since I updated my computer, my fans have been going crazy. When you first boot up the computer, everything seems fine. About 2 minutes into using it though, the fans will start to ramp up and make a bunch of NOISE, gradually getting louder and louder until they get into this stop/go mode. They'll ramp up super loud and then a split second later stop again, split second after that, they ramp up again and it repeats. This will go on for a few minutes until the fans completely stop moving at all. This period will last for about 5 seconds and then the cycle repeats with the fans gradually ramping up.

I downloaded SpeedFan to see if I could do anything about it but as I have no clue what I am doing I was just able to take a look at the fan speed CHARTS. I was able to record about one "cycle" of this and have attached a screenshot.

What can I do to fix this and what are the possible implications of this BEHAVIOR in my laptop? After MAKING this post, I'm going to refrain from using my laptop for a while until either one of you amazing geniuses can help me out, or I can take it to a repair guy but as I'm broke, that probably won't happen.What exactly did you update and how did you do it?
