Solve : my fan never stops?

Answer»

hey, i have a HP pavillion ze5375 laptop and my fan sounds like air force one is TAKING off in my bedroom whenever my computer is on. I've had this problem before and have had my hardrive melt and fans malfunction, which in turn i've sent my computer in to be fixed by HP about 4 times because of this. Obviously this solution isn't working. So if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem before my computer melts down again it would be greatly appreciated. thanksAre you using it on a hard FLAT surface free of cooling obstruction?What fan are you talking about. All fans or just one.i wasnt aware that a laptop had more than one fan. but its the one thats on the upper left side. and yes i have it raised about an inch above the desk. its of no use...within 15 minutes or so of turning on the computer the fan sounds like its in overdrive or something. the only thing hp tech support has done for me is replace it with obviously the same crappy one and have it do it again.I don't suppose it's still under warranty?It MAY be NORMAL.  Some laptops do not use mobile processors, they use desktop processors.well its extended best buy warranty runs up this summer. it doesnt really matter anyways tho. if i were to get a new computer they would just give me the same model, so it would be kind of pointless. can i get a new fan for a laptop?

Very dangerous and could void your warranty. I would use the warranty even if it MIGHT fix the situation. I don't understand your hesitation. Isn't that why you got the warranty?

As I suspected, it has a Desktop Processor, so fan needs to run all the time.
Microprocessor:  Intel® Pentium®4 2.4 GHz Processoryour hard drive would melt if the fan stopped and stopped cooling it... it may be annoying but its helping the computer out? maybe you should get one of those laptop cooling things...hey thanks guys for the info. im glad to know its normal. extremely annoying but if its keeping the *censored* thing from frying i'll deal with it.Next time get a laptop with a mobile processor instead of a desktop processor.
