Ati overheating windows 7

Make sure it's setting on a flat surface, with nothing clogging the vents. Ensure that any vents and fans and heat sinks are free of dust - consider blowing them off with compressed air power the system down first, of course. Are the any BIOS settings for the temperature settings, set lower than the manufacturer recommendations or defaults you would need to check your notebook manual for this.

Also ensure you're running the latest BIOS version again, your notebook manual would have the details; the manufacturer's website should also have this information. Wednesday, November 4, AM.

Carey Frisch. Wednesday, November 4, PM. I could not figure out how to use xperf that No. Compromise suggested, so I finally gave up, formatted the hard drive and installed a clean Windows 7 OS. Everything works beautifully now. My dv does not overheat at all now. Tuesday, March 16, AM. Saturday, November 7, AM. What is the error message you encounter? Sunday, November 8, PM. For me i have noticed that since installing windows 7 my fan will run constantly.

I never had this problem with vista. Some thing i am truly interested in fixing besides Tuesday, November 17, AM. So i updated my bios as suggested above. It changed from the f30 to f This time it booted up and was instantly useable. Major improvement.

As for the fan.. I have the same issue, I had windows xp and as soon as I installed Windows 7, I started having overheating issues, I tried reinstalling XP and it works fine but its just Windows 7 that is causing issues and even after installing all the drivers, it is still overheating like crazy, please suggest a solution Wednesday, November 25, AM. I have the same problem with my Hp Pavilion dv laptop. Windows xp media center worked fine, windows 7 RC worked fine, now with windows 7 retail it shuts off when I watch netflix or any video for too long.

I never had a problem before windows 7 retail. I think the amd turion runs really hot, and windows 7 uses more of the processor so it overheats more and the windows 7 auto-shutdown feature shuts it down when it reaches 96 degrees Celsius. Thursday, November 26, PM. Just wanted to add my experience as being very similar to many above.

I have an HP dv3 and now after upgrading the fan is almost constantly running on high - the fan has always been somewhat annoyingly high on this laptop but now it is constant. I should also point out that I hear little tics when playing music on windows media player that remind me of what would happen before using a dual core. I haven't tried the bios update yet. Friday, November 27, PM. Try the BIOS update, as it has apparently helped someone with a similar issue.

Also consider the aforementioned suggestions. I have an HP Pavilion dv Is it ok if I download the drivers from another model, specifically the recently released HP Windows 7 Drivers for Pavilion txus as recommended by Carey? Or will that get me in even more trouble?

If it consumes significant CPU, you can use xperf to try to get more information. Run the web installer and choose to install Win32 Development Tools. Upload the ZIP file somewhere, and share the location either publicly or privately. Share the password privately. My email address is in my profile. Friday, December 11, AM.

Thanks, I'll work on this now. It will probably be at least 24 hours before I can create the file and share it. Friday, December 11, PM. I have noticed that a lot of heat is generated by my wireless intel pro bg network connection and I have been keeping it disabled. Saturday, December 12, PM. Sunday, December 13, PM. You need to run the command in an elevated CMD prompt. I have the same issue with my notebook. View solution in original post.

Never had a single problem with overheating on idle, that's why I think this is weird. This has to be a troll post Flip the power on, touched the CPU, burnt my finger enough to nearly blister, and flipped the power off There is no way to run a CPU for years without a cooler. I did. Well its dead now but it made it this far. It was not direct cooled. My case had 2 front fans, 2 top fans and 2 back fans and 1 fan on each side.
