    Hello,

    [​IMG]


    Problem description:

    Hello, I sometimes while starting my laptop receives an error - 90B saying that your cooling fan is not working properly...

    In Power Saving Mode :
    My HP cool-sense is on Coolest mode and I measured temperature with CPUID Hardware Monitor Software, temperature stay above 68-70C even at normal browsing, HDD temperature stay around 50C... CPU temperature sometimes goes above 75-80C... Is there Anything to Worry About ?

    In High Performance Mode :
    I have 2 GB AMD 6770M, normal temperature remains between 70-78C...

    Troubleshooting steps taken:
    I have updated BIOS.

    I have purchased new cooling pad from cooler master which brings down the temperature by 3-4 degree...

    I have 1080p screen so does it make my processor bit on load for high display ?

    Is My Fan Defective ? or I need any kind of thermal compound to apply to reduce the temperature ?

    that's pretty high in my opinion.. better send it to service center to check the HSF and reapply thermal paste.. mine hover around 60c when browsing the web with AMD GPU. 2630QM tho..
