Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Fan Runs Constantly

Thank you for your message.

Dell inspiron 15 5000 fan runs constantly.

And fan is constantly running and very very loud like it s an old laptop that hasn t had it s fan cleaned in 5 years. Can be many different things but it is the fan speed 0 infiniti pwm a0 f9 this is the fan speed if your running a laptop setting it to a high number and hitting r will tell you your max fan speed if its a high number like 100 000 the fan shouldn t run that fast the fan has limiter on its speed. I bought a brand new inspiron 15 5000 laptop for grad school recently purchased in late july. Solution to dell inspiron laptop fans being almost always on and very loud.

Brand new inspiron 15 5000 fan keeps cycling between full speed and idle. Richard s daughter has a dell inspiron 5000 and the fan never stops running. Spyware and other types of malware are a big cause of many pc problems. But he should also see if her use is extremely heavy causing it to run hotter than expected.

Etc can cause a pc fan to run constantly due to an overload on the processor cpu this in turn causes the fans to run constantly and fast. The fan runs constantly on this new 1 month old i5 7200u laptop. But chances are it s an overzealous fan and a firmware update. Some models like the g series notebooks are fitted with dual fans cpu fan gpu fan to cool the notebook faster.

When the computer is running at heavy load it produces more heat therefore it is normal for the fan to spin up and generate slightly more fan noise. It seems to me that a supposedly low power heat kaby lake cpu would not require a fan to run constantly. Leo says that is usually a bios issue and a bios update could solve that. Disable processes causing cpu fan to remain constant first launch task manager press windows key x task manager then click the processes tab.

I may have figured it out so watch and give it. Please run a hardware diagnostic by following the video on this link check if there is an error. Open apps may cause it. Restart the computer tap f2 to get into bios stay in bios screen for some time check if the fan is still spinning.

Following advice from dell support i have run dell diagnostics and sent results which appear all ok. In fact it should run rarely. Those issues usually get repaired over time. Running dell pre boot system assessment or enhanced pre boot system assessment dell psa or epsa restart your dell pc.

Dell does not have any solutions. Ordered my dell inspiron 15 5548 on 5 11 15 and received it 5 14 15.
