loud noise and that fan blades spin correctly.
d. Test with a verified working fan.
e. Replace the fan.

only to authorized service providers and technicians, to run a stress test
(processor and GPU) and verify that thermal sensors are within limits after thermal
condition is serviced.
User configuration
Change Power Options in Windows (for example, choosing Balanced mode instead of
High performance). High performance and extensive graphics might cause the fan run
constantly to release the heat.
BIOS currently omits fan presence detection to shorten boot time delay less than four

system that found system fan error.
Fan often is part of thermal solution, including heat sink, heat sink fin/muffler, and
thermal grease. Fan replacement requires reboot and fan function verification using HP
PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool.
