  1. A very loud laptop (fan) got quiet after windows reinstallation? Is ths possible?


    I have a 9 year old laptop. It's still a great machine, the only problem I had was the noise, at some point it got quite loud (and hot), as probably normal with old laptops, people used to have a hard time staying in the same room with it. Now I reinstall my windows at least once a year. Whenever it gets buggy or a bit slowish I just do a quick clean install.

    Although all the reinstallations in the past did nothing to help with the heat and the noise (not that I expected it to), the last time I did it completely got rid of the problem. My laptop is silent as new. I can still hear the fan running silently so it's not broken. The heat is down as well, it's warm, not even hot. I don't notice any change in its performance (if anything, it's better after the clean installation).

    So the question is - what happened? I thought I would have to take my laptop apart and apply some new cooling paste or something. Did Microsoft optimized something within the past year that helps with the overheating?? I'm happy, but quite confused. Any idea what happened?

    I have asus k55vj with an added ssd and some extra ram.

    Earphone volume too loud or too quiet on Windows 10

    Hi I'm having a weird problem on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro. The earphone volume is either too loud or too quiet, and seems to switch between these two upon every restart. When it's too loud, keeping it at 1/100 is equivalent to 20-30/100 when sound was normal, when it's too quiet, keeping it at 100/100 is equivalent to 10-20/100 when sound was normal. Already googled extensively and tried pretty much every suggestion I found with no results:


    • Enable/disable loudness equalization in playback device settings
    • Enable/disable Windows Sonic for headphones in playback device settings
    • Check for errors in sound devices in device manager - no errors
    • Update sound drivers - all updated
    • Try different earphones - tried like 4 already, definitely not an issue with earphones
    • Even tried system restore, still not fixed

    Does anyone know what else to try?

    Windows 10 fan running loud and non-stop

    Since installing Windows 10 on my laptop the fan runs loud and non-stop.

    I have fount that if I unplug the power cable and run from battery the fan slows down and is quiet again.

    How can I have the fan run like this when the power is plugged in?

    Thanks.

    Earphone volume too loud or too quiet on Windows 10

    Hi I'm having a weird problem on my MacBook Pro running Windows 10 Pro through Bootcamp. The earphone volume is either too loud or too quiet, and seems to switch between these two upon every restart.
