Windows 10: My laptop fan doesn't achieve full speed as it needs to be and shuts down from heat? while...

Hello, I have a Samsung laptop which is around 7 yrs old. I have a dual boot legacy of Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. While I am using memtest64 It is located before the boot, laptop fan can get its full speed without any problem. But as soon as I boot into Windows 10 or Ubuntu, my fan slows down and gets hardly to speed up. While I am playing games like ETS2 etc. on moderate-low settings, GPU and CPU get very hot and it usually shuts down my computer immediately thankfully I use SSD.

I didn't find any PWM settings for my laptop fan, because it is a 3-pin fan. I tried to make Windows power settings to the full performance, used different kinds of manufacturers' software Intel, MSI, etc., but they are not useful by any means. I tried almost everything as a basic user could do.

In the end, while I was checking the device manager, I found my fan on there with an ACPI number/address or something like that. But I don't have any access or control over it. How could I control my fans to the full speed? I don't really mind the sound, I just want my machine to work properly.


Specs:

OS: Windows 10 Home edition 64-bit + Ubuntu 16.04

Laptop Model: Samsung NP550-P5C-S04TR

GPU: GeForce GT 650M 2 GB 425.31

CPU: i7-3630QM

Memory: 8GB

laptop shuts down

Sounds like it could be a short in the port or cable.

High speed fan is standard behaviour at startup, but should slow down in a few seconds. If it does not, it could mean overheated internals. Is your laptop being used on a soft surface? It should not. Cooling air is drawn from the bottom of the laptop.
If it is placed on fabric for example, those vents are blocked, which causes over-heating. An over-heated system will shut down to protect itself.

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

Utility for laptop fan control?

Note that, depending on your laptop, any direct control of the fan may not be possible. I suggested the one above as it seems aimed at laptops in particular- but I've not tried it.

E.g. Speedfan lists no fan on my Thinkpad.

Ok, I've now tried NoteBook FanControl for you.
It has preset configurations for different machines: e.g.




which for my t440s gives




- whereas Speedfan didn't seem to achieve anything, I'm afraid. Presumably you looked at the config editor...
