Question Acer Predator Helios 300 2019 Overheating after 10-15mins on idle

[Aditya77396]

Whenever i leave my laptop at idle the temps are normal at 40 C but after 10-15 mins of no use the temps start risings and reaches around 70-80C also fans go crazy at 4000rpm. I updated all the drivers to latest versions but couldnt fix. Also Laptop power option switches automatically from balanced to high performance.

I have tried researching a lot and i dont think its a thermal paste issue cuz cooling while gaming and normal working is good. Also i cleaned the fans recently.

Let me know how i can fix this.

Do a clean Windows 10 reinstall. Pain to do, but it will likely help.
