The fan on my 2 year old HP Dv7-6c10eo laptop has started to spin fast pretty much all the time that my computer is on, even when doing nothing, or when doing light work, like watching a movie in VLC, listening to music, or surfing forums. I've opened it up to clean it, but there was no dust that I could see, but I cleaned it anyway with pressurized air. I didn't open up the fan itself though, because I couldn't figure out how to open it. I cleaned of the old thermal paste on the APU/CPU and GPU, and applied new (about the size of a grain of rice of Braun thermal paste). None of these fixes worked.
What can I do next? Below is my system and the max temperatures of my system while having 4 tabs open in Crome and writing this message:
Windows 10 64-bit (came with W7, but the problem was the same before I got W10)
8GB RAM
AMD A8-3530MX APU with Radeon HD Graphics (77.5 °C)
AMD Radeon HD 6620G (77.0 °C)
AMD Radeon 6600M/6700M (52.5 °C)
1TB conventional harddrive (38.0 °C)
