Hey everyone,
I'm coming across a problem with my Lenovo Y40. This laptop has caused me many problems. the specs made it look very promising when I bought it about two years ago, but the build quality has proved it to be on the cheap side. That being said, I don't have the money to upgrade as I am a college student, but I need this working. As a CS major, I can't go long without my laptop working correctly. The problem being, the fans stay at 100% speed (or sound like they are) from boot. I have reinstalled Windows 10 and have done the whole run-around and nothing seems to fix the issue. Now, the hard drive on this laptop is HORRIBLE. It's the slowest thing I've ever used. I do plan to upgrade to an SSD very soon and I intend to replace the battery as it has a cell burnt out. However, I don't want to put more money into this machine until I figure out this annoying fan problem. You can imagine how terrible it is for other people to listen to my fans at 100% during a class lecture. I did download hardware monitor to check the CPU temps, they are extremely cool, so I know the system isn't running hot. I also attempted to control the fans with Speed Fan, but it was unable to detect the fans. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Use the link below to see screenshots of the hardware monitoring if you'd like. I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Kyndle
