Laptop Fan Running Constantly Loud

I got my laptop August of 2020 and over the past few months whenever I'm using it the fan will constantly be running super loud and sounds like a vacuum cleaner even if I check task manager and see the computer is using low resouces. Sometimes after a while of it being on the fan will shut off and not turn back on until a shut off my laptop and turn it back on. Other times it'll shut off for a while then randomly turn back on or start reving on and off repedidly. The performance of the laptop is not affected and if I feel it it does not feel hot like it is overheating.

    Hi Griffin009

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    Open the old Control Panel (click your Start Button, then just type Control and press Enter)

    At the top of the old control Panel, set View to icons.

    Open Power Options.

    What Power Plan is set, is that the Balanced Plan, if not, set that to Balanced

    And wait to see if the fans become quieter and intermittent

    2

    If not, close all open applications.

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift +Esc)

    Select the Processes tab

    Wait until the fans are making a lot of noise, is the CPU, GPU, Disk or RAM at a very high percentage?

    If one of those is at ahigh percentage, click that column header, so the arrow on that column header points down.

    Please provide a screenshot of that Task Manager window.

    From GlobalSign: How to Tell if You've Been Cryptojacked

    Excerpt:

    "Firstly, don’t rely on standard anti-virus tools or scanning software. One of the factors that makes cryptojacking so hard to detect is many of the scripts used in these attacks are in fact legitimate crypto-mining scripts - and so will not be detected as malware by signature-based security tools."

    HP support page will show how to run diagnostics on boot

    There should also be a desktop shortcut for HP update for both Bios & Drivers
