laptop overheating after windows 10

poysanity said:

after I upgraded to windows 10. my Asux x550LB laptop is now experiencing noisy and the fan wont stop spinning, overheating in idle mode. I tried Reset and still experiencing the same problem. My last resort is that I would downgrade back to windows 8.1.

My question is:
If I clean install windows 8.1 to my pc. will my laptop still be activated in Windows 10 if i plan to install it in the future? (clean install of Windows 10 using bootable media).

Also anyone experiencing overheating and noisy fan after you upgraded to windows 10? any solutions before I try to clean install and downgrade to 8.1

Windows 10 seems to be the culprit. I've found that it tries to manage vcore causing excessive voltages -> over heating. I'd go back to 8.1 - so long as you do it while it's free you can always get the upgrade from MS' website.

For the record I have a custom watercooling loop with enough cooling capacity for six regular desktop computers. And I have measured the vcore spikes in 10. And I have turned it on and off again. It's not my rig, it's Windows 10.

What is your CPU model?

Hi, there are several possible things I had to deal with to reduce Win 10's CPU use.
Please post a screenshot of task manager:
Details, Click CPU to order list from high to low usage.

I'm assuming the issue is CPU use not disk activity primarily.

After cleaning my laptop the fan now stopped its noisy activities. thanks everyone! now planning on resetting my laptop, do i need to reinstall drivers if i reset?

The drivers should install automatically, but I would recommend checking for newer versions of them after they install.
