Why overheating even though laptop power setting is set to sleep?

Fortitude · 07 Jun 2020

I'm running Windows 10 Pro v.2004 OS Build 19041.264 on a laptop. The power settings are for the screen to turn off after 10 minutes and the laptop to go to sleep after three hours. The laptop is always plugged in.

Hard Disk Sentinel is set to give me alerts that the laptop disk has overheated that is, if it goes above the threshold of 50º C. I noticed that this happens not only when the laptop is in normal use, but also at times when the laptop is assumed to have gone to sleep.

Is there background activity even when the laptop is set to sleep and if so, how can I find out what's going on? One program that I have that could be causing some activity is Crashplan which is set to make backups (of changed files) every 30 minutes. However, barring the existence of ghosts in the house there should be no changed files in the middle of the night to be backed up when both I and my laptop are sleeping!

Laptops are notorious for heat.

Is it at 50 or higher 5% of the time? 70%?

Are your recent temps "normal" for this machine or is this a new development?

Do you have any reason to believe 50 is abnormal or anything to be concerned about?

Or are you just anxious about it?

50º C is the figure that is given by Hard Disk Sentinel and I didn't change it. Between 50º C and 56º C the level is "Yellow" and above 57º C the level is "Red". I'm not particularly concerned, but I'm mainly wondering why the laptop is running in the background while it's set to enter sleep mode.

How old is the laptop? Did you ever cleaned the CPU heat sink?
How good is your battery?
If battery has a problem, it doesn't hold charge, it is permanently charging and generates heat, even in sleep mode or turned off.

Download open hardware monitor
Extract and run (doesn't need to be installed) Under Options you can set to start with windows.
It will give you much more than drive temperatures.

Just chiming in -

I use dust-off every week on all my portables.
Gets the fans, vents, keyboard and ports.

It's a must.

The laptop is one year old and the battery doesn't appear to have a problem. I haven't opened it in order to clean any dust inside it, but I have it placed on a cooling stand where air is blown in the ventilation holes at the bottom.

I did, it's not showing temperatures (for the time being).

run it and double click on the icon near the clock.
It should open a window like I posted on post#4.
You can set to show some values on the gadget and on the taskbar.

Unfortunately I don't see values for temperature, that is it shows 4 CPU cores, but no temperature next to each one of them.
