'Battery Alert' appears before the 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.', however, ' Cooling Fan Alert' appears after 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.'

Hi,

First of all: I know that I have been having a problem with my HP Laptop Battery, and with its cooling Fan.

However, I am now wondering what detected this error below as long as it was shown even before  the notification saying 'the press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' Thus, if the BIOS detected that there was a problem with the HP Battery storage', then this error should have been listed after 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' was passed.

'HP Battery Alert:    The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low. For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.'

That alert lasted about 15 seconds, and then the 'press 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.' is shown.

Next: This is error below showed me::

'The system didn't detect that a cooling fan is operating correctly'

I know that BIOS detected that a problem with 'Cooling Fan' since the Alert of error was shown after passing 'press 'ESC' key for Start-up menu.'

Any comments would be highly appreciated

    1-  when you said 'Most likely the laptop manufacture for safety reasons. You need to stop the use of Videos until you repair your laptop. Constant and repeated overheating could sooner or later destroy your CPU / Processor.". I've been asking you who set my notebook to be hibernated when  overheating? 

    I cannot disable, and enable that action if I want to do.

    I have gone to the processor power management, but there is no option can be set to disable/enable hibernation my notebook when overheating.

    A) Check the BIOS for thermal temperature monitoring settings.

    B) Check your taskbar (right hand corner) for a quick launch icon that monitors CPU temperature.

    C) Use Task Manager to check for any programs that run in the background that monitor CPU temperature.

    2- if taping on my power button didn't help to unfreeze my notebook, then I only have one choice which is to hold down the power button on the keyboard?????????

    I wish that all notebooks have a 'reset/restart' button along with 'power off/on' button on the keyboard which could be useful when my notebook gets frozen. 

    Try pressing it down for one full second max.

    Only can suggest you try applying a small amount of thermal paste to a piece of copper you may have or can get from a scrap yard (let it heat up in the sun for a couple of days) and try using any liquid you think of that may when using the white cloth "Totally" remove the thermal compound.

    All what I need to remove old thermal compound on the surface on my CPU/GPU and the contact points on the heatsink, and then apply new thermal compound on the CPU, and GPU, and the contact points on the heatsink. So, why have you been still telling me to apply more the piece of copper........... What benefit from this process?

    Since you can not obtain what I call the proper liquid to remove the thermal past it would be a simulation of how well what you do have available can remove the paste.

    3- what kind of material you use to clean the screens of notebooks. I was using 'Cleaning wipes HL 704, but it was not good since the pieces looks dry.(they are not wet as though there is no liquid materials in them)

    Thanks a lot,

    (A) I checked the BIOS for thermal temperature monitoring settings, but I didn't find any. My BIOS as said before didn't have many options to be setup.

    (C) I checked the for any programs that run in the Task Manager, but I didn't find any.

    (B)I checked my taskbar, but there is no quick launch icon monitoring CPU.  Only this utility which is ON, but it cannot be setup to hibernate or inhbiratnet my notebook when overheating.(i.e. this utlity doesn't monitors CPU temperature. . It can be 'OFF and ON' to monitor the position of notebook)

    So, I still   cannot disable, and enable that action of hibaration my Windows when my notebook is overheating if I want to do.

    I don't think my Windows is hibernated when my Notebook  was overheating without setting up that  prior to overheating. However, the strange is there is no option can be set to disable/enable hibernation my notebook when overheating.

    Try pressing it down for one full second max.

    Yo you don't think this pressing down for one full second max will result in shutting down my Notebook completely instead of unfreezing it. I wish that notebook had both the 'rest/restart', and power off/on buttons on the keyboard which would be useful in such cases if I don't want to shut down my computer, I would be pressing on the 'restart' button instead.

    Then something in your hardware or internal to the CPU is causing this for safety reasons as your CPU is overheating.

    I don't know, again a BIOS setting OR Control panel power options setting may determine what happens when you press the power button.

    I want to control over what action can be done when my notebook is overheating. It was hibernated without a permission/settings from me. I didn't know who what set it up to be hibernated when notebook is overheating.

    Yes,  

    1- I set it to 'sleep', but when I click a quick click on the power button.  But that don't mean that when I press on power button a quick click while my notebook is frozen , then it will unfreeze it.  So, if my notebook wasn't unfrozen when I press on the power button a quick click, what else can be done????? You think my notebook must be sleeping as long as it is setup even when it is frozen(no response at all)
