Try quickly tapping the power key 1 time (don't hold it down, just tap it with your finger) to see if that unfreezes your laptop.
'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

Thanks a lot,
You don't want to suggest anything about how to get my heatsink/fan shipped by an online seller. I don't find anyone willing to ship to Yemen.
2- You meant that I cannot disable, and enable that if I want to do.
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.
3-"I.e. This is just a simulation:(test how well you are able to remove the old thermal in use on my heatsink, and CPU surfers), You need me to apply a small amount of the new thermal compound on a piece of copper, let it heat up in the sun for a couple of days. --- So, it will be like the thermal paste that has been in use on "heat sink and CPU". Then, I use any liquid I think of that may when using the white cloth "Totally" remove the thermal compound."
If so, then I would be saying the piece of copper will be not like removing CPU, and GPU surface since there are some places under the CPU, and GPU on where there is some old thermal compound is dried
Use the keyboard and press hold the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys down. You should then see a Windows with the power shutdown (Typically red in color) located in the lower right corner of the display.
I have tried that, but that make no difference at all. There is no response, and the notebook gets still frozen. This is only works in some time, however, in other times when my notebook gets frozen for some reason, this doesn't help at all. I think this freezing is called 'deadly-frozen process'

2015-11-17T18:44:14+00:00 Firstly **::**Could you please explain this again:(I don't know why you want me to use ' try applying a small amount of thermal paste to a piece of copper I may have or can get from a scrap yard. What can I benefit from this process? I need to apply thermal compound on my heatsink and the surface of CPU and GPU.
Freshly applied thermal paste is easy to remove from heat sink and CPU, thermal paste that has been in use is "cured / dried" and is much harder to remove. Baking it in the sun on a small piece of copper will simulate / dry the paste on the copper so you can test how well you are able to remove it.
**Secondly::**While I was watching only a single video on some website, I don't know what file format type was since I only watching it online. So, the core temp reached to an load of 100%. And heat was about like this one below:
Then, my notebook was hibernated automatically. My question is who setup that my notebook should be hibernated when it is overheating? ---While typing a message, the heat I feel in the upper case of my notebook lets me raise my hand on that case
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.
Finally: Sometimes my notebook gets frozen, and there is no response at even when I the mouse cursor doesn't move. So, I had to press on 'shut down' button. Since there is no 'reset'/restart button on all almost all notebooks, do you know any other way with which I can avoid shutting off my notebook by pressing the 'shout down' button when my notebook gets frozen?

I've really been struggling to find a way to let online seller to ship a fan/heatsink assembly for me, but I do't find anyway until now.

2015-11-11T16:21:13+00:00 1- then I only need to buy a new heatsink/fan assembly, the Isopropyl alcohol, and new thermal compound and use a white colored clean cloth?
Yes
2- you don' suggest that I can use medical spirit(ethanol) instead of Isopropyl alcohol?(it is available in my country, it is a white-colored material. It is a domestic product. But I don't know how the percentage of alcohol it contains since there is no mention in its ingredients.
You can see how well it cleans in step #3.
3- Instead of coffee filter or a white colored clean cloth, I think you need me to use a piece of copper I may have or can get from a scrap yard? If so, why would you need me to let a piece of copper heat up in the sun for a couple of days?
So that the sun causes the thermal paste to cure (semi dry) and fully stick to the copper before you try removing it with the white cloth and ethanol.
4- Please note, the rubber pads on the images of those heatsinks sold for, $26, $30, and so on, are not clear, so I think they don't have rubber pads. However, the rubber pad on the image of the one sold for $18 looks clearly. However, if I buy the one including the rubber pad, then it might be not better than others since its price is the cheapest.
