Hi.. I am Vanshita, an Independent Windows Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

I suggest you to go through the below steps and check if it helps

A sure sign that your computer is overheating is when your fan is always running at maximum speed. You may also experience reduced performance because an overheating CPU cuts back its clock speed to escape heat pressure. Moreover, the fail-safe software may trigger a sudden shut down to prevent hardware damage.

If you want to measure the actual heat values inside your laptop, you can use a tool like HWMonitor. This might also reveal which part of your laptop is getting too hot. Typically, you’ll find that the CPU or GPU are overheating the most.

1. Fix Internal Cooling

The first and most important thing you need to do when your laptop is overheating is to clean the fan(s) that provide(s) cooling to the CPU and graphics card. Over time, they build up layers of dust and dirt that slow them down and block airflow. Consult your laptop’s manual or manufacturer to find out how you can open the laptop to access and clean these parts.

Before you attempt to do any cleaning, however, follow these steps:

Shut down the computer

Remove the battery

Unplug the power strip

Ground yourself

Carefully clean the fan(s) with a cotton swab dipped in a drop of alcohol. Make sure the alcohol has completely evaporated before you reconnect the laptop to the power.

You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust and dirt that clocks up the fan(s). To prevent damage to the fan, do not let it revolve in the wrong direction. If you want to use canned air to clean the fan, stop the fan from spinning by holding it down.

Next, you can clean the exhaust port by sucking out air with a vacuum cleaner. The exhaust port usually sits on the side of the laptop. It’s the opening that blows out hot air.

The unit is a desktop PC.  The temperatures are running in the mid 50s C at idle.  I have 6 fans in the unit which are all working correctly and not dirty.  This is a home brew system with an ASRock Fatal1ty K6 Professional motherboard, an Intel i7-8700k CPU, G. Skill TridentZ Series 16GB DDR4 3200, a Corsair Hydro Series H110i GT 280 mm, 2 WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 1 TB in RAID 1, Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH166 3 TB, WDC WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 1TB, and EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Video Card.  The Corsair H2O system is functioning normally.  The fans stop racing if I disable the Power service.  This would indicate it is definitely a software issue since disabling the Power Service stops the fans from racing and Task Manager shows that CPU usage returns from 100% to a couple of percent.  When I have the power service (Balanced) running, I have checked all the Power service parameters and all entries are OK for normal operation.  I used Core Temp 1.13 to measure Core Temps.  I also have HWMonitor and AIDA64 Extreme and other utilities available to provide statistics on CPU operation.  Nothing in the Event Logs shows any problems while the Power service is running.  I have to question if Microsoft has changed something in the Power service either accidentally or on purpose that is making the CPU race.

Any other suggestions to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

Vijay_Verma,

I had seen this post already.  The concepts discussed don't apply to my situation.  Task Manager shows my CPU at 100% utilization, but other software shows that all cores are at idle or very low usage.  Process Explorer also shows only a couple of percent usage for the CPU.  I can provide screen captures if it would be helpful.  It is strange that Task Manager shows 100% utilization and Process Explorer shows maybe 2 or 3% utilization.  Disabling the Power service brings Task Manager back to normal and the fans stop racing.
