Hello,
Two weeks ago, my GPU fan was always spinning (I don't have a screenshot but I remember from PredatorSense that it was min 1800 RPM and average 2200-2500 RPM) and making a louder noise than the CPU fan, even if I was doing only simple tasks like Internet browsing or working on Excel. At first I thought it was spinning because there was too much dust in the GPU fan but after checking through the back of the laptop I saw no dust in the fan. Then it stopped making that noise, so I figured it was for the best. The thing is, the GPU fan
completely stopped spinning, even when I am playing a game. It only makes a "Bzz" noise every 5 secs, as if it starts to spin for half a second and then stops.
My CPU & GPU temps have always been rather high when playing (around 85-90°C, with a cooling pad), but yesterday while playing my CPU & GPU temps reached high temps (98° for the CPU, 95° for the GPU) and I begin to worry.
Here's a list of what I did and did not do : I uninstalled/reinstalled PredatorSense, did make my pc sleep by unchecking the "Quick start" option in alimentation settings, install the latest Nvidia drivers, and use vacuum cleaner to try to clean the fan from dust.
I did NOT undervolt my CPU, repaste, try to "reboot" the battery, or update my BIOS. I never opened the laptop's case, and the only time it's been opened was when a tech added 8G RAM + an SSD drive, 6 months ago. I did never drop my laptop and I take good care of it.
I'll attach a screen that I just took for you to see that the GPU fan doesn't spin even on manual in Predator Sense.
Here is the link to my audio recording of the GPU "Bzz" sound :

I'm afraid that if I play more, my PC components will just fry... If anyone got an idea, I would be grateful.
