Nitro ANV15-51 Fan suddenly spinning at 7000+RPM after Windows and BIOS update

Hello I have a Nitro ANV15-51 and i just wanted to ask why my pc keeps getting its fan turned on automatically. This issue has started from yesterday and it can be observed that my cpu fan is being turned on and is spinning at 7000+ rpm (as per nitrosense). There was no problem till yesterday and it has occured after a windows update on 15th as well as a Insyde Software update on the 17th. Pls help as the sound is pretty annoying and it feels like a jet engine being turned on. Also i would like to share that the laptop hardware has been cleaned today, so it is less likely that the issue is due to lack of cleaning

The fans are controlled by the EC chip so a bios update might have interfered with the EC chip programming causing these fans to spin at their max rpm, so a reprograming of the EC chip could be a solution. Also try and do a hard reset taking the main battery out and the bios battery and short its mainboard plugs +&- pins to reset CMOS and take the ram out, then leave the laptop idle for like about 30min and then reconnect everything, see if that resets the and fixes this issue. otherwise take your ANV15-51 to a tech and get them to fix your laptop.

Did you try to reset the BIOS? I'm on version 1.31 and fans are normal.

Welcome @Nottu1001,

Check that there are no drivers, processes or services that are making heavy use of system resources. Another possibility is that oldest firmware updates via Windows Update (WU) are causing a conflict with the current version installed on your Nitro V15:

Hi,

I am also facing an issue with my laptop. There is a sound coming from the left side whenever I turn on or shut down the laptop. I think it is the fan making a clicking sound.

Hey dude, so Its kinda funny how everyone is facing the same issue across the world with the same product, I have the same issue, tried all kinds of stuff (check my post) and contacted microsoft support who helped update to the latest windows and reinstall it, since acer support is very lousy and inefficient.

Still the problem hasn't been fixed. All I could say is, this was no coincidence and actually some major update problem and the company should take responsibility and compensate us, or atleast give a heads up by sending a mail to its users.

If you have already gotten yours fixed, please help me. If not, I'm with you finding a solution till its fixed
