HP Pavilion CPU Fan running at max

[xxsilk109xx]

HP Pavilion a1606n fan issue:

Fan runs fine and at a normal speed, then after a few minutes its goes to full blast and stays that way, around 3900 RPM.

There is no way that it is getting that hot. I installed speedfan to monitor temps and it is showing the temp at a steady 32C. The heatsink doesnt even feel warm at all either. Speedfan cant adjust the fan speed for some reason.

I have put new thermal paste on it.
I also found that there is a Bios update for this computer that has some references to fan speeds but the HP FTP seems to be down because I cant seem to download from it.

above is the site I am trying to use to download this update.
Is it just me or does the download ftp server seem to be down?

Not a good sign. Excercise the CPU, if the temps dont go up you have a sensor problem OR your software is not reading it correctly.

Well it seems it was just Mozilla Firefox that was not allowing me to download as I was able to through IE.

Installed the BIOS update and still have the same issue, any suggestions?

This sounds familiar, but I think the BIOS is supposed to fix it. Have you done a google search for that issue with that model?

Do what Jimbo suggested.

Also, look for any options that may help in the BIOS; IF you can change any of the settings.
