Hi,

Recently I have upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1. The updation process was smooth, but after updation the cooling fan making a lot of noise starting from the beginning. I am using a HP pavilion series notebook with AMD A8 processor. It looks like the upgradation is causing unnecessary stress on the system and generating a lot of heat. Previously there was absolutely no heating issue. Microsoft should seriously pay an attention to this. I am confused because I have not been able to decide wheather I should reinstall the windows 8 or not.

Regards

S Banerjee

I have heard about this from more models/vendors.

Have a a look at this post:

Make sure you have the latest BIOS firmware and drivers from AMD, you might even consider to try beta drivers if there are any.

Hi,

Meanwhile, I suggest we use a xperf trace to capture the CPU usage.

Please install the WPT :

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4847.install-the-windows-performance-toolkit-wpt.aspx ,

Open a cmd prompt with admin rights and run this command for 30s:

xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d cpuusage.etl

Press any key to stop logging. Then upload the file after zipped to the skydrive or similar network drive, and post a shared link here for further research.

Keep post.

Regards,
Kelvin hsu
