I’ve had my Aviator AX9 for about 2 weeks and yesterday when I was using it, it got extremely hot…and usually it doesn’t even get mildly warm. So I turned it off, let it cool down and turned it back on. And It did the same thing…so I flipped it over, took off the panel over the 2 videos cards and processor to see that none of the fans are spinning…neither was the fan next to the hard drive. Yet they all turn on right when I turn the laptop on.. they just spin for a few seconds.
Wow, I’ve never seen laptop like this before. 2 video modules, first SLI notebook! I’m not sure if I would be able to help a lot with this model.
Here is what I think. For most laptops I worked with, it’s normal that fans start spinning on startup and then they turn off after 5-7 seconds. Usually they start again when the CPU is running hot. You mentioned a fan next to the hard drive. Do you know if it’s a dedicated hard drive fan or it’s just located in the hard drive area? I think that you might have a problem with the hard drive. Sometimes when a hard drive fails, it runs very hot. It’s just a guess. I’m pretty sure that you have a warranty on this notebook, so contact them and ask to fix the problem.
