windows-8.1

Having a bit of a nightmare after upgrading to 8.1 - the fan is constantly on maximum.

This question and other sources around the net suggest upgrading the AMD driver.

I have upgraded both the graphics drivers as far as I can:

AMD Radeon HD 7600M - v13.150.102.0 Intel HD Graphics 4000 - v10.18.10.3316

and I am still having the issue.

I'm at a lost as to what to do now! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update

Upgrading the AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series driver to 13.152.1.1000 seems to have fixed the issue on startup - however, putting the laptop to sleep and resuming causes the fan to go full speed at all times again.

Speed Fan - low fan speed can burn cpu ?

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
As i can see, with this software you can set the fan speed. So, if you set it to low, theCPU temperature will grow really high and it can burn in likely 1 hour - is this possible or not and why ? Thanks. >>> More
