problem regarding fan speed of laptop(not received satisfactory answer)

Hello Sir,

I purcahsed a laptop compaq presario CQ45-207TU in January 2009. As per the recommendations of HP I updated BIOS. Soon after that i encountered problem with regard to the high spped of fan and heating up of my touchpad and base of laptop where the hard drive is. The problem was shared with my friend who somewhat managed to slowup the speed of the fan with the updated BIOS but the heating problem remained. The BIOS updated was F.24 but recently i downgraded it to F.14. As a result of that the fan speed slowed down but not that normal as factory set. The heating of touchpad has also reduced but sometimes the RAM usage remains between 60-70% for a long period. My question are:
Is there any effect of downgarding of BIOS as i did; because exactly I dont know when my set was manufactuerd and what version of BIOS was in there in laptop.
What should be the exact BIOS for my set?
Is the heating of touch pad and fast speed of fan is a matter of worry?
Can it damage my laptop?

My laptop serial No. is SN:(S)CND8392JDD(estimated to be manufactured between september to november 2008)but not sure.

Rgs.

Hi, first of all why don't you try installing the BIOS that came originally with your notebook. Also i have to ask you some questions:-
1) Does the battery charge (when you plug an AC Charger)?
2) Does CPU strike 100% when you use AC Charger?
Let me know about the above 2 questions. I might get you a solution.

Hello Sir,

First of all thanks for replying to my mail. You just asked some questions to get my problem solved which are as under:
1) Does the battery charge (when you plug an AC Charger)?
2) Does CPU strike 100% when you use AC Charger?
Let me know about the above 2 questions. I might get you a solution.

My reply to your questions is that; yes the battery charges when plug an AC charger and yes the CPU strikes 100% but sometimes without using AC Charger and sometimes without it. The RAM usage of laptop when goes 100% the fan speed goes more fast and generates too much heat but it lasts for 15 to 20 minutes and after that the RAM,Speed and heating comes down to normal. I dont know why it is behaving abnormally. However as regard to the question of the BIOS came with this set, I am not sure about it. I am sending you the sysytem specification of my Laptop. Hope it will help you in solving my problem
