I realized my testing method of just checking the heatsink temperature was probably flawed so I installed HW monitor and saw temperatures in the high 60s for the cpu and gpu. This is clearly not overheating. Sometimes it has issues like the pictures above, other times, everything works as expected, thus the reason I was able to get the program installed and running. Below you can see a picture of the output. IMG_2382[1].HEIC

If you aren't doing any gaming, video editing, or 3d design, defiantly get something without a dedicated GPU. You will save a lot of money that way.

That was what I was afraid of. It does not have any dedicated graphics. Can this happen with integrated graphics? Do you have any suggestions on how I can slow it down further? If at all possible, I would like to keep it fan less. It never hit over 40c on the heatsink.

Linux mint booted properly and I used that to install ChomeOS onto the hard drive. I then removed the flash drive so it is trying to boot CromeOS from the hard drive. I want to use Chrome OS because it is very light weight and because it will be used by someone who is not very experienced with technology but is pretty deep in the google ecosystem so Chrome OS just makes sense.

I am using an old hp probook windows laptop with a 2nd gen quad core i5 cpu to try to install chromeOS onto as it would make the machine actually useful. In order to do this, I have been following these youtube tutorials: I made it through the linuix mint off the usb and did get ChromeOS to show up as the boot option, however, when the boot log runs through, it keeps getting stuck in a boot loop. See the screenshots below for the boot log. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am using an old amd radon quad core processor to display an always-on google calendar dashboard using Dakboard. However, I have been having display issues where if i move the cursor, refresh the page, and sometimes during boot-up, the display will kinda just decide its had enough. I have attached a few images, interestingly, it is not always quite the same. I experimented with using and external display and sometimes it effected that one as well but not all of the time. It is strangely inconstant. To make it operate silently, I have removed the fan from the computer and I am running the computer about as slowly as I can to avoid thermal issues and because I don't need much power for it. I have included this information because I am not sure what could be causing the issue. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Ok, so it isn't an option to change the bios but what I was wondering is if I could simply make it automatically report an enter key stroke as a keyboard pretending to be the user. Like this: Will it not ground over usb?

I see what you mean but I have only ever done this for an arduino uno and mega before. Is this signal being pinned out to the data return pin on the fan header? Could you please explain what you mean by this? I have no problem paying the $6 for the board if it means less soldering... Is it actually eaiser to replicate the expected signal from the fan than simply send an enter command to the computer?

Is this the board that you were referring to? Is it programmable through the arduino ide?

Well, I guess either of those could work, it definently would increase the complexity of the system but I do have some experience with doing that sort of thing.

I am working on a project for an always-on smart calendar dashboard and for it, I am using an old but otherwise working HP laptop. However, because it does not need to be very powerful at all for the job that it is doing, I have found that the cooling fan does not actually need to run at all and it will still stay quite cool even without it. I have tried to get the fan to be completely shut off through both bios and windows settings but it still runs occasionally when it is simply not needed so I decided to just unplug the fan from the motherboard. This all works great but now every time that I boot it up, I get a bios warning that there is a cooling fan error (well aware, it isn't plugged in) and I have to hit enter to force it to boot anyways. Does anyone know of a way that I could fool the bios into believing the fan is functioning or make it stop displaying the error message? Thanks, DH12043

I am using Task Scheduler for starting it. Here are screenshots taken from inside Task Scheduler Here is a screenshot on the options window.

Throttlestop occasionally will close on its own and doesn’t properly switch from battery mode, back to performance mode when reconected to power. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks for the info. I am using a Mx250 4gb on an HP ENVY x360 so I will be skipping this.
