any way to make my laptop fans constantly run/make my laptop always running

overturnedv1

basically in overwatch (blizzard are no help) this thing happens where my monitor just stops working when overwatch is running (only overwatch). when im in the middle of a game it doesnt happen, but it happens a lot when im in queue or right at the start of a game. i was thinking it might be cuz overwatch is terrible and doesnt know when to run fans or something so is there a way to always run them?

The fans are not the issue and Overwatch does not control them.

Is this flickering or turning black for multiple seconds?

SpeedFan might help you out for the fans. Though I kinda doubt it would be that, as being in queue is smaller load on your internals than the game itself.

The temperature of the computer should be handled automatically without issues and issues would appear in the form of spontaneous shutdowns.

then it's not the temps causing the crashes.  There are lots of things the computer is doing in the 30 seconds before and after a match.  These things are different from what's happening when you're in the match.  If the computer is overheating, it won't change anything (besides throttling) until it turns completely off.  It goes 'poof', monitor turns black and you go "oh my god did it just let out the magic smoke?"

 

If Overwatch is crashing that's not a thermal issue.

Could be a problem loading game files.  This would hit you just before a match starts.

Could be a problem with CPU ramping up/down and the voltage not matching, but that would cause a blue screen.

Could be a problem with drivers.

 

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the game yet?
