Hi @uco73 ,
You may use tools like CrystalDiskInfo to see if hard drive running at an abnormal high temperature. It affects HDD fan speed.

Hi @uco73 ,
You may then check out this thread regarding a similar case on T5500. The questioner solve it himself by resetting fan power cable + BIOS reset (what he mentioned as "removed battery" actually stand for the CMOS battery, that leads to a BIOS reset).

I have A18 BIOS. There are no adjustments anywhere for fan in BIOS. Do I return the old bios? A17 or older?
