I purchased my HP laptop back in 2009. It came installed with Windows 7. It has an Intel quad-core processor and 8 gigs of RAM. I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and since then my laptop's fan has been running high and hot constantly. It did not behave this way before I upgraded the OS. The fan usually acts up when I have 2 or more things running on the laptop.

Has anyone else had this kind of experience? Thanks. :(

Before the upgrade, did you update your BIOS? There have been known issues with excessive heat after the upgrade/clean install from 7 to 8/8.1. The BIOS update is being reported as a fix for this and over all stability.
