Problem with HP Omen 30L system shutdown 90D code.
Over the last month, my HP Omen 30L has faced unexpected power cuts labeled as thermal shutdown (90D). I don’t play heavy games except for Apex Legends, and the fans still increase as expected. Recently, while just browsing or watching a 1080p video on YouTube, both the CPU and exhaust fans spiked for about 15 seconds before calming down. My system has a 3060 processor, which according to fancontrol doesn’t overclock. I’m using a 500W power supply with 32GB RAM. All BIOS and drivers are up to date. HP contacted me, saying it’s out of warranty and asking for a one-time fee to connect to service tech. I haven’t replaced the stock cooler, and my desktop is nearly three years old. Any advice would be appreciated. Below is the log from when the shutdown occurred.

the cpu fan isn't working properly, which can shorten the lifespan of components if left unaddressed. it's causing overheating, so consider reducing the graphics load in the game or using a fan control program to boost fan speed.
The lifespan estimate is around 2 to 3 years based on usage patterns.
what in the hell is this statement? i've had a laptop spend 10 years at 95°c for the full timespan it was on, and by now i can say i have multiple systems that are over 20 years old. none of them have issues beyond scratchy fans or wonky hard drives. the lifespan of silicon is "so long it's undefined", and heat is of so little effect to that lifespan compared to other factors (like voltage) it's pretty much a nothingburger. that aside.. the actual issue at hand... @fun_two when's the last time you dusted your computer? my guess is the cpu cooler is just caked with dust, because i've never seen a HP system that didnt complain on boot if the cpu fan wasnt spinning. i'd stay away from replacing components until we've run out of options that dont involve the parts cannon.
I understand the note and don't need to panic. I haven't made the purchase yet. I'm still in the research phase. My computer stays tidy—cleaned during DSL hours, twice a year, kept off the desk. As discussed, FanControl only detects the 3060 fan and not the rear exhaust or CPU cooler. No unusual noises; it just boosts to high for 15-20 seconds before slowing down. Most shutdowns occur after exiting Hibernate, usually within 5-10 minutes.
