Hi everybody,
I had a problem with my old computer in the last days of its life !!!! ... ... before it was gone .... it had become so that everything I wanted to with it, from opening an IE or Firefox window to using a virtual machine using VMWare Workstation, its fan (and I think the CPU fan)'s voice increased.
Now I have a laptop and it is ON most of the time. Sometimes when I come and sit by it, its fan is also working in an increased revolution and hence increased voice (of course its voice is much lower than my old desktop but it is still not the normal voice) and when I open the Task Manager to see if any process is using the CPU very much causing this noise, I don't find any process.
Can somebody guide me to know what is the cause of this? Because most of the time when I sit by it and start using it (and of course simple use not something like starting a game or ....) after some time, its fan's revolution decreases and so is its noise.
Is it possible that this is because my laptop gets warm? If so, how can I do something to prevent this?
It's most likely just you fan kicking in from low to high speed to cool your laptop off, then slows back down when it cools off. Laptops get hot faster due to their compact size. Every so often you can use a can of compressed air to clean the cooling vent by blowing it out. This will help allow it to continue to cool easier.
My wife's does the same but it also gets really hot so about once a month i use compressed air to clean all the vents and fan ports out and it is good for awhile.
