rojodojo Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hello,I have this problem where after I boot to the desktop, a (or several) fans in my laptop start spinning as if a heavy process is occurring. This lasts about 5 minutes. Oddly, the CPUs are both running at about 5-10% and the memory usage is ~400mb which is the stable usage that doesn't change if I leave the laptop on for 2 hours. So, in other words, nothing is happening but the fans are spinning like mad.I've tested it on several operating systems:No probem: Ubuntu 9.04, Windows XP Problem: Ubuntu 9.10+, Windows Vista and Windows 7This is the model of my laptop.Any help would be great,Thanks in advance.

Boris Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sounds like it is overheating ?Have you made sure all the cooling vents underneath and on the sides are not blocked and are free from dust/fluff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
