Re: Fan Non Stop
Are you running SETI or similar Boinc programmes?I notice my fan stays on when the programme is downloading new work units.

Re: Fan Non Stop
Hi, open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder. Often a program we are unaware of is working very hard and the fans are on to handle the load. See also WAMUG archives, this problem comes up a lot.

Re: Fan Non Stop
Try resetting the System Management Controller • From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off). • Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables. • Wait at least 15 seconds. • Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer. • Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
