Thanks to everyone for their help with the 'loud fan' issue. It looks like Zapping the P-Ram worked, as no more screaming fan!
So thanks again

Jon

Jon,

A while back I found that a Parameter RAM reset fixed similar behaviour on a desktop mac. Restart, holding down the following 4 keys: Command, Option, P, R as the machine restarts. Hold these keys till you hear the gong twice; yes, two cycles.

Hi there. Our office has a new 27" iMac. All fine except a fairly loud fan that comes on pretty much at any time. The fan stays on but does not increase in volume. Nor does it heat up or freeze.
Any idea what  this may be? is there a reset for this?

2.66GHz / 4Gb RAM / OSX 10.6.7 / 1Tb

Kind regards
Jon
