The fan is constantly running (quietly) on my computer. Strangely enough, I don't remember if it has always been like this (have had computer since Dec 24)- or if I just never noticed it before.
My computer used to feel kinda warm sometimes- but if I remember correctly, the fan would just loudly kick in and then shut off. Today is when I really started wondering about the fan. The computer HAS been cool at least- but I just want to know if there is something wrong with the fan, or if it is always supposed to be on (quietly)- I do know some computer do stay on, then just rev up when needed.
Could someone help me- as if there is something wrong with my computer/fan, I would like to get it checked out.
I am usually never in a totally quiet room, as I have a 9 month old and my husband play Xbox 360- which has a loud fan running all the time....
