Hi all,
So, my computer for a few months now has had the fan running constantly, and gets pretty hot even when I'm not doing much. I just downloaded Speccy and realized that though my secondary computer is running at 80 normally, my primary laptop is hitting 160 degrees. This is with a web browser and a Skype call going, but even when the computer is still the fan runs one hundred percent.
How can I solve this? What are common fan troubleshooting steps? If the problem persists, is it a crucial issue that warrants taking it to a professional? Looking for advice,
Andrew
