T410 - 252226G slow start, fan keeps running, BIOS config hangs
Windows 7 Prof FP1, 80 GB SSD. 4GB Ram
Some strange unusuall behaviour:
1. It takes up to 45 seconds before the ThinkPad Screen is shown when starting (latest 1.45 bios version)
2. When T410 is closed down using W7 system power off; the fan keeps running until the battery is empty. When de/attaching the charger in this stage the T410 beeps like it's still running
3. When choosing 'config' option in BIOS the T410 hangs
Any clue?
I would do a BIOS reset. If your T410 has no supervisor password, then remove the BIOS battery, leave it out for a couple of minutes and then plug it again.
When the T410 boots, go to the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save and re-start.
Hope this helps...

When I start my I Mac desktop the fan keeps running loudly. How do I get it to stop?
Hello there, Jacquefromaz.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the steps to perform a reset of the System Management Controller (SMC):
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Fan start and keep running until start the computer again
when shutdown the iMac the fan start and keep running until start the computer again
That's odd. Have you tried resetting the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer. -
IMac fan keeps running despite resetting the SMC
My iMac fan keeps running loudly even when the computer isn't doing any thing, and I just started it up.
I have tried resetting the SMC and that didn't help.
I also recently had to insert a new hard drive instead of the old one that failed. I am thinking that either the SSD is just hotter than the old hard drive, or that the hard drive sensor is somehow inverted in the plug. Is there any way of testing the hard drive sensor to see if that is faulty, or to test the fan. When I look at the Activity Monitor the system is 87% idle...Although you don't mention which imac you have since 2009 Apple has used hard drives with the temp sensor built in. When replacing one of these late model drives you have to use the same type hard drive or you get fans running all the time because the temp sensor isn't detected. You might want to try some third party software such as iStat Menus, SMC Fan Control or HDD a Fan Control. Google them for reviews.

Mac mini fan keeps running!
Today I turn on my mac mini (late 2011) and its fan keeps running... How can I solve it?
Try resetting the SMC

Hi,
My Tibook's fan keeps running - battery life is at 40 minutes because of this. I am running OSX 10.4.8. I tried quitting all apps but no use.
Any ideas?
Tnx
GuyHit the power button while unplugged at least at one time use to be part of SMC Reset procedure - it gets rewritten every year or so it seems.
Or you could say there was/is a different procedure for each model year.
Some found the culprit was their 3rdd party RAM. -
I have an MAC OSX 10.6.7 and when I turn it on the fan keeps running. I shut down/turn on and it's the same. Any suggestions? Thanks.
jean156,
I am a little confused, you are posting in an iMac forum however your profile only indicates you have a MacPro. While I agree a SMC reset may help please carefully read the link The hatter provided because different Mac's have a different processes for resetting the SMC.
In the mean time you may want to update your profile (Your Stuff in upper right and click Profile) and also please post in the correct forum to avoid confusion. -
Fan keeps running. Maybe from RAM upgrade?
I recently installed 4G of ram into my computer as the old ram was bad. I didn't notice anything for about 1 1/2 months but all of the sudden my fan keeps running. From what my istat pro says, it ranges from 3000 rpms to over 6000rpms! As you can imagine, this is very annoying. My performance isn't affected but the fan is annoying. I have 4G of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRam. I'm worried about over heating. Could somebody please help me with my fan problem?!
Thanks, I love being able to answer questions and help people

My fan keeps running and never stop
my laptop is dell studio 1458
the system is the latest archlinx x64, and now i am using kde 4.6
the problem is that the fan of my laptop keeps running all the time and never stop.
Is there any solution to this problem?
Thx...The warning is there so that people realize they need to be aware of the possible outcome if they don't properly check their fans during the setting up of the software.
The guide even suggests to keep a constant watch on the CPU's temperature during testing, and suggests how you can immediately spin up the fans to max in case of a too high temperature:
Second warning: Some of the steps outlined below describe how to tweak fan speeds. Before doing this be sure you have a low cpu load and are comfortable playing around. If at any time during tweaking you notice the CPU temperature start to rise dramatically, do a echo "255" > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm1 to spin up the fan all the way until things cool down. Basically, you should know what you're doing before fooling with the configuration file.
Alternatively, there's a fan control deamon called dellfand. A related topic can be found here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54865
Essentially, all these tools do the same. The temperature is polled and the fan speed is adjusted.
As far as I know, there is no alternative way / graphical tool to do this for you.
*edit*
considering this is a dell studio, have you checked the system's bios to see if the automated fan control is enabled?

Since starting my iMAC last night, the fan keeps runnings on high. I have tried restarting several times, ran a diagnostics which found no faults, and checked the CPU usage which is around 10%. Any ideas what else I can try?
Your post somehow found its way to a low-traffic forum for Apple desktop models other than iMacs made before 2006. I have asked the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.
Please add your iMac variant and what version of the Mac OS you are running to get faster help. -
Just upgraded on 2010 iMac - now fans keep running full out
I just upgraded to Yosemite on my 2010 iMac 27" i7. Since installing, I have shut down and restarted the computer twice due to the fans in the machine running full out out of nowhere. The air coming out of the top of the machine is relatively cool, and I don't think that heat is the issue but something to do with the system update. The machine runs fine for a while, and then the fans start up a few minutes after it runs. Looking at the activity monitor, I can find no process that is running a processor rampant, nor anything else that I can tell that might be causing all of this.
Has anyone else had a similar problem to this? Any proposed solutions, or diagnostic steps to ferret out the problem?
-JohnNew update: I have indeed found something new. I rad Apple Hardware Diagnostics, the more in-depth test, which revealed that a temperature sensor is not functioning properly:
Error Code: 4SNS/1/C0000008: TA0P--124
The funny thing is that this was not an issue prior to updating to 10.10. I have tried out a few fan control programs and have experimented with them as well. So far I have found that if I attempt to modify the fan speed once the issue develops, no amount of software coaxing will slow the fans down. Also, even before the fans run, all of the temperature sensors are reading within normal parameters. Once the fans run, they still are all at normal or below normal parameters. There is no reading on any sensor indicating that it is not working or reading out of range. Here are two screen shots taken before the issue develops, and right after:
At this point, in a few weeks, I will open the machine and check the connections for the sensors and rule out a connection issue. I still think it may be software related, however. Does anyone have more suggestions for me to try? Thanks in advance.

Why is my macbook Slow and fan always running
I recently upgraded to Mavericks, and since then my computer has been slow and lagging a lot. I see the perpetual spinning beach ball more than I would like. I have done everything I can think of within my knowledge to rectify the problem but it still seems slow to me. I have unistalled apps, cleared caches, run an antivirus, run onyx and cleanmymac applications. I don't know what else I can do. I also find that my fan is running constantly and when I look at the activity monitor nothing is eating my CPU, in fact it is always below 10%. Here is my most recent Etrescheck. PLEASE HELP!! I'm open to all and any suggestions. Thank YOu

"Essential" is defined to specifically exclude CleanMyMac as well as all similarly ill-conceived "cleaning" products that are likely to have similar effects. Never install such junk on a Mac.
Erasing your Mac will have the benefit of eradicating it, the useless Avast garbage, and Internet Plug-Ins as well.
You are likely to need more memory. 2 GB is barely sufficient to run any OS later than Snow Leopard. Your MacBook can address as much as 8 GB and I recommend at least 4 GB. -
the fan on my imac9.1 keeps running..i shut it down and pulled the plug..did not help
The fan minimum speeds are about 1200 rpm, so if the Mac is powered on and not sleeping, they're running.
An iMac's exhaust fans will not run if its power cord is disconnected. If that's what you meant to write, you're hearing something else. -
First use of Photos: fan keeps running
In the few weeks that I've been using my iMac Retina I've never heard the fan. This morning I imported a photo from my iPhone 6 and after that I noticed that while the fan was running high, some iCloud xxx app/task was running in Activity Monitor. I've killed it, rebooted my iMac twice, but still the fan starts running high now and then.
What can I check more?Hey Hans Elting,
This seems to be happening with a number of folks. Here is the link to that discussions.

The solution the had to use was to wait it out and it eventually stopped. How long has this been happening on your mac? -
