What is causing my Macbook Pro fan to run constantly?

Hello. Recently my Macbook Pro fan has begun to run constantly at high power. I've checked the activity monitor and even when there is little RAM or CPU this occurs. I am wondering if the issue is the hard drive because the I am seeing spikes in disk activity at random times even when I am not using the hard drive. The computer is actually heating up when the fans are on at full power, so this also leads me to believe it could be the hard drive. I have already tried resetting the system management controller. Any other ideas? What should I do about this?
Thanks a lot.

Try raising the the the machine with wood, or , plastic botttle caps t get it up an inch or so, that way there is more air flow under the MBP to help with the air flow to help keep the cooling more een.  Hope this helps.

    Who knows.  Dead battery for example.  You provided no details.  Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.
    Which model MBP do you have?  Care to share which OS you are using?

  • What is causing my MacBook Pro not to let me log in or view my desktop?

    For the past few days, I have been able to turn on my MacBook Pro, but everything runs incredibly slowly. I can log in, but it takes a long time for the computer even to register my typed password (I see the dots for the encrypted characters, and the rainbow circle processing icon appears, but then I get at most to a gray screen, or a screen with my desktop wallpaper but no dock and no program or file icons on the desktop (and no menus or other info at the top of the screen).
    The problem started when I had a few browser windows open in Safari and one in Firefox, to watch video. I had been unable to play videos
    in Safari, which I now realize I should have paid more attention to. The video froze,
    and the sound almost seemed to disintegrate into tinny components.
    I believe these are the tech specs for my computer (I got them from an Amazon page I found from searching for the part number).
    2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 Processor
    4 GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
    500GB 5400rpm Hard Drive; 8x DVD/CD SuperDrive
    15.4-Inch LED-backlit Display, 1440-by-900 Resolution; AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB GDDR5
    Mac OS X v10.7 Lion

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test.

    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • What is causing my macbook pro to hard freeze?

    My 2011 15" MacBook Pro started hard freezing recently a couple months ago. The screen goes black and the computer seems to be stuck on a loop. If music is playing, it will repeat the same second of music over and over until I hold the power button. Sometimes I can even hear the sounds from inside the computer (the sounds of the hard drive spinning?) repeat at the same frequency.
    It was rare at first but became much more frequent (once a day) and I finally decided that maybe an update from Leopard to Lion would help. So I updated but the problem is still getting worse. It is now freezing a few times a day, sometimes only minutes after starting back up following a freeze.
    It does seem to be linked to activity, that is, the more I'm doing, the more likely it is to freeze. But I can skype for hours and hours with no problems even though the fans are running high and the computer seems to be working hard, and then try to preview a pdf on my desktop and it freezes.
    If the update to Lion didn't help at all, what else can I do? Could this be a hardware problem?

    Ok, so I looked through the system.log and couldn't see any obvious error messages but here's everything that happened after I woke my computer from Sleep and before the crash:

    Thanks so much for your help!!

  • What could cause my MacBook Pro runing under 10.6.7 to freeze completely?

    Hi,
    It happen once and a while that my MacBook Pro freezes completely.
    I have done the 10.6.7 update but I am not sure if the problem is related.
    I know the problem could be related to many factors but I am trying to create some kind of check list before I reinstall...
    This happen randomly. It could happen with one app open or several.
    What would you do to solve this issue?
    Thanks for your help,
    Macly yours,
    Olivier

    Hi,
    Thank you for your respond. I guess this brings me to the Apple tech service as your conclusion involve a hardware evaluation (bad memory module). I installed fan control that shows an average temperature of 47° and fan speed at 2000 RPM but doesn't tell me much as if it is good or bad...
    Macly yours,
    Olivier

  • What is causing my Macbook pro retina to restart and mention it recovered from a serious error?

    This happened 3 times in a few days already, mostly working with audio, my macbook suddenly quits and reboots after pressing a key to dismiss a message, Then it shows this report:
    Your computer was restarted because of a problem.

  • What would cause a MacBook Pro display to begin having a red cast to everything I view? MacBookPro1,1 Mac OS X, 1.3 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz RAM

    All of a sudden my MacBook Pro (Granted it is an old computer) started having a red cast to the display.  All shading and shadows are red now.  Up until yesterday, I never had any problems with the display.  Is it just getting too old?  Computer works fine otherwise.

  • Macbook Pro Fan Continues Running After download Error -- Please Help so Loud

    Hello,
    I recently tried to download the Citrix reciever application onto my Macbook pro. The installation was taking an excessive period of time and it was obvious that something had gone wrong in the download because it had taken several hours and was stuck at a certain step. I tried to cancel the installation but it wouldn't allow me. So I force quit the installation and thought that it was shut down, but I was mistaken. The next time I opened my computer the fan was running at an increased rate and was very loud and the computer was heating up. I tried to restart the computer and it said that the program was still trying to download and that the computer could not be shut down until completed. I got frustrated and basically forced a power down by signing out and holding the power button or something of that nature till it shut down. I waited overnight and then powered it back up but nothing had changed and the fan was still running like crazy but it says the program is not trying to install anymore though. I checked the activity level and CPU but nothing is out of ordinary of high. The program is not anywhere on my computer either so I have no idea what is going on and cannot figure out how to stop this fan running like this. It is draining my battery, overheating my computer and is annoying too.
    Any help, hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated or I will be forced to visit the apple store for some help I guess.
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, spoke way to early.  The fan issue is still a big problem.  From the second the machine is turned on, the fan cranks up.  Frankly, I think this is overheating the machine to some extent (running the fan at max speeds when it's not even warm).  Additionally, the noise caused by this has only gotten worse, and now it is even making a "whistling sound."  Looks like I'm going to be making the trek to the Genious Bar, but based on comments by others on this issue I am not optimistic about a fix.

  • Macbook Pro fan keeps running (2011)

    Hi there,  I recently charged my 2011 13" Macbook Pro to 100%. Upon using it in class for about 2hours the Fan was constalny running and CPU raging on high. Moreover, the battery goes down to 20% in this time period. For reference, I only had Google Chrome, Mail and Word open in this class period. Whats going on? As I type this to you, the fan is this going strong and my battery in 20%
    Any ideas? Should I contact the Apple store as I do have an Apple Care Warranty on the machine
    I also have a Curcial 512GB SSD in the machine but this is the first time this is happening in the 3 weeks use in the SSD installed and upadted to Apples latest update a few days ago
    Thanks

    Just to narrow things down a bit.
    I had the same problem and discovered the following.  When using Firefox, my battery ran out of time faster, my mac was hot and fan ran periodically. When using FF with Silverlight, battery time was even worse, fan almost always on and computer was hot.
    On 3rd test, I moved all my open pages from FF to Safari and have been testing the battery time with FF closed and Safari open. So far, my fan has not come on once. Going to watch a video online to see if it's better as well. My diagnostics show Silverlight, by far, is a power hog, FF was the next biggest problem but not bad.
    Basic details from rough testing.
    6/21/12 with Silverlight running in FF
    1.34 min at 12.39 pm  full power on screen, full charge
    .32 min at 1.39 pm
    just over 1 hr.
    6/22/12 - activity monitor open, FF, no silverlight.
    3.47 min at 9.38 am 3/4 power on screen, full charge, silverlight off and on.
    .19 min at 12.28 pm
    Almost 3 hrs.
    6/21/12 after recharge. Full charge, 3/4 power on screen lighting. All work in Safari, FF closed.
    4.39 min at 5.55 pm using safari and not firefox.
    3.59 at 7.02 pm
    waiting to see.
    Hope this helps anyone.

  • Macbook pro fan suddenly running more

    i've had my macbook pro for about 3.5 years.  last year, the battery was replaced.  it's been running fine but suddenly i notice the fan running a lot more.  first it was when i was using my screen saver which is an aquarium - it used to run silently but now the fan is on when it's running.  now the fan is running when i'm playing a simple arcade game on-line.  again, it used to play silently but now when i play the fan runs.  this is a sudden thing that just started happening.  any thoughts?  do i need to take it to the shop?

    Check Activity Monitor
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1473?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, take the computer to the Apple store.
    Best.

  • Macbook pro fan always running - cpus are pegged by kernel

    I reloaded the os with no change.  When restarted the fans start and the cpus are pegged within 1 minute.

    Did you use the Command-R keys method or did you try Command-option-R keys to boot to true Internet Recovery? You should be able to wipe your hard drive (erasing it and formatting as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition. DON'T try this method if you don't have a backup as it will erase everything on the hard drive.
    You may need to get an external drive and use Time Machine to make a backup and then COMPLETELY wipe the drive and make a COMPLETE new OS installation.

  • Macbook pro fan running slow

    macbook pro fan is running slow and hot.  it fluctuates between 212 and 375 rpms.  heat rises up to 104c.  do i need to replace the fan?

    Before I suggest advice, I urge you to keep your machine under 160F at all times. I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but you can seriously damage your machine with that kind of use. Some solders melt at 225F, weaken at 190F.
    You may have to replace the fan - or you may need to clean the inside of your machine and fan. It's hard to tell without inspecting your machine.
    Or you may find that you need to get a different browser, and become more aware of temperature; laptop machines are much more sensitive to termperature issues than desktop Macs. Some day, you'll thank me for that advice.

  • Mainstage 2.1 makes my Macbook Pro fans run full bore.

    Upgraded to V. 2.1 and Snow Leopard. Now my Macbook Pro fan kicks in at full blast whenever I play any patches or run backing tracks. Cpu hit looks low and memory usage is average. This never happened before. Any ideas as to what's happening?

    My MBP fans have always run at full capacity when using MS 1, 2 or 2.1. They start out running normally but then start to rev up after a couple of minutes. You could try running some fan control software to manually adjust your fan thresholds but ultimately, does it really matter if the fans are running hard? Seems to me that they're running hard because they need to....MS is still very hard on system resources even if the meters say otherwise. It's the only app I run that causes the fans to run flat-out.

  • MacBook Pro fan running constantly

    My 3 month old MBP's fan started running constantly a couple days ago, even when I close the lid. My usage is about 90% internet - no CPU intensive games or really anything else. 
    This happened about the same time my two small children were trying to play with the computer - they had gotten into the Guest account and somehow the computer was locked, so I did a hard power off. Since then (roughly) this fan problem has been present.
    I can't find any software settings that would cause the fan to run constantly. Any suggestions? The machine is running very smoothly overall, and has been a bit cooler on my lap (as one would expect I suppose). But it's annoyingly loud and I'm worried the fan will die from overuse.
    Any suggestions?

    Just putting the Macbook Pro Retina to Sleep by going the Apple Menu command did the trick. So another thanks for the question and Ralph's pointer to Apple's Knowledge Base article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    And let me say what a bizarre OS or fan glitch that, I guess AS OF DEC 21, 2013, still UNFIXED BY APPLE?
    Like Jodi, my MBP is, hmmnnn...3 - 4 months old. And her post was over a year and a half ago. Also, bizarre that Apple has a Knowledge Base article dated from Oct. 2012 so it's clearly known about it for x amount of users...
    Even if they solved it in Mavericks, they should still patch and support OS 10.8

  • Macbook Pro fan running constantly and CPU running slow

    So, I have a Macbook Pro 2010 2.3 i7 that has started running really slow and the fan is running constantly.
    In activity monitor it shows a kernel_task running constantly at around or above 200%.
    I have tried all the regular tasks.  PRam reset, SMC reset and nothing seems to fix it.
    I have also tried a system reinstall to no avail.
    Maybe I'm on the wrong track, but from what I have read, the kernel_task might be trying to slow my CPU down because it thinks it is being overworked?
    Maybe the fans are also being activated because it thinks the computer is too hot?
    Anyway, if anyone has any idea as to what I can do to figure out what is going on, let me know.  Thanks
