@nvmvoidrays,
Could you try booting into safe mode then uninstall Lenovo Energy Management then boot into normal windows and reinstall Lenovo Energy Management. Also could you let me know what version of BIOS are you on?
@jcwillis1865,
Am currently waiting for a fix from engineering. I will update you once I receive news from them.

Ix12-300r Fans Running at 100% on boot up but nothing else happens!

Hi All
Hopefully someone will be able to assist me, i have an ix12-300r at home that use as a media server.
It has 20Tb of storage across 3 pools,
Earlier today i was moving some media off of it & suddenly it stopped responding.
I left it for 2hrs then decided to button it until it went off.
Now whenever it starts up the fans do the usual 100% spin but the ever stop, no HDD's show any activity!
Have i lost everything?
What can i do to get it going again?
Any help is appreciated.
Mark

Hello Jockavelli
Forcing off these type of units is only recommended as a final option as it can affect the storage pool(s).
I recommend powering off the unit (press and release, hold the power if it does not shut off after 30 seconds), partially remove each of the disks, then try booting the unit with the drives disconnected.
The unit should fully boot and show an error requesting that you insert disks. At this point you can begin to insert each disk one at a time, allow about 30 seconds for each drive to start up. If you have multiple storage pools please insert the disks for a particular pool one at a time, then move on to the next set of disks on another pool.
If you are still unable to access the unit's web interface with no disks or the data is not accessible after the above process, please contact LenovoEMC support to see about further assistance.

Cpu and fans running at 100%

I've been working on this 20" iMac G5 for a couple weeks now and I'm stumped.
I've reset the smu, the nvram, wiped and put on a fresh install of 10.5, updated to 10.5.8 and still the computer is LOUD.
The fans run at a constant 100%, so I check the processor temp and it was 85c the instant the screen came on. So I proceeded to check the ventilation, took it all apart and all the air ways are clear, I checked, cleaned, and applied brand new thermal paste, put it all back together and still the instant the screen comes on the fans go to 100% and temp jumps to 85c
Then a student said "is it working hard?" Just to humor him I launched the activity monitor and to my surprise it was. The processor was running at 100% and the process that was doing it all is "top" running from the user 'root'.
I proceeded to type kill 321 (the pid) and the processor dropped to 10% and after about half an hour the temp was a normal 60c and the fans went quiet, but the instant I log out or reboot that 'top' process kicks back on and the machine starts over heating.
I've tried 10.4 and 10.5, wiped the HD about 5times and 'top' keeps running the processor off the deep end with every install.
I've tried permission repairs and hardware checks, even ran the full techtools deluxe scan.
I've tried finding others with this problem but it is understandably difficult to search for problems with 'top'.
It is no longer under warranty and no one is going to miss it if I just throw it out, but I don't want to give up on a 2.1Ghz machine for student use if that can be avoided.
I'm willing to try any ideas to get that process fixed, the only idea I have left is to replace the cmos battery, and prey to the computer gods, but I doubt that will do anything.

Hey there - same problm here w/ white flatscreen G5 (PPC).
Did you have any luck in solving your problem?
Thx

Firmware update made fans run at 100%, can I downgrade firmware?

I bought a 2nd hand PowerBook G4 dvi 12" 1GHZ. It used to run Panther fine. Installed Leopard, ran software update and ever since the fans are on 100% (temps are all about 40 degrees C., that looks fine).
A reinstall and all pramvrampmu resets didn't help.
G4fancontrol didn't help.
After 10.3.7 added 5 kext files that did something with fancontrol. Some folks removed these and then it worked, not with me.
Even disconnecting superdrive, hdd and modem still makes the fans go 100%.
Hardware test from original cd crashes, so I can't use that.
Problems started after the firmware update (now at boot rom version 4.7.5f1). So I guess if I could downgrade to an older firmware version my luck would change.
- Could I downgrade the firmware?
- Where would I get an old version of the firmware?
All thoughts and ideas welcome of course

Hi drrdave and Welcome to the Apple Forums...
You might want to update to 10.5.4 and see if that takes care of it.

ThinkCentre Edge 72 Fan running at 100%

Hello,
I use a ThinkCentre Edge 72 3484 PC which CPU fan is constantly (load and idle) running at 100% speed (2500rpm). This resulsts in a very noisy working area and is very annoying. I installed the latest BIOS (F1KT63A / 21.01.2014), the latest chipset device driver (9.3.0.1020 / 16.05.2012), the latest Lenovo Desktop Power Manager (3.20.0006 / 12.12.2013), loaded Setup defaults after BIOS update and checked the C1E state (enabled, C1E only and also every other settings which I can choose) and also installed Speedfan to check the temperatures and fan-speed. The fan is running at 100% even though the CPU temperature is only at 23°C. I even opened the desktop case and checked if the CPU fan is installed correct and that all four pins of the fan connector are fine.
Specs:
Model: ThinkCentre Edge 72 (3484)
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 with latest windows updates
Chipset driver: 9.3.0.1020 / 16.05.2012
BIOS version: F1KT63A / 21.01.2014
Lenovo Desktop Power Manager: 3.20.0006 / 12.12.2013
How do I fix this issue? Every help appreciated.
Solved!

FYI: I called lenovo support and they sent a technician who replaced the CPU fan and now everything is working like it should.

MSI GE60 0ND Fan running at 100% issue

Hi,
So for the past few months my laptop has been having the issue where it would have the fan speed increase to 100% then slow down and turn off. It would do this a lot. Anyway, tonight I was playing a game and next thing I heard the fan increase to 100% but this time it made a loud almost grinding noise. And that's all it does now. It has slowed my boot up incredibly. I unplugged the fan to test this theory and my boot up was less than 10 seconds. So now I have a fan making a loud noise and creating issues with my laptop. I have a GE60 0ND windows 8.1. The bios has never been flashed and it came installed with windows 8. Can anyone help me? I have tried an EC Reset.

tell what's your BIOS and EC versions

My iMac G5 powers on and runs fine for 20 to 60 minutes then locks up and all fans run at 100%

I thought my Hard drive had finally crashed and while replacing it (1TB Hitachi) I also replace the 512MB of RAM with 2 x 1Gb sticks of Crucial Memory. While re-loading 10.4 the system locked up again and the fans started running at 100%. I tried 3 more times and the same thing. With in 20 to 30 minutes the system locks up and the fans roar. I was told buy a friend the PSU had bad caps (all the MB caps look perfect) and I should replace it. I purchased a used PSU from Ebay and this time I got the entire OS installed and 8 of the first 9 undates and then, it did it again. I powered the iMac off and rebooted and now I get no bottom tool bar and in 50 to 60 minutes the same thing. Please help, I am certified on Dell and HP but this iMac is driving me nuts.

Take a closer look at the logic board caps. They dont have be totally blown open to be bad.
If you look closely and see that they are bulging just a small bit they are BAD.
These symptoms sound like bad logic board caps.

MSI GTX570 Twin Frozr II OC - How to make fans run at 100%?

Hello!
I have a SLI setup with 2xMSI GTX570 Twin Frozr II OC. The Afterburner let's me adjust fan speed to 85% max. I would like to set it to 100% 'cuase my system tends to heat up considerably. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks!

If I have ony 1 card installed, then it idles below 40 degrees, and heats up to about 70 degress under heavy load (Kombustor GPU burn-in test) with fan set to Auto.
When both cards are installed is SLI mode, they idle at 50 and 45 degrees respectfully (GPU 51Mhz, Mem 135Mhz), heating up to 97-98 and 87 respectfully (GPU 750Mhz, Mem 2000Mhz) under heavy load (Kombustor GPU xtreme burn-in test). At 97 degrees the card starts to throttle to avoid overheating. The fans at both cards operate at maximum speed.
Interestingly enough, even with the case side door removed the first card still hits 97 degrees. I believe being so close to each other in SLI mode they just can't adequatle cool each other because of the heat produced. Right now they are installed in PCI-E x16 Slot 1 and PCI-E x16 Slot 2. I tried installing one of the cards to PCI-E Slot 3 to make a gap between them for better cooling, but in this config they don't run in SLI for some reason, and I still would have to place my Creative sound card between them.
Anyway, here are a few photos of my setup for you to better understand:

My system description is below in the signature. The cards run at their factory speeds of 750/2000. Voltage is 0.988V and 0.975V respectfully.

Try do this:

GT70 2QD system crash with FANS running at 100% on external monitor only

So I have a GT70 2QD with 4710MQ and 970M graphics. I've swapped out the hard drives and gone with 2 SSD's and added another 16GB of RAM. I'm quite experienced with system building, so no concerns there. My problem only occurs when I have the computer attached to an external monitor. The fans will get up to max without using the button to enable the cooling boost and the only way to shut it down is to put the system to sleep. Temperatures are never an issue, especially once the fans get going. The system will occasionally slow down and lag and has from time to time just crashed and rebooted. I have none of these issues while using the laptops own monitor, gaming or not. It is strictly related to being attached to an external monitor. Any thoughts, suggestions or previous experience with this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for asking...I've done a bunch of research, and from what I can see on the forums this isn't an isolated incident. Sadly it seems that ppl that have sent their laptops in for RMA get them back and still end up having the same problem. It very well could be a motherboard issue, but is that's the case, IMO it sounds like a faulty temperature sensor. The only fix for that would be a new motherboard. The cost of doing RMA business with MSI in the past has been atrocious (over $100 for a video card) so I'm afraid to ask what it would cost to send my laptop to them. All they really need to do is a firmware update that identifies the faulty sensor and changes its operation parameters.
Firmware update has its limits. Maybe this is something cannot be fixed by firmware.

Fan runs all the time?

I just bought a dual G5
the (very loud) fan runs almost 100% of the time when I have a CD in (I've been installing software and also tested it with a regular CD). Is this common? It is annoying for sure...any suggestions? chris
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I think you are confusing the noise from the CD drive with fan noise. When you insert a DVD or CD, it spins at up to approximately 10,000 revolutions per minute. This is definitely going to cause noise, and is likely what you are hearing. Don't worry, this is completely normal, and is the case with every fast CD drive I have ever encountered.

MSI 970a-g43 CPU fan always at 100% when fast boot or MSI Fast Boot is enabled

I turned on fast boot in my motherboard in my BIOS but now whenever I boot into windows the CPU fan is always at 100%. I really like the performance gain from fast boot, however I can't stand the CPU fan always at 100%. The fan normally runs at ~1150rpm when its off but when its on it runs full blast ~2800rpm.
My specs are:
MSI 970a-g43
AMD FX 6300
MSI HD 7870 OC Edition (Flashed with GOP vBios)
2x4 8gb DDR3 g.skillz ram

I have it set to 55c smart fan control in the BIOS. With fast-boot off it works perfectly. It seems like its not lowering the fan like it normally does when its on. If I go into the BIOS and reset it it'll work fine the first time, but after that it'll do the 100% fan speed all the time.

Will not boot up and fans run at high speed

will not boot up and fans run at high speed

after much head scratching I ran the hardware test disk from cd. The test showed a memory issue I eliminated the faulty one systematically. So it wasn't a hard drive or software problem in the end it was faulty memory. What was misleading was the computer telling me there was a fault on the hard drive. The machine works fine now. Thanks to people's comments I learned a bit more about the G5 that helped eliminate probable causes

Updated to OS 10.7.3; fan runs constantly and battery life dropped to under 2 hours when 100% charged. How do I get back to 10.7.2, I don't have a backup prior to this upgrade. This is a newer Macbook Pro 13", no modifications.

Help! This new version of Lion is making me miserable. The fan runs constantly, the computer is hot and battery life has dropped to under 2 hours on a fully charged battery. I updated yesterday, nothing but misery today. Even running the mail program alone make the fan run like I have everything open. Using Pages, iPhoto, and iTunes simultaneously makes the computer blistering hot.Yesterday, I could use all three without any trouble. Any suggestions to either jettison 10.7.3 or how to fix without any expense? I haven't modified this computer at all, it is as it came from the box in August 2011: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.

I updated to Lion 10.7.3 and started noticing my fans running on high all the time and my battery would drain 2-3x faster. I was going to take my computer into an Apple store until I found this thread. I did the SMC reset by shutting down my computer, plugging it in, and then pushing down shift+control+option while also pushing down the power button. Nothing happens on the screen and the computer did not turn on. I then released all the buttons at once after holding them down for 10 seconds.
After that, I simply turned my computer back on and everything seems to be working fine. The fans are not blasting anymore. I have a newer MacBook Pro where I can't access my batteries. The SMC reset may differ for other types of laptops.

Dock consumes 100% of CPU and fan runs. What to do?

I have a 2010 MBP with SSD and VMWare (not Parallels). Every so often, the dock cranks up to consume 100% of the CPU, and the fan runs. The problem goes away when I reboot. I've tried quiting various applications, but it doesn't seem to make a difference (i.e. I cannot identify a rogue app that's causing this). There are a lot of discussion threads on this problem with OS 10.6.8 and Parallels, but I'm running Lion 10.7.1 and VMWare (which I've shut down).
Any others have this issue? Ideas for solution?

Small update: Despite my intelligence, good looks and vast experience I use Google sometimes. To my surprise this file turns out to be a Windows one. Here is someone who is much happier, and since it is some way in my line of thinking I'll quote it, but you might take my previous advice as well:

Fan is running with 100% performance starting Satellite P750-10t PSAY3

Hi all,
I got a Problem with my Laptop.
I bought this Laptop last week and I noticed some unwated shutdowns thanks to overheating. Everytime I power it on the fan is running with about 100% performance but when I finally get into my OS (Win 7, 64 bit as it was delivered) it stops regulating.
If I start playing games or more than 1 Adobe Product at the same time it starts getting hotter.
Whenever I Check the temperature via Toshiba PC Health Monitor it shows that the temperature is at a chritical point but the fan is still running with about 30 - 40% (80% shown)... its not even half as loud as it is after turning the pc on.
I dont know what to do now?! Are there any Toshiba Programs/tools to fix this?
I tried Speedfan and some other programs but they dont even show my fans.
Sorry for my bad english.

Hi
If you did not change any settings in the past, I recommend editing the power plant settings of the Win 7 power options.
Here a nice How to which describes detailed the single options:
+How to handle the power managment features of Windows 7+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD12017W0001R01.htm
take a look to the option called: Toshiba Power Saver:
Here you can set the cooling method to maximum CPU performance.
This will allow the fan running faster.
Additionally you should change the Processor power management: Minimum processor state and Maximum processor state.
Last but not leas start the tool called Toshiab HWSetup.
Here choose the CPU tab and set it to low.
Then reboot the unit and test the functionality.
