My fans are almost always running at high speed, sometimes when I'm just checking my email. It has a very low speed, but pretty much any time I do anything that requires more than basal energy, my laptop starts blasting the fans, but the thing is that often the laptop isn't even warm when they start going. I tried going into my power settings, and I tried to change it in the BIOS, but nothing came up in either setting. I use my laptop a lot at night and in class, so what should I do to keep the fans from being loud and disruptive all the time?
