MacBook Air :: Battery Gets Very Hot During Use And Doesn't Last Long, Fan Runs At High Speed
Jun 25, 2012Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Power Mac G5 :: Display Shows Gray Screen - Fan Runs High Speed ?
Oct 10, 2007I purchased my PowerMac G5 in 2003 and no problems till now. My problem is that on startup, the display first shows gray screen with a globe in a white box flashing in the center of the screen. This continues for about 90 seconds --- then the globe in box icon changes to a small file folder icon with alternating face/question mark flashing in the file folder. At about the same time, the fan speeds up dramatically. The fan continues to run at this high speed for about 90 additional seconds, then the fan returns to normal speed, and the startup continues normally to the blue screen. Once startup is complete, computer runs okay. The whole process takes about 4 minutes.

PowerPC :: G4 Ibook Dead - Blank Screen - Fan Runs On High Speed?
Nov 22, 2008I purchased a used ibook from owc in January and have had it back to them twice for repairs. Lately, it stopped booting up again and they told me to use [URL] to take the mobo out and ship it to Arizona to have the solder refloated. I did and got it back, put it together and it would boot up, only to run for 15 minutes and shut down. Thinking I missed something, I dissasembled it today and reassembled it. Now it turns on with a blank screen, the fan runs on high, and it will go no further. I tried to reset the power manager, reset the p-ram, the hard drive is only a few months old and my brain is getting fried with frustration.

Hardware :: MacBook Fan Runs Constantly - Driver SPd Command?
Jan 5, 2011Black MacBook fan runs constantly. I found a thread here that looks helpful: [URL]. Following suggestions there I looked in Terminal at the top cpu processes for a rogue process that's overloading the cpu and keeping the fan running. What I see is a "COMMAND" called "DriverSPd" with a PID of 157* that often runs the cpu past 90%. Do you know what Driver SPd is? Can I kill it (without killing my MacBook?)
View 1 Replies View RelatedLaptops :: MacBook Pro Fan Runs High When Asleep?
Oct 25, 2010MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core2Duo with 2 GB 667MHz SDRAM runs very quietly when being used. When left with lid closed overnight but still logged in, each AM the the fan is running loudly at high speed and the case is hot. As soon as I open it and it starts up, the fan quiets down and the case is cool in a few minutes. The temps range (when open and quiet) from 90-125 F for various components and the fan speeds are about 2000 RPM. Why should it run hot when closed and asleep.

MacBook Pro :: Fan Runs Constantly From Startup / Battery Life Getting Worse?
Oct 20, 2009I've got an early 2008 Macbook Pro and, recently, I've noticed that the fan (fans?) begins running from the moment the computer is powered-up. iStat tells me that both fans are running at about 2000 rpms, though I only hear a slight whoosing noise from the left side. I don't remember the fan running constantly, and I have noticed that my battery life seems worse than normal recently. Is this normal, and something I just haven't noticed until recently?
View 6 Replies View RelatedMacBook :: CPU Runs At High Temp - Wants To Reduce The Heat?
Mar 10, 2009I'm using iStat and it says that my CPU runs at temps around high 70s, low 80 degrees Celsius for about 10-15 minutes at a time (also says the same for Airport card). It usually takes a while for it to cool down. I always place my laptop on flat surfaces. It does this even during light internet surfing minus flash or any other multimedia...now WITH multimedia use, it reaches the 80s no problem and I just quit the process cuz I don't want my laptop to explode one day.
I just wanted to know if this was average and what temps everyone else is usually running at?
I'm afraid that if it runs at these high of temps for a long time each time like that, then it may do some damage somewhere...

View 5 Replies View RelatedLaptops :: MacBook Gets Hot And The Fan Runs Full-speed When Idle?
Oct 19, 2008I have an early 2008 Black MacBook with 4GB of RAM and the stock 160GB hard drive. Sometimes, when I have only Mail and Safari open and am just browsing emails, the fan starts to run full speed, and the internal temperature reaches 180. This often happens when the Mac is actually idle and only displaying the screen saver! The room I'm in is rarely over 75 when this occurs. I don't really have any intensive login services, just a GMail notifier and things like Suitcase and iTunes Manager.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Proc Temp Constantly High - How To Know About It
Apr 7, 2010I had my computer idling and noticed that the fans sped up to full blast, so naturally I tried to figure out what was causing it to heat up. I quit pretty much every app I had running, no diff. I unplugged my iPhone, no diff. Even shutdown the computer, fans went right back up as soon as I loaded up OS X. So I looked at SMC Fancontrol (which I never really even use) and the temp was at 88 C!!
I have nothing open, completely turned off the computer and rebooted it to make sure that nothing running would be causing it, and it's STILL running hot as hell! Is there anything I can do to see what's causing it to run so damn hot? I really don't wanna put a crap-load of wear on my fans and CPU here.

Jan 7, 2010I have one of the black macbooks with c2d, a GMA950 graphics card, and 2 gig of ram. When I run Windows XP in Fusion, the fan runs almost constantly - even without any windows applications running (antivirus is running). This bothers me.
It's getting time for me to consider a new laptop. Does anyone have any experience with the GeForce 9400M or 9600GT video card laptops? I'm wondering if my experience will be different with either video card.

Power Mac G5 :: Fan Runs On High And Won't Wake From Sleep - It Freezes?
Dec 10, 2007I have a G5 (Power PC, g5, Dual 1.8 GHZ with 1.25 GB SDRAM, and Mac OS X 10.4.10-phew!) and I recently: added more USB ports using a PCI card, and purchased a non-Apple 22" widescreen display.
Prior to adding USB ports, I was using a hub that ran off its own power source, and used a Samsung 19" monitor.
My situation now: everything starts up fine, but ultimately the fan will kick in at SUPER HIGH and won't stop. I can put my Mac to sleep--which stops the fan noise--but then it won't wake up.
I have run the Apple Hardware test and everything checks out OK. I've also reset the SMU according to directions from this forum; AND I've vacuumed out all the dust bunnies.
The fan runs so loud and so high it sounds like it's an airplane that's about to take off.
Short of bringing in my Mac to a technician, can you recommend anything? My Mac has been glitch free up until now.

MacBook :: Download Speed Constantly Decreses Within 30 Seconds
Jun 14, 2010I have problem with download speed - for example, I start downloading a file in Safari with 2.3 mb/s, after approximately 30 seconds speed starts to decrease - 2.1, 1.9, 1.7...till some kb/sec. And this problem is not only with Safari, the same is with Fugu. It's a hardware problem or software? Wireless router works great.

MacBook Pro :: Fan Speed Is Constant High In MBP
Mar 22, 2010Whenever i open an application both of the fans go to 6000+ rpm in a couple minutes give or take.Strangely web browsing doesn't cause this speed but if a youtube video is played it gets up there fast.Applications such as quicktime and logic gets up there no matter what is played.I have fan control and smcfancontrol, 40GB free, software updated, tried the reset thing (turn off, hold power button, boot), cleared printing operations.The only thing smcfancontrol does for me is it slows down the fans quicker whenever i close all my applications.

Jun 14, 2012Lately my MacBook is making a lot of noise. I was at school working in Google Docs when suddenly a lot of noise came out of my MacBook and I think it's the fans.
When I for example watch a YouTube video the noise starts and I'v never had that before. Also when I run my Minecraft server and Minecraft at the same time it starts spinning at 6175 RPM. I know those are resource heavy tasks but I've never had that before.
I installed smcFan to monitor my fans and the degrees (C°) goes from 49° to 91° when I open Minecraft. Early 2011 MacBook 15" on Lion 10.7.3

View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Fans Going At Extremely High Speed
Aug 22, 2009I have a late 2007 macbook pro and recently the fans have been going at extremely high speeds without the MBP being hot at all. I have SMCFanControl and iStat Pro and both of them said my MBP's temperature was around 55C though the fans were going between 4000 and 6000 RPM, I also checked the activity monitor for high CPU usage but nothing high there. I turned my MBP off for 5 minutes with a fan blowing on it just incase it was hot but when I turned it back on the fans immediately jumped back up to 6000 RPM. They're back to normal now but I assume it will happen again. Anyone know what's wrong?
