Toshiba laptop fan.

Hi,
I have a toshiba laptop and im just wondering if it is normal for the fan to be running nearly constantly.?
It starts as soon as soon as i boot up my computer.
Regards.

You can check in the BIOS to see if there are any speed changes that can be made.

ive recently updated the BIOS and that hasnt done anything.are toshiba laptop fans supposed to be running like this?

Look in the BIOS, threw all the settings, there might be a place to change the fan speeds. Yes...laptops are designed to have the fans running almost all the time. Thats because of the confined space that all the hardware has to be installed in, which makes it really hot in that space.

I even bought my nephew a fan stand to help cool his more; basically its a little metal stand with 2 fans blowing up onto the bottom of the laptop. I also warned him about never using his laptop on the bed without the stand because blankets, etc can snuggle into the air holes and the laptop can overheat. Overheated components can kill your computer.
