iMac 27 "mid-2011 - Intermittent problem with CPU fan running at full speed and sleep mode.

Hello!

My iMac 27 "has an intermittent problem with the CPU fan runs at full speed. Sometimes it happens at the time when I start it, sometimes only in my session, and sometimes only after a certain time. So does seem to be a problem of "heating".

Second issue is with the mode 'sleep'. It may occur also at any time, at the start of the iMac, session, or after a certain time. But once he starts to go in mode 'sleep', when I wake up, it goes right back in mode after a few seconds and that it will continue indefinitely until I restart the computer.

What could be?

Please help me!

    If you overclocked?  If so, cancel that.  If the games you play are poorly written, it is not that you can do about it.  If you have not cleaned the dust and lint from your computer within a certain time, you should do that because it accumulates and causes overheating.  For desktop computers, remove the cover and carefully use compressed gas to blow off the dust, especially around the fins in the processor heat sink and air ducts.  For a laptop, I'll ring gas compressed through the ventilation openings.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite M30X-129: CPU fan runs constantly after new XP Pro re - install

    I just installed a new Samsung 120 GB drive in my M30X-129, an upgrade of the 60 GB IBM drive with what it was originally provided.

    Tried ghost XP Home installation of the old drive to the new - but it didn't work for some reason, installation, attached to a page with the "Windows XP" logo on it...

    So, I installed XP Pro with SP2 from scratch on the new drive.

    After having done that, I then installed the Toshiba and utils drivers listed for your laptop:

    NES http://UK.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 555

    The problem I have is that the fan runs at full speed all the time - this isn't the case with the old installation of XP (was rare for it to come on at all when slowed down in the office - running full bore 100% of the time)

    Research by and try a few suggestions:

    -J' installed the common Utils from Toshiba
    -J' installed the Toshieba power management - and set the fan speed to ' Silent' has ', but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

    Any suggestions? for example. where I get the latest versions of the applications?

    The noise of the fan slowly leads me to the top of the wall...

    Ben.

    Hello Ben

    If you have installed your own OS and Toshiba designed drivers, tools and utilities, I assume that this problem cannot be software. I'm really not 100% sure why the fan always runs at full speed but Satellite M30X is around 2 years and I guess it's time to clean up. The second thing can be your new HARD drive.
    It is also possible that new HARD drive produce more heat and sensors to register it and don t stop the cooling fan.

    I recommend you to professionally cleaned the unit and remove any dust inside the unit. I'm pretty sure that cooling fan does not work at all times.

    Also try to put the laptop into a slightly higher position (if possible at the back) and on this brand more interspace between the bureau and the cooling grill fan in the lower corner of your laptop.

  • iMac 27 "mid-2011 hard drive failed, fan to full after the removal of HARD drive

    iMac (27 inch, mid 2011)

    2.7 Ghz i5

    12 GB of RAM

    I have a fault where the HARD drive fan runs at max speed (RPM 5431, 51 * C temp).

    The first symptom was a rattling noise from the factory 1 TB HARD drive, which has disappeared from the system, to be replaced by a disk of 4 GB in size. Then the fan started running at max speed.

    A few months ago, I installed a 2nd drive HARD, an SSD and use this to all the data, so the 1 TB drive HARD original was basically unused and empty. To try and stop the fan and also run the disk diagnostics failed I've removed it from the iMac. However the HARD drive fan is always full.

    I ran the Apple Hardware Test and received the error message: 4SNS/1/40000000: TH00 - 9,000

    Given the primary SATA HDD is now removed, I also set the temperature probe? Are there other fixes to this problem of fan? I didn't intend on replacing the HARD disk immediately that this is not necessary at this stage.

    Thank you!

  • Problem with El Captain (5.1.7 server) and the management of permissions

    Hello world

    I have a big problem with our Mac Mini Server (El Captain) and the server program.

    In recent weeks, the server didn't give the permissions of a folder.

    for example:

    Mr. X had permission to read and write to a folder.
    Mr Y too.

    Mr. X has create a new folder one record something in it.

    Mr Y had the permission to read or write to the folder create Mr. x. But he should have.

    Or

    Mr. X has save a file to a folder

    When he opens it again it is write protected and cannot be replaced.

    So you have to save under a different name in the same folder.

    And every time he save/close the file.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Greetings from the Germany

    Chris

    My guess:

    A few weeks ago someone messed with the permissions on your server and made a mistake. So, you got an inappropriate list ACL (Access Control), which is rampant in the file and must be removed or fixed.
