S2: fan runs fast and stops and runs quickly and stops

• Fans of fast and slow mail after upgrade of Sierra

  So I too just upgraded to Sierra, and I have two problems.  The first I noticed almost immediately after a reboot is something is causing fans to run almost non-stop.  I looked at the level of the console and I see that several root applications use more than 100% of the time CPU.  What the hell is happening here?

  Second, Mail has now slowed down to the point that it is almost unusable.  I click on an email and it will literally be anywhere from 15 to 20 seconds for the mail to open.  Not a complex HTML with email of old thing plain video simple.  What the hell is happening here?  It's maddening.

• Fan too fast and noisey

  The fan on my machine started working overtime and is quite noisey - suggestions how to solve this problem?

  Clean inside to remove all dust, pet hair, lint, etc., of all the fans, vents, radiators, etc.

  If the machine is new (ish) and didn't need cleaning, then check in the Task Manager and see what is using all resources of the processor. It could be anything from an update running in background to something as nasty as a virus.

• Battery Tecra M11-130 with not power and the fan runs constantly

  We are having a problem with the battery on one of our laptops. When left for an hour or two the laptop turns off because the battery is dead. We have mounted a battery new but still only get about 1.5 hours.
  In addition, the fan runs continuously. I looked at the PC Healthcheck software which shows as follows:
  * Power *.
  Other costs 14%
  40% of energy consumption system
  Good battery
  * Temperature and fan *.
  CPU temperature 67%
  System internal temperature 56%
  88% fan speed

  I would like suggestions.

  > We have mounted a battery new but still only get about 1.5 hours.

  1.5 hours is a common value, you should consider that dough working time depends on its portable use.

  Battery needed to dump a lot faster if the CPU would be stressed out a lot in your case, that something could run in the background, lose power CPU performance and the dough.

  In addition, you said that the fan runs constantly this could discharge the battery too.
  Therefore, it would be interesting to know what process emphasizes the central unit.

  Start the Task Manager and check the processes tab. In the CPU column, you can find the process that emphasizes the central unit.

  In addition, to change the settings for the CPU performance and cooling of the activities in the options of Win 7 powers that would help to increase the performance of the battery.

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.

• Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c is suspended and the fan runs at full

  Hi people,

  I am experiancing a problem with my Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c where close unexpectedly, it crashes and the fan runs at full speed. Discount to zero is my only option and this resulted in the windows having to retrieve a few times so I'm fearing one requiring a major reconstruction after a deadlock of the future. Until now this issue has occurred only when you use a wireless USB mobile of 3G or internet teathering via USB with my iphone 3G. Using another USB port did not help.

  If someone has encountered this problem and have a fix? No help from Toshiba?

  Best regards

  Hmmmm... What to say. Problem is that you use third party hardware and software and some conflicts are possible. The question is: who can help you with this?
  In general you should talk to your ISP provider at first to see what they will say about all this.

  Have you ever talked with them?

  Just bought PC toshiba A500-025.

  When I put in some disc in the optical drive, it runs very fast and makes the phone vibrates.

  I think you mean the acoustic silencer
  As I remember, such tool was available for some laptops with pre-installed Win XP or Vista.
  For example; the acoustic silencer was available for some of the Satellite A200 and you could download this on the European driver Toshiba page.

• I have 4 GB of RAM, but when my i play any game, my CPU fan runs at high speed and my system gets shut down within minutes.

  I have 4 GB of RAM, but when my i play any game for example NFS most wanted, my CPU fan runs at high speed and my system gets shut down within minutes. Help me solve this problem

  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.

• Fan runs almost always since the installation of Sierra and MacBook Air running Mac OS.

  Hello

  Since upgrading to Mac OS Sierra last night on my MacBook Air (2013, i7, 8gbRAM), fans work almost always, even when I use Safari.  Previously, the fans would go only when I was playing a game, or video edition.  The basis of my Macbook Air is also much more hot he was under El Capitan - once again, just when you use Safari.  As a result, my battery life is horrible - dropped from 100% to 23% in a little over an hour.  Once again, under El Capitan, if I was just using internet, use of an hour would see the maximum of 10 to 15% of decline in battery.

  I turned off my Macbook Air and it turned on again after fifteen minutes, but in 10-15 minutes, fans revived upward and the base (and the top of the keyboard) heated again.  No uncomfortable levels, but certainly noticeable levels.

  Just to remind - I use Safari only when this happens.  Moreover, since the beginning of this question five minutes ago, the % of battery has dropped from 29 percent to 22 percent and the fans are still whirring like the dickens.

  No idea why this is happening?

  Hello, take a look at this maybe of http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac/fix-overheating-macbook-3592266/ article it will help.
