• SL500 - cooling fan stops

  Hello

  I just bought my sl500. I am generally satisfied.

  However, there is one thing that worries me.

  The CPU cooling fan never stops.

  I updated the bios to the latest version 1.25, but the fan still works constantly.

  My sl500 listing:

  Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 2.00 GHz 64-bit

  GPU - Nvidia Geforce G 105M

  RAM - 4 GB

  I would like to know if this is normal behavior for this model or something's not going and I need to restore my laptop to the seller under the terms of the warranty.

  Concerning

  Bart

  suggest your radiator is clogged by dust or something, you should get the warranty Department to solve the problem.

• Please help me choose - SL500 vs N500

  I'm new here, so sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

  For some time now, I was looking for a new laptop - after having seen that the last budget priced at Lenovos, I fell in love with them instantly.

  The thing is I'm tired of crappy laptops - I had an Acer and a HP Pavilion and they were building a little quality at low cost; plastics have been cracking, hinges etc. of braking. I need a laptop that can accompany me anywhere (since I travel a lot) and be as reliable as possible. I don't need the laptop as a fashion statement, I also care thereon weight (I'm a big guy) - it might look like a coffin for all, I'm worried. Don't get me wrong - I take care of my electronics, I brought my laptop in case of double protection, formatted them twice a year, and they have managed to break and crack over time. My current HP dv5111eu is at his last breath after that only 2 1/2 years of use - overheating, the constant fan noise, distorted view, cracks in the case.

  So my question is - we should I buy, SL500 or N500? I will post just the specifications of specific laptops I had my eyes on, but I'm really worried about the arguably better in the SL500 processor, since only one workload that they would face is a navigation/Word/Excel/Winamp/VLC web player.

  • SL500 Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T5870, 2 GHz, 2MB, 3072 MB, 250 GB, screen 15.4 ", DVD +/-RW, BACK, 2.9 kg
  • N500 Pentium Dual - Core T3400, 2.16 GHz, 1 MB, 3072 MB, 250 GB, screen 15.4 ", DVD +/-RW, BACK, 2.75 kg

  Based on their quality and stability of construction equipment, including one of these two laptops would be the most durable and reliable and would still be nice after 3 or 4 years of using (theoretically speaking) work?

  Thanks again for your insight! Ended up buying a Lenovo R400, I read that they are more durable than the SL series. It's my first laptop of Lenovo/IBM, and so far, the experience has been nothing else as it is beautiful - very robust portable well built with an extraordinary range of useful features!

• problem of fan with sierra?

  Hello

  Everyone knows their MacBook Pro fans go into overdrive without provocation since the upgrade to Sierra?

  I don't have that mail and Safari open (to make this post) and fans are whirring away as I use a 3D graphics heavy program.

  The room is cool and the MacBook is raised on blocks to facilitate the movement of air, but its always acting like there is more of the work in progress.

  It doesn't seem fair.

• 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!

• App, networking, process cloud runaways; Very slow to connect to servers, high fan

  I have the same problem on two different computers. A new installation (of Sierra of MacOS) (with costs users, no restored settings, preferences, etc.) fixed, but not the other. (Past the wire: all Web apps suddenly slow; fan high speed).

  On the computer that still does not, have the following processes often rampant and prevents the computer access to the servers to load pages, apps, etc..

  • trustd
  • Mail
  • messaging networks
  • Safari
  • Networking of Safari
  • storeaccountd
  • AKD
  • accountsd
  • nsurlstoraged
  • nsurlsessiond
  • syncdefsultsd
  • cloudd
  • com.apple.CommerceKit.transactionservice

  Obviously the issue transcends the user the user and settings (because it affects the settings and new users).

  So I guess that it is a problem with iCloud? A question of trousseau (iCloud)? How to fix this?

  I am VERY interested in any orientation.

  I just tried these steps recommended for new users of macOS with wifi problems: http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/22/fix-wi-fi-problems-macos-sierra/

  The problem persists.

• The operation of the fan of excessive causing Sierra

  After the installation of Sierra 10.12 the fan on one of my MacBook pro is running excessively. Activity monitor shows a process 'DCs' as a means of 93% of the CPU.  Tried to use force quit and it comes right off.  On my other MacBook, the activity monitor shows the 'DCs' as 0% CPU and there is no problem of fan.

  This process is linked to the keychain.  You have the ring of the value be synchronized via iCloud in the system/iCloud preferences window? If so, uncheck, restart and check the DCs again process in activity monitor.

  If the activity has returned to zero, activate it again (if you want to sync on devices) and check again the activity monitor.

  

• Fan MacBook Air updated according to Sierra

• The fan runs all the time because xinetd running more than 80% all the time.  Someone else has the same problem?

  xinetd is running at 83% or more 24 x 7 devours battery in 2 hours or less and making the fan run all the time.  I am connected to a bug report, and it turns out that it was a duplicate because someone else had the same problem.  However, I have no access to the other bug report or find anything either in the discussion forums or online.  Anyone experience this problem?

  Hello gorgonzola1111,

  I doubt that someone else has this problem because xinetd does not part of macOS. Have you installed it from a package of "ports" 3rd party?

• 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.

• The fan works like a crazy and super fast drain battery after installation of Sierra

  I installed Sierra on my MacBook Pro, the fan works like crazy and the battery is empty after about 1.5 hours. Which never happened before. I'm only using Safari and Mail in the moment. I talked to Apple Support and they suggested to reset the SMC, but this brought no improvements. What can I do else? Again, I plan to install the El captain...

  I had this problem just after I installed Sierra on my MacBook Air.  First I tried to reset the SMC and the LANDAU.  This does not prevent fans constantly in the course of execution.  I then used the activity monitor to see what was possibly strain my system.  I noticed the "DCs" process was always sucking up to more than 90% of my CPU usage.  However, others said that it is normal after an upgrade of the OS and it should fall back down once the computer finishes its initial picture and analysis of the files.  So I run my MBA plugged nonstop for 36 hours in a row and the fans just kept running so that the process of "DCs" continued to drain at > 90% of CPU usage.  I also looked carefully at the activity monitor and saw that tasks such as analysis of photos had their own separate process "DCs".  So I dug further into what the devil "DCs" was really do with a lot of CPU resources.  Long story short, I found that there is some glitch in Sierra which causes the macOS stuck on a process involving the keychain and iCloud.

  That's what I did to fix this keychain/iCloud which led to "DCs" fans of triggering and overloading the CPU to be always on:

  -In the activity monitor, I used Force Quit to kill the process that involved the keychain

  -In the activity monitor, I then Force Quit the process that involved icloud

  -In activity monitor, I finally Force closed the process "DCs". (I found that I could not simply force quit 'DCs' without first allowing the keychain & iCloud first)

  -After all, I restarted the computer and fans were finally off the coast!  I open the activity monitor and saw that 'DCs' has is no longer hogging up the CPU usage.  Photoanalysis process were still running in the background at 40-50% CPU use with no trigger unwanted system fans.  the iCloud synchronization and my keychain also worked very well.

  I'm finally able to use Sierra without my fans blazing out of control.  It took me a while to get this sorted out.  Hope this helps to save you a few headaches and time until Apple can get counts that there is this Sierra software glitch they need to address.

• Fan works like crazy and the battery drains quickly after the installation of Sierra on MacBook Pro

• 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?

• Fan number after updating to Mac OS Sierra

  Hello people, as many of you all know, Apple released macOS Sierra. The updating of this new operating system, I have been met through rather annoying problem for me. It seems that my fan is not eager to be quiet as it has been in the previous operating system. The computer is usually warmer than its normal temperature. At first I thought it was a software problem during the upgrade. I came back to El Capitan, the computer runs cool. Fresh installed copay of Sierra and the computer becomes extremely hot and fan running constantly at high SPEED. It's quite strange to me, so I was wondering if someone else running Sierra also have this problem. I have little friends of mine Sierra both running on their MacBook Air machines, but they have the same problem. Any help or suggestion? Thank you

  Hi SC909,

  It seems that your computer is running more hot than usual, and as such, the fan is at the top all the time. I would say that resetting the SMC on your computer:
