Are the fan in lap top supposed to run always?

it's better to have a laptop fan for your laptop and it must be running while you are still using it so that the insides of your laptop be prevented from heating so fast. it's just like a desktop that has it's own fan for the power supply to avoid burning, it's also good to do computer works in a cold place.

There might be problem in board of your laptop.Speed of fan should be varied according to heat generated by your laptop. It is stopped intermittently means in between it is not gettig power.Thre may be any component faulty on your board which is not working properly.Actual reason cannot find out by just description, it should be checked personally to know exact reason. So just go to repair shop and get it checked. It can be repairable if your region has good technician.YOu should get it done as soon as possible otherwise you would face a big technical problem in your laptop. Have a nice time. Cheers Ranvir

Well it is supposed to run always as to lower down the laptop temperature yea .

This happened with my friend's laptop. I think that the fan is constantly spinning but when things start heating up a little then the speed of the fan increases in order to cool the inside of the laptop down and this is probably what you can hear. I know for sure that desktop fans have to run continuously. It may be slight different for laptop fans, sorry not much help. I don't think you have any problems though. Andrew

i think most of the time while your laptop is running your fan must run so that it can just make the processor of your laptop cool. i will also recommend you not to manipulate directly or indirectly the functioning of the fan in your system . it is a very need equipment which make your laptop cool and long running

hello nice to meet you, my opinion about laptop fan is this hardware is very useful to make our laptop not over heat, but you not running your lap top continuously, so you should not turn on your fan, because base on my experience if you use laptop for about 2-3 hours do not use fan it will make noisy sound like "ngiiiinnnnng" it will disturb you. any way your laptop always burning it make you disable to work, i handle this problem by using desk fan, i am not lying, it really works, i place my desk fan near my laptop, the fan should directed at ventilation of your laptop, so it will make a better air circulation, i hope my suggestion can help you, sorry for my bad english

I bave been using a laptop for a long time and I notice this is well. At first I think something might be going wrong but my fears are more perceived than real. Fans are not designed to run continuously, they dissipate heat as soon as it reaches a tolerable level. It is normal to feel the heat especially in high end laptops with advanced systems. We might think that they are getting too hot when in fact the heat in withing acceptable level. During hot weather, the heat emitted is intensified and we should see to it that air vents are not blocked, that is dangerous for the laptop. But if what you mean by burning is actually burning, then definitely it's time for you to go to a service center. enjoy

Depending on the airflow your computer gets to cool itself down,it will run the fan to expel what excess heat there is inside the casing..Do you sit with the computer actually on your lap,or do you sit at a desk while Using it? As you could imagine (and probably feel while using it!) the computer warms up on your legs,as you're partly blocking some air vents,thus reducing airflow and causing the fans to work more..keep Your computer dust free,and try and work in an airy place with some airflow to help..good Luck!

Hello there! I think you need to set up the fan settings in bios mode. And if the problem persist bring it to the expert, your laptop blower has problem and maybe you need to replace it. The fan inside your laptop is for the cooling of your processor it needs to run continuously to prevent burnout. I had a the same problem with my laptop, I made my own laptop cooler powered by an external power supply I think this is more powerful than the usb one. But I think it need some replacement. I hope I can I help you with this info. God Bless!

Sounds like it is over heating and constantly haveing cool itself off. This is not a good sign. Do you have a lot of papers and debri around it. If some that might be contributing to the problem, humidity can do that too. I would call customer service and see what they suggest for you too do. Sometimes it is harmless but if it is doing it all the time that can not be good.

Wow I have a similar problem with the overheating part .I run my laptop all the time and I think I can always hear the run running but there are times when I hear the fan running extremely hard .I think it should run continuously especially if it is working all the time because electronic components deliver a lot o fheat when working

Hello, Wordlinx! Well, maybe there is a problem on its fan because it must run at least on low speed when you use your laptop and it runs in high speed when you do things that can make the processor heat up faster such as games. You can go to a technician for a repair or replacement of the fan. You can also try staying on an air conditioned room when using your laptop. That was a similar thing done to a desktop when its fan was removed. Have a nice day!

Hope to have it right. In your bios, there one feature there that monitors the temperature of your CPU's. Its the same in principle as the thermocouple on our air conditioners and refrigerators. When it senses that your CPU is on its critical level, the fan starts to blow and then automatically stops at certain temperature. Same with out air conditioner, when the thermocouple senses that the room temperature is dropping below its settings, the compressor begins to pump and cools the surroundings. Same happens to our refrigerators. So automatic start and stop of our fan is just a way of controlling the temperature of our CPU's not to overheat or damage the critical parts inside it.

Excessive heat on your laptop will shorten the life of your battery if not fry your board so you should have your laptop check by an authorized technician immediately before a more severe problem comes out,using a laptop cooler is your best solution for the mean time but I think is not enough to cool down excessive heat.

Hi wordlinx well fans are not supposed to run at full speed always, you hear the fan mostly when they are running high and they only run faster when the laptop gets heated, happens also with mine, good for you though, coz you are using a laptop cooler, i think even i should get one... check your vents for any kind of blockage, these aren't good for the laptop in any way... i guess the computer gets heated more when you happen to do more multi-tasking and playing games, well playing games certainly is going to make your fan buzz high and getting heated... yeah but check for this, when your fan isn't running fast your laptop should not be heated, coz fan only runs fast when your computer is getting heated, if your laptop is getting hot and you can't hear the fan then you could be having a problem... have a nice day wordlinx!
