Hi Guys,
I restored my m14x to factory image and now the fan kicks in, to the MAX, repeatedly , while just browsing or any minor tasks . Its driving me crazy. It didnt do this before.
Any fix on this?
I searched on the forums and couldnt find anything.
all help is appreciated.

What temperatures are you getting? Have you checked the running processes list for a process that's eating up CPU? Maybe the disk is being indexed by Windows.

Ok...
So not even a month has passed ... and tech support said they have to replace my CPU + heat sink + fan, GPU, and speakers.
wow...good thing I got warranty on my laptop. -
Check for background processes, the realtek software was taking up at least 25 percent of my cpu usage, which made the fans constantly turn on, i just unchecked realtek in the msconfig start up menu. No difference in sound and no noise, you can try that.
