The fan is running constantly because the computer is overheating. Disconnect power from the computer and remove the side panel. Use a can of compressed air to remove all dust from the computer. When cleaning the fans do not allow the air to spin the fan or you can damage it. Hold the fan blades in place with a pencil or pen. After blowing all air from the processor heat sink, fans, inlets, & outlets, the computer fans should not run as much. After you clean it out connect the power cord and start the computer up. Look to make sure all fans are running. If not you may have a defective fan.

∙ 13y agoSome machines have bad cooling systems that overheat. The fans are used to cool down the system to prevent it from damaging itself, or even igniting. Applications that demand high performance (Final Cut, World of Warcraft, browsing videos on YouTube) will cause the processor and hard drive to work more, causing the machine to heat up, and then it needs to cool down, using fans or an alternative way to cool down.

∙ 11y agoBecause it's removing the heat build up of the microchips inside. The fan should always be running - at times when an extra cooling 'boost' is needed - the fan will speed up - then go back to a 'working' state.

How do you stop a computer from overheating My computer has 3 fans a chasis fan a power suply fan and a power fan i cannot do simple tasks and the computer overheats and shuts down please help?
you must only use your computer for only 3-4 hours so that you can prevent over heating You could if you know anything about the components of computers clean all the fans of dust and dirt with a hoover, but be as gentle as possible. this should be done at least once a year. and if you have more than one fan attached to a computer insted of the fan bolwing out hot air it then changes to a vacume taking in the heat making it overheat faster
