VGN-BX197XP fan keeps working ...

Hi there!

i own a VGN-BX197XP vaio and i have the following problem.
My fan seems to be working for 4-5 seconds then stops for a second and then starts again. And guess what? that job never stops making an annoying silent noise. Do i have a problem?
Is it usual for my model? Is there a way to overcome my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Go to the icon in the bottom right hand corner, that is the power properties shortcut Right click on it.. In the properties dialogue box on the left side select 'adaptive' from 'performance' for the cpu management and check it occassionally to make sure it doesn't reset to default

thanks for your answer,

But I am not sure i understood exactly what you told me. My selection in the plugged in meny was adaptive. you suggested me to change it to performance? Is my vaio problematic or is it usual for that model in adaptive mode to have its fun working all the time? I even tried the battery mode and the fun kept working with larger breaks(10 sec) this time. Thanks again.

Apparently the fan does go on and off often on the BX

thanks Kee-Lo

i was afraid i would hear that one day. I'll run it in battery mode then (i find it annoying all the time).
