Were you running FanControl or any other application to spin the fans up and keep your MacBook cool? Many of those applications run on the desktops too, causing their fans to spin up.

Yes, I had run some fan utility on my wife's macbook. We had a bad fan and i had to replace that fan with new one. You think that might have caused that? if thats is the case how do i remove it.

Thank you

You should get iStat or something like it to see what's going on. And check Activity Monitor and your login items to see if you started something that manually sets fan speed. I don't think something migrated from a user account would set that in motion, but ya never know.

It might be just the machine working hard to update the spotlight index.

I don't know what causing this. I had tried to do pram, SMC all kinds of stuff. Activity monitor doesn't show any unusual process.
