Basically I leave my computer while I am at work, for reason that I was working on something and did not have time to turn it off. InDesign is creating a PDF so I leave it running while at work or just downloading something. For whatever reason my computer is left on for 6-7 hours. The problem is once in a while (very random) the fans in the computer go nuts full blast, smc Fan Control shows 600rpm which the sounds does not match the number. I just turn off the computer and restart it to reset the fans (restarting does not work).

My question is what causes the fans to go nuts randomly? My MP is on top of my desk, plenty of air flow, clean the inside of dust, and 1-2 programs will be running during the times its left one for long periods.

Thank you
