MBP Santa Rosa 15" 2.6Ghz Fans run out of control

[tchounkovskii]

My MBP's fans just won't stop spinning when I run Aperture or any other image editing software. Sometimes they start spinning if I have Safari open with 3 or 4 tabs. It's ridiculous. When I bought it, it wasn't doing this. So now I don't know what to do. I could go to the Apple Store but it's a drive. Was wondering whether anyone else is having similar issues. I know that this is a long and drawn out question/topic but it bother's me that Apple would make this "bad ass MBP 2.6 CUSTOM made" laptop run so crappy.

By the way, when the fans spin out of control, this also makes my computer run suuuuper slow. Everything just lags like crazy.

Any thoughts?

try resetting the SMC by taking the battery out and holding the power button down for 5 seconds. Also might want to "zappram" by holding "option" + "command" + "P" + "R" (let go after the system bongs a second time). See if that helps any.

I did that and I also reset the SMC, but no luck so far.

You might also try clearing/resetting NVRAM. (LINK)

isn't it the same thing as resetting PRAM? CMD+OPTION+P+R?
