K215S FAN IS ALWAYS RUNNING

I bought my vaio just two days ago.
Since the beginning I have had this problem.
Fan run almost every minute. Even when I am surfing on internet.
Actually, I do not know if this is a problem or not.
How often Should the fan run ?

On most systems the fan runs constantly. The fan speed will normally increase when the system is under load. I don't think you have a problem.

If the fan stops long enough for you to actually notice the silence then start looking for somewhere to give mouth to........whatever. It's normal as the guys say.

LOL

I remember on my desktop one of the fans stopped, so I had to turn it by hand until I saved and switched off.

Kee-Lo: OMG that is crap!

Sorry to be repetitive TT

There is a setting in Power Options, Control Panel, VAIO Power Management, for Thermal Control - Performance mode = fan speed is faster and more noticeable, Quiet Mode = fan on but spinning silently or quietly.
