Default Acers Aspire 5720 fan noise or fan is always on

If you have an Nvidia graphic chipset, they have been having huge numbers of
failures. Recent updates to the bios on these machines have turned the fan
up all the time in an effort to keep them from failing before the warranty
expires. The manufactures have been cooperating with Nvidia in trying to
keep this quiet, but it has leaked out, and the size of the problem is huge.
Don't waste time, get your unit back in for repair while you can. Undoing
the effect of the update will only shorten the chip life and you could be
left holding the bill for the repair. Good luck. Maybe you don't have that
chipset in your system and the problem is something else.

If you have Notebook Manager click on it and go to
Boot Options.. Then you should see a box which
enables you to turn the fan on continuously or leave
it to computer's system.. Luck
