Acers Aspire 5720 fan noise or fan is always on
I bought this PC new about 6 months ago, I've already returned it once as it
was not charging and they replaced some AC connector or something. I've noticed that the fan seems to be almost on continuously even if the machine is not under load, say just typing a mail as I'm doing now when it's been started up from cold (i.a. not been in use for hours). CPU usage is sitting a about 1 - 4 % and I don't have any disk activity or network traffic. I noticed that if I'm say on the BBC News web site and watching a video clip, the cup usage will jump to 100% and the video becomes unwatchable with jerky video performance and the sound is broken up. I noticed the same if I try to play videos or sound from the local co drive, it's unusable if I try to network stream anything. I have called Acer and they've given me a ticket to return it on possibly for a repair but I just wanted to know if anyone had a solution or experienced similar issues. Thanks in advance.. |

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 |

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. "Gator" wrote in message ... If you have Notebook Manager click on it and go to Boot Options..

Nope. Intel chipset.
