    the fan on my laptop runs constantly. I've used compressed air to clean it out and updated the BIOS. after updating the BIOS the fan doesn't come on now until about 10 minutes after the machine is turned on.

    any suggestions for fixing this? i read that you can control the fan through BIOS but couldn't see any option for it there. thanks.

    The fan only comes on when the cpu reaches a certain temperature. Its possible the thermal paste between the processor and the heatsink has dried out a small bit leading to less thermal efficiency and thus the fan being on for longer periods.
    If you know someone techie they could be able to reapply some thermal grease if the processor is easily accesible.
    The only thing you could do in the bios is increase the RPM of the fan or lower the temperature limit before the fan comes on.
