    Does the fan run immediately a desktop starts. Something in mine usually runs for a few seconds but now is staying on all the time and is very loud. Is there any way to turn it off. PC is not hot - any air from tower is cool but the bios says the cpu fan is 106 c.

    Speed fan said it was around 36

    Bios says CPU fan speed is 2912 rpm

    Mostlikely the heatsink has come loose from the cpu - remove it, replace thermal paste and make sure she's good and tight ;)

    Don't think so would it not be on all the time? This is intermittent, OK today and yesterday but not at weekend
