Fan running contineously

If you are facing a contineously running fan in your notebook then i suggest you use a software like speedfan and check if your system is running hot ?

Generally fan turns on when system cross a certain temperature limit, so that it can cool it but if its running contineously then either your system is contineously running hot or your bios is set to run fan contineously.

Most of the bios setup has a fan control option and you can check if fan is setup to run contineously in there.
