When I reboot my PC, everything is fine. When I'm not running Apps
the fan only seems to run at full speed only when it needs to,
returning to idle within a number of seconds.
However, later on in the day the fan runs at full belt continuously.
When I check in Task Manager the CPU percentage is shared 50-50
between System &
System Idle Process. After another re-boot and check it goes back to
98-99 System Idle Process when nothing is running.
I can't pin point it down to a particular App causing it, so would
appreciate a bit of advice!
It sounds like your system is getting quite hot and the fans are trying
to keep up. Turn your computer off, unplug it, and open the case. Clean
out any dust bunnies and dirt with compressed air. Don't forget to
remove the front bezel and clean there too if it is a design that has
vents up front.
Once you have the computer nice and clean, plug it in and turn it on
but don't close it up. Observe all the fans, including the one on your
video card if it has one. As you use the computer, carefully feel how
hot the interior is getting. Don't touch any of the components. If it
is still getting too hot, then you may want to replace and/or add some
fans.

Nice try Malke, but that doesn't answer at all why System usage has
increased to 50% of processor time from earlier in the day, now does it?
Why is it that a reboot seems to fix things? Why is it that an
"operating system" like Windoze even require so many reboots to
straighten it out when it goes wanky? Please don't blame dust bunnies.
That's just silly.
Nice try NoStop. On many systems a reboot causes all fans to spin up at
full speed and then slow down (as the OP described) until thermal
conditions require more cooling. If any link in the cooling chain is
comprimised by factors including dust bunnies or fans not working up to
par then overheating can result as the system warms up. As Malke
suggested, it's likley a hardware issue. Hardware, NoStop, nothing to do
with "Windoze" as you call it. Now be a good boy and go do your computer
hardware homework. While you're at it you might want to bone up on your
reading comprehension skills.

So dust bunnies push up the CPU usage to 50%. I think I know who needs to
understand a little more about hardware.
I've been working with and on computer hardware (at the component level
and all the way on up to what you see on your screen) for over
twenty-five years. I don't think, I _know_ who needs to understand a
little more about hardware and it ain't me.

Steve old man, I've been at it as long as you have, so don't think you can
skirt the issue with this b.s. You didn't answer my question, which speaks
volumes when you respond with this "senority" bullshit.
