    You may need a chill mat. It is maybe working hard to keep cool. You can find them at any office supply store. Mine does that occasionally too even with the chill mat. Sometimes if it is hot out or the room you are in is hot the computer is working overtime to keep cool. Don't forget the chill mat.

    Probably overheating. Clean fan vents and any other vents on computer so it will stay cool w/o fan comming on all the time.

    Also fan bearings could be going bad.
