I have a fan problem with my comptuer. I sent my computer back to Sony. They replaced the fan, and the problem has become worse. I have tried Notebook review, Desktop review, craigslist forums, bleeping computer, and DSL Reports.
Before I take my computer back to Sony, I wanted to try as many online message boards.

Here is the issue:
Sony Vaio Desktop
E5400 dual core processor
The fans on my desktop are loud and running at a high RPM for seemingly no reason.
Here is the history of the problem.
Initially, when I booted the computer, the fan RPMs were at about 2200 RPM. After about 3 hours the RPM became loud at 3,800 but the temperature of the cores remain at 36 and 38.
I don't do anything that taxes the processor. Just surfing the internet and using Microsoft Word
.
I sent my computer back to Sony
. They replaced the fan. The problem has become worse.
Now within an hour the RPMs are up to about 3,800.
Someone suggested changing the settings of Smart Fan in the BIOS. Does anyone know how to do this? When i go into the BIOS there are no options to change any fan settings. It shows an RPM for the two fans. They are both at around 2,200.
I downloaded SpeedFan, but when I click on "Configure" and "Fans" there are no fans listed. Does that mean my computer is not compatable with SpeedFan?
I am using HWMonitor to obtain the fan readings.
In Windows, 7, I am using the "Balanced" power plan.
