Q: Fan out of control

Over the past few months I have noticed my fan for my MacBook Air is running constantly. Along with this I have observed my power drain quickly (50% in 30-60 minutes when not plugged in) and computer base gets very hot. This occurs even with no programs running and nothing open in the background. Doesn't matter if the computer is plugged in or running without a cord. The only support I find on Apples site is to run the hardware diagnostics, which I have never been able to run to completion despite many attempts and much patience (this is a separate issue I assume) so this is of no help. Need help with my fan before my computer catches fire. Thanks for your help.

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
