high cpu when mac sleeps

Hi,


in general my MacBook Pro works very well.


But sometimes when my mac sleeps or when I leave the mac awaken on the table the ventilator turns on. The Ventilator gets very loud - I guess cause of a high CPU usage. But the Activity Monitor doesn´t show a high CPU usage.


What might be the problem?


Thankful for any help.


Sincerly,

Lauritz
