I just opened my macbook for the first time in a week and the fans started goin crazy. The system is so slow. I tjink that my macbook thinks that it is overheating and makes the system slow and makes the fans go really fast so that it would cool down. But the mac is not hot at all. I have no idea what to do. I do not know how to check if there is something wrong with my mac, can someone help out?
Do you have "Automatically keep my Mac up to date" ... (?)

If you have not booted for a while, your Mac could be reaching back to Apple Server to update and this can ramp up processing for no apparent reason.
Is this an on going issue, you need to be more specific.
Besides your everyday application software updating—
Apple uses its Software Update service (which also drives system software updates that show in the App Store or via the softwareupdate command-line tool) as a mechanism for installing “background and critical” updates that are installed silently in the background with no notifications to the user.
