The fans are triggered for heat, whether ambient or that produced by computing activities or both.


CPU and GPU usage produces heat, and everything drawing power produces heat, too.


Fans can also have to work harder when the fans and cooling system are plugged with dust, too.


If your fan is making a noise such as a metallic grinding or failing-bearing noise, the fan might failing.


Have backups of your data; current and complete. These backups are your data-recovery path.
