Fan always working and slowly performance

Suddenly, my Macbook Air has started to work slowly, and the fans are always working. I have reset the PRAM and SMC but the problem persist.

Can you help me?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

The fan is always working. It is a question how fast for the given set of circumstances. If your MBA is getting hot, download from the Internet iStat menus:

Set Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and CPU to display values from high to low. When the MBA is hot, open both and you should be able to identify the heat causing culprits.


Also it may help if you ran the Apple Hardware Test which may provide a clue:

Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.


Ciao.
