Q: Why is my Mac hot and noisy?
I was using my 15-inch MacBook Pro Verion 10.10.5 Yosemite normally until two days ago when it suddenly became very hot and noisy (the fan blew very rapidly). It was like that when I turned it on and I don't know why.
FYI;
- I don't have a lot of data on my Mac (150GB out of 1000GB, it mainly consists of apps, some photos and MP3 files and a few videos)
- This has never happened before
- I rarely download big files (exceeding 50MB)
- I have no games on my Mac (except Chess, which I believe is not the troublemaker)
- I have tried forcing all applications to quit. But even when there are absolutely NO applications running (just the Finder), it's still very hot and noisy.
When fully charged up (100%), it only took 55 minutes for all the battery to be used up (empty).
Please help! I don't know what's wrong with my Mac!
Thanks in advance.
