Q: Fans Running

Fans are running constantly on Macbook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) since installing OS X 10.11 El Capitan. I notice it when I am using Safari. If ESPN is open in the browser all **** breaks lose. What do I do to understand why they are running outside of not going to ESPN anymore?

2.9GHz Intel Core i7

8GB 1600 MHz memory

Lots of available storage space

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Try a SMC reset:

If no success, run an Apple Hardware Test:

Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.

Ciao.
