Are you referring to when you close the lid? When it gets hot, does the fan ramp up? You could try a SMC reset. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

Yes, Ginger, when I close the lid, and I have been hearing the fan ramp up. While I was waiting for a reply I found another article that suggested checking the share tab in system preferences and uncheck what is there. The only thing checked was printer sharing so i unchecked it and I have had no trouble since. If it comes back again, I will try the smc reset you suggested. Thanks so much!
