    Hi, my laptop fans have been running really fast for no apparent reason. It makes a very loud buzzing noise. When just browsing on the internet, its fine. But when running a simple game like roblox, they start to kick up and spin really fast. I have a nvidia geforce GTX 960M and an i7 core. It happened yesterday, and i thought it was over heating because i did play on it for 6hrs straight. So i left it to cool down for about 2 hrs. When i went to play some games again, the fans started to kick up really fast. So me and my dad opened it, and tried cleaning the fans, but 3 cables unplugged. When we plugged them back in, the keyboard stopped typing, but I have a separate keyboard connected to my monitor. What should i do and how do i make the fans stop whirring to the point it makes a loud noise? Thanks!

    your computer should be using your fans like that practicality doing anything because I have same computer as you because me just web browsing now my temps are fairly low
    The only thing I would check to see if you have a virus scan your computer a full scan with your antivirus and check task manger to see your usage on the cpu if its over 15% just web browsing if it is more then likely you have way to many apps running in the background or see if apps are being updated in steam that cause this as well. and download speccy to see your temps are hot if they are just web browsing there's something wrong

    link for the app https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download
    note click the one for ccleaner.com for the app
