I recently installed 12.10 on my Desktop PC, moving away from Windows 7. For some reason, the fan in my computer is making an enormous amount of noise (it is running at full speed constantly).

Under Windows 7, the fan would slow itself down and run at an acceptable noise level. Now, it is nearly unbearable.

Checked the processes, and none are taking up a huge load on the CPU.

Please help as I really can't endure this noise, and I do not want to go back to Windows 7 on this box.

Some specs: - Intel 2.26 duo core - ATI 4870 - 4GB - 650W power supply
