Upon power up, the fan makes a very loud ticking noise, sounds almost like it's clipping something like a wire. The fan stays on for about 10 seconds then shuts off. It only seems to happen if the computer has been off for at least a couple of hours. If I shut it down, then start it up again right away, the fan does come on, but not with the loud noise. This only happens when first starting up, it never makes the loud noise when the fan comes on during use. I've only had this laptop for a week, but it's done it right from the first time I fired it up.
