    Recently my m17x r2 started some doing something strange. When idle everything is normal but initially upon needing a ramp up of processing power: launching a game, opening a browser, etc there is a noticeable single "click" and then the fans spool up almost the way a jet spools up the engines for a moment as it moves around the tarmac. Anyone ever encounter this before?
