    Just curious about the P-7811 fan behavior and what other people are seeing in their own units.

    The fan kicks into high gear on mine for no reason, but only for a split second. It happened on my first machine, but not nearly as frequent.

    The computer can be idle on the desktop and this will still happen like every minute or sometimes more....sometmes less.

    Is this anything to look further into or is this just a characteristic of this model?
