    Hi people!
    Recently, my Acer laptop's fan started goign on and off in a specific routine.

    It's on for 1 second then off for 5 seconds. Then, after doing this a few times, it goes on for a minute, top speed, before stopping and repeating again.

    It's been doing this for almost a week and that's annoying, especially when it continues like that instead of cooling my computer when I play videogames. Please help me! :confused:

    check for BIOS upgrades for your BIOS / fan controls -
    Laptop cooler will help keep your laptop cool while you play games / intensive use as well -
