Fan Comes On When Laptop Is Not In Use A515 54G 56VE
I have a 5 month old A515 54G 56VE which I don't use very much. I have it plugged in all the time. In my Power & Sleep options I have the laptop set to turn off the screen after 3 minutes (whether plugged in or running on battery) and I have it set to go to sleep after 5 minutes, again, whether plugged in or running on battery.
My power and sleep options currently work as expected, although for the months I've had this laptop, the settings for turning off the screen and going to sleep definitely did not to work as expected. In weeks past I tried having different time amounts, such as turning off the screen after 15 minutes, and going to sleep after 25 minutes. I also had different times for battery vs. plugged in. I would unplug the laptop and see if it would follow the instructions. Sometimes it did, other times not. I kept changing the settings because the laptop did not to be follow the Power & Sleep instructions. For example, there were times when I walked into the room and the screen would still be on, and I had not touched it for hours.
I finally settled on my current settings - 3 minutes for screen to power off, and 5 minutes for the computer to go to sleep, and the same number of minutes whether plugged in or running on battery. That seems to have solved the problem of inconsistency, but now I have another problem. After the computer goes to sleep, sometimes I will walk into the room - after not having touched it for hours - and the fan is running.
Is this the way the laptop is supposed to work? If not, how can I stop this?
