Fan at max on boot

Hi, for a week my computer as a problem. Every time i turn the computer on the fan is always at max speed, i can reboot, hibernate or suspend that it stays the same until some random time when it slows down and goes back to its normal behaviour. Some times is in the middle of the boot process other time 15m after boot.
Now this will only happen again if the computer has been off for some time, if i reboot for example it wont happen.

Anyone has any idea how to solve this?

Re: Fan at max on boot

Maybe try to clean your computer from dust.
My laptop was rather loud, too. The temperature and fan speed dropped extremely after I held the vacuum cleaner in front of the the air vents.

I cleaned it with no change, and the temp are low then this is happening, between 40ºC and 60ºC and the fan still spins at max making sometimes the temp go below 30ºC.

Edit: In the BIOS there is no information about fan speeds or options to control it. Using sensors-detect i can't get any fan sensor only temp so i can't use any program to try and control the fan.
