    Laptop Fan turning on Occasionally, Never turns on in Windows 8.1.

    I hope that this is just a Temporary Problem.

    Edit: Forgot to specify that I am running Trusty.

    have you check bios (smart mode), maybe it is running hotter in Ubuntu.

    My UEFI Firmware does NOT have a Smart Mode. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 15" 3521 Laptop PC.

    Looks like my Laptop does run a little Warmer with Ubuntu on it than with Windows 8.1.
