Title:

Fans are on a lot.

Text:

When my MBP is idling, the fans go to full speed (6000 rpm) after 5-10 minutes.

As soon as I start using the system, the fans calm down to normal (2000 rpm).

I have reinstalled the system, and tried different systems (Tiger, Leopard, SL).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
