So I have the MacBook Air 13" the last gen model 2011 or whatever it is. I have Lion on it which it came with, and I had bought Parallels to run Windows 7 which worked fine, but then switched to VMware. Both worked perfect, I'd have Windows running 24/7 and always forget it was even running at the same time as my Mac.
2 days ago I formatted my machine and reinstalled Lion as the hard drive was really full and I wanted a fresh install. I installed VMware with Windows 7 again, but I notice that any time VMware is running my fan is going full blast non stop. Even if I stop the virtual machine just having VMware running keeps the fan going until I quit. So I just installed my Parallels copy that I have and I noticed it does the exact same thing.
Before I never would even remember I had Windows running and sometimes would have it running for days and the fan never even would turn on or go crazy. I did a SMC reset and NVRAm and PRAM but it still does it. Just really confused why it would suddenly do that now when before like I said you'd never notice it. I have it set to use 1 processor core and 1GB of my 4GB ram. I'm at a loss here, any ideas what might cause this?
