Good Morning,
I have had a Mac for approximately for one year. I noticed that sometimes, 3 times to date once being this morning, when it hibernates the fan becomes extremely loud. The fan will not shut off until I shut down the Mac. When I restart, the noise is no longer there.

What version of OS X and is it up to date? I assume this is a Mac notebook? Do you have any 3rd party fan control application installed?

It is the 27" mac desktop. I belive the operating system is the previous OS of Mountain Lion. It is up to date. I only installed Photoshop and Lightroom, nothing else.

OK, that would be Lion. Can you try to do a SMC/PRAM reset and see if it behaves better. Though if it's happening that infrequently, you won't know for certain for a while..
