Hello,
I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.6 and have noticed in the last few weeks that my laptop will get very hot immediately at start up and the fans will come on at high speed.
After a bit the machine will cool off and the fans turn off, but then it will do the same thing at unpredictable intervals.
I ran a diagnostics test and it didn't show any hardware issues.
Is there anything you might recommend in order to figure out what the problem is and how to correct it?
Im not very tech savvy, but am able to open up the laptop, remove, replace or clean certain components. Much past that Im not very able.
Thank you very much for your help and I hope to hear from you soon.
Oh, one thing I just thought of. I recently added "Amazon Photos" to my Mac and it seems to be running continually. Do you think that could be the cause of the problem?
best to you,
Rick
