I really am very new to macs, only had my MacBook Pro a couple of weeks but a loving it! Previously I used Windows for many years but will not be going back.
Up until last night I have never heard the fan at all on my MacBook. I watched a documentary on YouTube for about an hour last night and all was normal. I shut down my machine for an hour or so then rebooted to check out Facebook, I clicked on a short video someone had posted and as soon as it started to play I could hear the fan whirring very fast! It did so for the duration of the clip ( about 4 mins) also afterwards I noticed my MacBook had gotten warm underneath! Again I've not experienced any heat before. It seems strange the fan would run so quickly and create heat when watching a 4min video clip but not at all for the hour long documentary!
Any help will be appreciated
