[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1808435, member: 396914"] Open Activity Monitor from your Utility folder in Applications. Go to the CPU tab and click on the header for %CPU to sort the processes by CPU usage. It may take a couple of clicks to get the most used to the top. Then watch what is using your CPU. If you put the Activity Monitor in your startup list at System Preferences>Users & Groups> your account/Login Items and then reboot, AM will start as soon as you log in and you may be able to see what's taking up the CPU to drive the fans. I suspect just about everything from Amazon will be in constant communication with the mother ship. [/QUOTE]
