Thanks for the response, here’s more information about my situation
Ok, so it’s a 1.5GHz Intel core solo, I’ve just added 1GB of memory for a total of 1.25GB. It’s not brand new, there’s about 70 days left on apple care.
I’ve already done an erase and install. There is plenty of space around it to breath.
I’ve read that a lot people are experiencing this problem.
Sometimes it’s because they forgot to plug the black cable back in after taking apart the mini to install ram. But in those cases, the fan stays on constantly.
In my case, the fan will slowly get louder and louder until it’s on full blast, and then die back down slowly, and for no reason at all. I mean I’m just surfing the web when this happens.
I’m thinking maybe it needs new thermal paste on the processor maybe?
That the paste on there has worn out and the processor is getting hot just from surfing the web?
I do know one think when I was updating the software, it must have downloaded the firmware update too, and started it without me know. Cause’ I started the software update before I went to work, and when I got back the screen was gray and the fans were on full blasts. So somehow, the firmware started without me knowing, and when I got back, the fans were on full blast.
But it was successful, cause’ when I logged in, that window came up saying it was successful…
I’m lost, should I take to apple store?
