My new 15" PowerBooks fan seems to be running constantly, from boot to shutdown. I donĀ“t have any apps open and still there is this low hum. My previous model did not do this. Is this normal or shoud I call Apple?

My PB: 15" HD, 100 Gb (7200 rpm), 1.5 Gb ram.

EDIT: My terminal says: 241 AppleFileS 89.8% 4:59:44 2 59 53 3.82M 2.06M 9.84M 34.7M. What process is that and how do I kill it?

EDIT2: I disabled shareing and problem solved. PB is back to silent.

I think the low humming sound is the HD. I still have that, I guess that is normal?
