Loud fans - Dell studio 1558

Question

I'm having a problem with my dell studio 1558 were my fans are running very loud.

I never had this problem on windows 7 and I'm really struggling to find a fix for it.

I've tried other distro's as well and they have the exact same problem.

It doesn't seem to be cpu as nothing is using a lot of resources, I've tried installing ati drivers but then i keep running into other problems and the noise doesn't seem to go away.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

can you please elaborate on your PC configuration? and do you have a dedicated GPU? — Ganesh Hegde, Mar 04 '13 at 15:42

I had fan problems myself on Lenovo Y580 Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU with internal hd 4000 graphic, and nvidia gtx660 graphic card.

I simply changed GPU on Nvidia X server settings (proprietary driver) to Intel.

You can use Intel graphic installer , it works well on Ubuntu 14.04.
