The fan seems to run on even when the processor is idle
The fan and processor are not tied directly to eachother. The fan is responding to the temp of the processor. The 2 most likely things here are, the processor stays hot, so the fan keeps running, or the fan is malfunctioning and staying on. If it is just the fan, that is a very inexpensive part. If it is the processor overheating, you can elevate the bottom of the laptop when using which will let air below it and cool it slightly. Other than that, you can buy a spall plastic pad like gadget that is a fan. Your laptop sits on top of it and it plugs into a usb socket on the laptop. This blows cool air up into the bottom of the laptop keeping your processor and other parts cooler, causing it to run more efficient. Good luck.
