My laptop display will turn off for two reasons: Either I leave my computer idle and the display automatically turns off, or I close my lid and then just the display turns off. When I am using it, my computer is very quiet, and it doesn't get hot at all from the CPU, but as soon as the display goes up (well give it about 10-15 seconds), then the fan starts roaring.
This problem only happened when I upgraded to Windows 8. I have a Sony laptop, S series, specifically VPCSE1AFX. I have 2nd gen i7 quad-core processor (i7-2640M). I am not sure what other details to provide, but I am wondering if anyone else has had this same problem and/or knows how to fix this? This has been extremely annoying.
How long does the fan stay at high speed? It's possible the system is just taking advantage of idle time to do maintenance.

It starts 15 seconds after the display goes off, and it takes only about 15 seconds for the fan to go back to normal speed right after the display turns back on. – Sidd Singal – 2012-11-11T17:38:10.847
