The Acer Nitro 5 fans are making noise right away when I power them on.
Hey, I see you're having some issues with your Acer Nitro 5. When you power it on, the fans start making noise, though it's not extremely loud. I'm not sure if this is typical behavior. Could you let me know more about it? Is there anything unusual happening with the startup process?
It is typical for fans to briefly activate during startup and stay quietly active while the operating system loads. The process of loading the OS uses system resources in the same way as any other data processing. How the fans respond changes after the system boots, and over time. Does it differ when the charger is connected versus not?
For boot time details, review your Event Log. Look for any Kernel-Power or other critical errors that might indicate a cold start, suggesting the computer didn’t save kernel parts to disk.
Keep in mind that performing a manual shutdown—such as disconnecting power or holding the power button—is similar to a hard crash. It will cause a cold boot.
This capability belongs to "Fast Boot" in modern systems, automatically enabled on both hardware and software sides. It skips certain checks during startup (like RAM verification) and precomputes kernel modules/drivers for faster reuse. A hard crash or a Blue Screen would trigger a full RAM verification during a cold boot.
