It seems at random my fans just started to run at max speed all the time. I don't know when it started or what caused it. I've tried blowing out the whole inside of my computer with compressed air, and even replacing the fan with another one that I had. Nothing has fixed it. I don't know if this is a virus or just some software issue that is making this happen but I want to try everything else before I try factory restoring my pc because that's a pain. Also I ran norton and malware bytes and neither one said there were any viruses or malware. Also my cpu usage is at 1% so there's no reason for them to be running at full speed. What could be making the fan do this? My computer is an alienware aurora r3. I have an upgraded gpu and ram if that helps at all.
EDIT: I checked my fan speed and it's at 5500 rpm at idle.
