I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I have a basically brand new Dell M4600 and the GPU fan literally cycles every fews seconds - all day long. even when the computer is at idle it does it. Is this something that I should worry about? It's a little annoying, but I can get used to that. It just doesn't seem that it should be happening.
Hopefully all of the relevant info is below, as well a sa screen shot of the temperatures. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot,
Brian

Done very basic troubleshooting and testing, but my knowledge and resources are a little bit limited. I downloaded SpeedFan to prove to myself what is happening. Screen shot is attached.
