Fan running uncontrollably for no reason

Hello,

I have been having a problem with my MSI GE70 for a long time. Sometimes, the fan goes crazy and makes a loud noise, to the point that I feel like it’s going to explode. When it starts making a lot of noise, it doesn't stop unless I manage to put the laptop to sleep. This noise occurs completely randomly: it can happen when I’m playing a game and my laptop heats up a bit, but it can also happen suddenly when I’m not using the computer. It can happen several times in a row, or it might not happen for days. I took the laptop apart to clean it a bit, but the problem is still there. If you need any more details, feel free to ask!

Thank you in advance.

    This morning, the fan went wild twice in a row while I was playing an MMO, the process was taking between 30 and 32% of the CPU, nothing more, but the fan sounded like a rocket. Since then, it has been making a bit more noise than usual, but it's a constant noise.

      It's done it again, but I didn't have anything open except for the Task Manager.

        And in the task manager.... did you click on PROCESSES?

        You may have a poorly installed program?
        Do you only have one antivirus?
        Have you tested your PC for a certain amount of time in safe mode (with networking)?

      Yes, I clicked on Process but there is nothing unusual...
      I formatted my computer two months ago, I had this problem before but it didn’t change anything.
      I only have one antivirus, which is Avira, but it has been deactivating at startup for two days...
      I haven't tested safe mode yet, I will do it and keep you updated.

      I launched the safe mode for the first time, the fan went wild at startup and I had to turn off the PC quickly. But I tried again and the fan is running quietly.

      Avira, but it's been two days since it disables itself at startup...
      Isn't this curious?
      Can you clarify this??

      In safe mode, it seems to work well.
      Maybe you have a poorly installed program or one from who knows where???
      So some cleaning to do in your programs

      Virus possibility?
      Only you know...
      Do you know Malwarebytes?

      Execute: msconfig
      And in STARTUP keep only the necessary/minimum antivirus etc.
