Why is my MacBook fan on for no reason?
You might hear fan noise when this happens, especially if you’re in a quiet environment. This rushing-air sound is a normal part of the cooling process.

MBP (refurbished 2015 model, 15-inch) went into screensaver, and then went to sleep. Then fans started running on full. All of this within an hour. What’s different was that this time the MBP was unresponsive, would not wake up, even if I unplugged and re-plugged the power and the USB mouse.
Why is the clock still frozen on my MacBook Pro?
Clock is still frozen. If I let the MBP sit a while to “snap out of it”, then the screen will dim to black after a while, but nothing else. A keypress will bring the screen back to where it was, frozen except for a dumb mouse pointer moving with the trackpad. A press on the power key is unresponsive.
Why is my MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode?
Open the MBP, the desktop appears, but frozen: clock in the menu bar stuck on the time when I put it to sleep, no mouse pointer at first but then it appears, and it responds to the trackpad to move across the screen, but it’s stuck as a particular kind of pointer, unresponsive to the application underneath. Clicks are ignored.
When do the fans start running while in sleep mode?
For example, the lid will be open hours after I used the Apple menu to go into sleep mode, the fans start just running all by themselves (they take time, note, to spin up before reaching a very loud maximum), I check the “hot spots” with my fingertips (any MBP owner knows where this is… the metal area just above the keyboard), and they were COLD!
