Another trick is to create a new clean account, log out of your current
one, log into the new one and see if you can trigger the fan ramping up.
If not then it's something with the account. Maybe there is a corrupt
preference file or the like.

You might try reinstalling again, perhaps something happened during the
install. Here's another thought, does this happen if you boot in to the
recovery and do something like surf the internet from that?

No. My Apple Care expired this past November. This didn't start to happen
until the latest OS reinstall. Also, the machine is sitting on a hard surface;
a desk with nothing soft on top or beneeth.

You don't happen to have Apple Care do you? I've had one laptop with a
'defective heat pipe' which Apple replaced for free under warranty a couple
years ago now. Also, just to check the obvious, but you don't have the machine
nestled down in anything soft like a couch cushion or pillow that might be
blocking the heat vents right?

Actually, it turned out not to do the trick after all. I think something else
is going wrong here because something's really pulling hard on the GPU: but,
doesn't show up in the Activity monitor. I think that what ever's going on is
producing a lot of heat and making the chip set much hotter than it really
should be. I'll look again but can't find anything.

Many thanks to John and Mike for reminding me about the SMC. A reset of the
SMC did the trick and now all is well again. Thanks.
