Asus laptop fan trouble

[pintofbrew]

I recently bought a K501U Asus laptop from Newegg and from the begging I have had problems with the fans. After 5 - 10 mins of use the fans kick in and they either stay on for the rest of the time that I use them or they quickly turn off and on. The laptop isn't overheating since the temps are always around 39 to 42 degrees C, and I only have one or two windows of firefox open.I haven't been able to see any option in the bios that would let me control the fans and after downloading software from the Asus support nothing seemed to change. Just wanted to check here if anyone has had a problem similar or knows a trick to fix it. Thanks...

I would return it.

It could be background processes as asus likes to put bloatwear on the machine.
