OK, that is far too many typos, even for me...

"have you tried running activity monitor to see what process is running, 
  if there is one ? What you describe is not normal, for any OS version. 
You (probably) have some process mis-behaving."

falling that, have you tried cleaning out your mac book of dust bunnies 
etc. ? If you have never done it it is likely jam packed with dust and 
this can have a serious effect on the cooling system, causing the fans 
to run a lot more than then otherwise would.
