I leave my system on all the time! Turning your system off and on actually puts strain on your components. parts heat and cool when you turn it on and off. This constant expansion and contraction puts much stress on these parts. It can cause everything from component breakdown to circuit board solder joint trouble. I am not sure which fan you are referring to but in any case as long as it runs its definitely cooling!

They aren't supposed to quit as long as the system is on (and on some laptops, even for a while after you turn the unit off).
Few systems will shut down the fan during "low activity" times.

If your computer fan never quits, I think it is just the model of your computer.

Maybe you just need a better computer, or you could have a virus that might cause it to over-heat. Make sure you get a virus protector, run a virus scan, and run a spyware scan

If the fan runs when your comp is off...that is a problem (it is draining your power supply.
If it always runs when the comp is on...that is normal (you don't want your comp to overheat).
EDIT: NEVER LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER RUNNING 24/7!!!!! That is a stupid thing to do.
