PowerTop screen-shot

Description of problem:
PowerTop gives me above 700+ wakeups/second(Seen 1500+ also).
My fan is constantly turned on and off. 
The air that exits from the fan is cool.

My Laptop is a Dell N5110 15R(Intel Sandybridge Mobile) with Nvidia 525M card. I've installed bumblebee to make use of battery and performace provided by the Optimus Technology.
It runs a fresh install of Feodra 20 which is completely updated by yum

But I find the constant on and off of my laptop fan quite scary.
I also have a Ubuntu system on another identical laptop and everything is fine there. No fan on/off and the wakeups dont cross 400 wakeups/second.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PowerTOP v2.5
Linux kernel 3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64
Gnome-shell 3.10.2
Firefox 26.0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on Laptop and start PowerTop
2. Open firefox or someother browser like Google Chrome etc
3. Huge increase in wakeups/second


Expected results:
A standard rate of Wakeups/sec and fan should only turn on when the system is heated.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:26:48 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 14:21:59 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
