Sigh, the ventilation on my laptop turns itself on and runs for hours. And it`s freaking loud. Now I don`t think that`s normal, the running all the time that is. The noise seems to be a trademark of this model. Also my working speed - everything I try to do, opening files, programes, shifting files, running certain operations - everything takes a shitload of time suddenly. I freed up more space on the harddrive, more than enough really, still not much effect. I`m having the sneaking suspicion my compi runs programes it isn`t supposed to and slows me down that way but how can I figure this out? Any ideas? I could deal with the slowness but the neverending ventilation is unbearable.

maybe it really is overheating and maybe you need a better fan? and/or - did you try opening it up and using a can of pressurized air to blow all the dust out?

I`m always a bit apprehensive to do anything physical with then notebook because if I screw it up, I pretty much have no back-up. At least internet connection would be a bust. However I`m hoping to get a new computer (or rather older one from someone else) by next week so maybe then I can have a technical-savvy friend give the notebook a once-over. Le Sigh, it`s always something with this thing.
