why is my fan constantly running ?-- XP doesn't ever switch it off - and it's really noisy. I preferred it when you had a separate control for the fan... (it's not that hot here either)
Its running because the temperature in your PC had passed a critical point, about 41 degrees I think.
The fans are keeping your laptop ALIVE.
To reduce the noise don't do anything too CPU intensive.
Or hoover the vents
Compressed air in the vents followed by using a vacuum cleaner's nozzle should sort things out.
Best used in combination, if you get over-zealous with the old spraying lark, the dust could go inside the laptop.
True
thanks all..

put it on 'max battery' and it's a bit quiter now....
