Laptop Fan

[bullzi]

hey guys, umm i have a weird problem with my new laptop (dell 1501) lately the fan has been running high non-stop, even when im not doing anything, before it would hardly come on even when im just surfing the internet, the cpu never goes above 10% usually while im on the internet, any ideas?

the processor is running at 58 celsius while im on the internet, thats pretty high isnt it?? and there is hardly any heat coming out of the fan port, could there be a heatsink problem?

i'd tear it apart and blow out the fan with canned air, its possable to have dust keeping heat in causing teh fan to spin faster to cool your system.

well the thing is its under warranty and i dont want to void it

hmm... now for once in about 3 days its off.. idk whats going on, ill have to call dell

normally just taking off the basic covers (lids over RAM, HDD, etc) does not void the warranty. If you have any documentation for it, take a look in there and see if it mentions anything. If it doesn't, and you still want to make sure, you can give dell a call.

but other than that i honestly don't know why your fan would be running higher.
