    hi

    i have a laptop that is 5 years old....I have a regulated control option where I can set the fan to switch on when it reaches a certain temperature i.e (50 degrees celcius) to slow fan speed. If it reaches 55 degrees celcius or over the hi speed fan switches on. I notice there lately that the fan seems to switching on this high speed option more frequently than before.. What is the cause of this? Is proceessor failing or what?


    Thanks.

    Have you checked your heatsink for dust buildup? If it's significant this is most likely your problem. A can of compressed air or better still a vac should remove it!

    cheers.

    I did that and that seems to have solved the problem.
