hot n sweaty laptop

[Fishface]

I had a similar problem with a Dell Laptop.

Fan on all the time - got really hot.

You may need to reset/update the BIOS as the temprature routine has gone wrong.

The short term measure was:

On a Dell I think it was ctrl + alt + shift and z - this immeadiatly made the cooling system work correctly for a while and then repeat.

Ultimately, back up your drive as the it will give up sooner rather than later.
