laptop fan wont stop

Hi,

I would really appreciate some help. My laptop fan is on all the time and I'm not sure if this is a problem or not but the noise is really getting on my nerves now.

Also my computer has started running really slow over the last few days. When I type in a web address it takes ages for the page to come up. Also when I go on youtube the videos are stopping every couple of seconds.

Any advice would be greatly received.

Thanks.

    You need to buy a can of fresh air and use it to clean the crap out of your laptop so that the cooling works properly. see here

    A Hoover can work on the dust.

    Could also be that the processor power settings are set on full. Have a look at the power settings in Windows Control Panel and possibly set them to an 'economy mode'.

    Not recommended due to static charge!
