[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 842995, member: 176256"] I recently gave my lappy a good clean out as the fan was running almost continuously and would go to full speed at the slightest work that the CPU undertook. I tried reverse blowing throgh the outlet with an air gun but I had to strip the lappy down to be able to get at the fluff that had accumulated inside on the the cooling fins. It was so thick that it looked like a layer of felt and I had to physically prise it off with a small screwdriver before giving it a blow through. I then had a close look at installed programs, ran Ccleaner to tidy up bad links, registry entries, etc. and then defragmented the hard drive. The lappy ran like a new machine afterwards. I intend to give the cooler a reverse blow through (oo-er, missus) more often to stop the fluff build-up. [/QUOTE]
