    It kinda went on now for months, but today i just decided to take care of this problem once and for all.

    the fan revs up even if the laptop's not in use. friends say it need to be cleaned inside (which i haven't done yet) and i was wondering if a vacuum cleaner would be ok instead of blowing out the dust?

    and this is the other error. :|

    i got a blue screen with a "IRQL not less or equal" error. read some of the forums that it has to do with bad ram. how come it took this long if it really is bad ram? :\

    vacuum generates static charge, and is a bad idea. use compressed air

    air dusting it out isn't really all that hard to do, if you watch the videos in youtube it shows how easy it is.
