    I don't know if it's suppose to do this or not but the fan on the left side of the laptop by the power button switch I think is not working. Like when I put my ear by it I don't hear anything. When the computer gets heated up it does seem to turn on to fullest speed and then turns off and then on again and it keeps repeating every 2 seconds. If it helps I have nvidia 195.62 drivers installed from the site. I have windows 7. Bios is 9c.17.00

    Anyone know whats going on?

    around 51c. It does sometimes turn on for like 10 seconds and spins normally but then goes back to turning on to full and turning off and repeating.

    If it stays at 51C then its working. Take a note of the max temp. If it goes beyond 90C then its a pblm. Fan spinning at 51C is the way it works and stops around 43-44C.

    I know that its working but even when I power up my laptop and not logged in windows and when its cooled down it still keeps turning on full speed for a second and then turns off in a loop. It's quite annoying.
