    I have a dv2700 with vista.

    Quite often the fan will pulse, going high for a second then slowing down again then high then low... This cycle can go on for minutes or hours. It started doing this when it was about 2 months old, so I doubt its dust.

    I updated the bios with no effect.


    Any ideas how to fix this? It's really annoying.

    Can you try monitoring your temps using HWmonitor?
