    Hello, i was noticing that the center fan is always on and the one on top of the processor is always off until the computer gets too hot then it turns on. Is there any way to always have both fans on? Ive been having what seems to be overheating problems. I tried recovery my computer but is always turned off when formating the partition because the fans would spin like crazy until i stuck it in the refrigerator then it completed the recovery. No joke i know it sounds silly but it worked. i opened and dusted the computer and just flashed it with the latest bios. Is there any way to always have both fans on?

    I used to have a zv5360us.... it ran REALLY hot from what I remember. But then again it had a 3.0 GHz P4, so it was beastly and it was worth a lot a year and a half later when I traded it in. (I think it was $500 or something)
