    Hey everyone, Ive been using my computer for a week now but ever since I got it, theres been a loud fan noise coming from it constantly. Whether Im just surfing the net, typing up essays, theres always a constant loud fan noise.

    In the review for the laptop by levdig, he claimed that it stayed cool and quiet...but mine does not do that at all.

    COuld I just have been an unlucky one?

    Have you gone the power settings? My Toshiba, although older, has a program that allows me to switch fan power between "silent" mode and "max performance" mode (which sounds like a hairdrier). Is the expelled air hot? If this tweaking doesn't work, I would advise that you return it.
