Well none of what I did with the laptop worked. It shut down as usual in about 40 minutes. Is it possible that it is overheating because the fan isn't working properly? I never paid much attention to it but it seems like I don't really hear the fan turn on and run much if at all. Should I be able to hear the fan? Is there a way for me to check it?
