Posted August 23, 2015 You could check if your cpu/gpu is running hot on the laptop. If they are, try cleaning the laptop intake with a can of compressed air. Most of the time this will do the trick. | GPU: MSI GTX 970 | CPU: Intel i5 4460 | PSU: Sharkoon 500Watt 80-plus semi-modular | RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 2x4GB | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 23, 2015 how could i fix that? you might be able to fix them by taking the fans out and oiling them, but you might have to get a whole new fan assembly if they are beyond repair Donate your unused computer resources for cancer and other research.

Posted August 23, 2015 so what should i do? I would try to disassemble the laptop and lube the bearings. if this does not help, then you probably need a new fan.
