    Well in search of my cause of lag, I couldn't help but noticing that my laptop's fan was going crazy, and made a long buzzing noise. I further investigated this, and I found out that only ONE of my fans were working. I immidiatly took out all of my extra hardware as to not set my computer on fire, but now I do not have access to CDs or using my battery. Can anyone help me?

    Try replacing your fan.

    I just got back from opening up my laptop, it turns out the fan wasn't shorted, but the blade was bent from my little brother sticking a pencil in it...:( I am kinda pissed.

    laptops are notorious for overheating b/c of their poor ventalation. especially if you do gaming with it
