My Fan Is On Slow...

[Skydragon]

I got a really big problem here. For some reason whenever i do more than once thing at once like download + playing games + and some other stuff, my computer can't handle it because a message from system tray pop up telling me that the temperature is too high. i checked and i saw it was at 65oC. This is happening more often now. When I waited for an hour before turning my computer back on, I went to check out my fan and saw it was on slow. does anyone know how to make the fan spin faster or make it on normal speed so when it's hot, it knows what to do so it can process more...thanks for any help or tips.

Which fan is going slow? The CPU fan?

If the fan seems to be slow and changes speeds then the fan is probably faulty. Replace it.

Try opening up your case (if your not scared of voiding warrenty) and taking a can of compressed air and blowing out all the dust, that can usually cause the fans to be able to spin more efficiently and lower temps a lot.

I don't think it has dust...It still running normally, but when I try to burn a cd, watch something then the fan get screw.
