5150 fan always running
My Inspiron 5150 has a
really loud fan--it often runs in high gear even when it has no reason to (a.k.a. it will be just sitting there with the screensaver on). I had the motherboard replaced this summer (after only a year of owning the computer) but this problem occured even before then, and the fan is clean. I ran the BIOS update to A38 but that's not helping. Other suggestions? I'm still under a service contract, so I can get any repairs I need...

you could try to download this utility called i8kfangui to check your temperatures. you can get it here
but try not to adjust the fan speed unless you know what you're doing. I stay away from adjusting the fan speed because sometimes its buggy to me.
