But If I'm getting this message it generally means the fan is forgeted and I'll need a new one?
cazyforlegos:
if it is, you'll need to get the fan replaced.

If I listen carefully I can hear it spinning, sometimes it sounds like it gets cought in something and slows down then the sound gets low, speeds up again and the sound gets loud again.

double post, ok from what I have read around from the net I need to clean out my fan and heatsink before it breaks or even catches fire, but I don't know how to clean it (or take it apart) can someone link me to instructions on how to or tell me?
