[Blindtlk] Fan Problem or something else?

[T. Joseph Carter]

How much of your hard drive space is free?  If not much, that could 
be causing the computer to work harder fitting some of your "virtual 
memory" on the hard drive.

Laptops tend to have fans that rev up like that when the system is 
under load.  Some desktops do it as well.  If that's happening just 
while web browsing (and I don't mean with the 80+ tabs I typically 
have open either), then there's another issue that needs looking at.
