Fan Noise
It is driving me crazy. For long periods of time it will make noise like it is trying to start up, then suddenly go silent. This is a Compaq Presario F572US notebook. Currently, the Quanta 30D3 motherboard is running 50 degrees C, and the AMD Turion 64 processors are 55 and 54. The hard drive is a cool 35 degrees C.
Is there some way I can diagnose what is going on without opening up the case? I hope there is some software way to find out what fans this machine has and why one of them is complaining so loudly.
Installed Lubuntu 10.10 on a twentieth century computer without a working CD drive.
