Heat sink fan running way too high all the time.
Quantos:
On a side note, I wouldn't be overly concerned by the speed of the fan. They actually last longer at one set speed, the changing of speeds is not good for the armatures.

I performed every test possible with the ResourceCD and defraged the HD and everything but one issue is fine according to the computer. One error messege did come up reading:
Error Code 0F00:131A IDE device failed
I don't know what that means but everything else, except the fan, seems to run normal.
computeruler:
That means some ide device, your hard drive or cd/dvd drive failed
