Just to add, I have had first hand experience with dealing with an HP dv2000 series laptop where the fan would be running at full speed all the time. Right after taking a can of compressed air to it, the fan was able to go back to regular operating speed because the CPU was running cooler due to dust not clogging up the heatsink anymore.

It sounds like it may be overheating.
If you have a can of compressed air, blow it into the fan vents to get rid of the dust that has built up inside. If you don't have any cans of compressed air, you can try a vacuum, but it won't be as effective.
