Laptop fan constantly running
Hi ... I have a compaq presario laptop and the fan seems to be running all the time. Even if it's been off all night and you switch it on the fan will be on. I've checked the bios and there's an option for the fan to be always on on ac power but this is disabled.
Ideas?
I'm not sure if this is related but you get random incorrect keystrokes eg press e and get an m

If you do haev the disk. place the cd on the cdrom and then make sure that you boot from disk. the utility disk should allow you to test all the OEM devices. the test should tell you if the fan is failing....
If you dont have a utilities cd then you should move the laptop to a ventiladed area and see if it does the same. i think that your laptop is overheating and the fan is trying to to its best to keep the air flowing. something must be obstructing the airflow on your laptop you might want to clean the fan with an air dust....
good luck
