Yea, sometimes the fan does seem louder than usual.This is a laptop we're talking about though. Do you think I should crack it open and blow it out or just replace the brick. I was further thinking that because the brick seems to fluctuate it's power supply less frequently (the power is more consistent) that if I were to replace the battery it would fix the problem because the battery has never been replaced and it is about 5 years old.

My Thinkpad T60 was overheating and shutting itself down once in a while due to overheating, mostly when playing WoW (windows) or anything else that did a lot of graphics processing. I opened it up and cleaned off the old heat sink compound and applied some new grease and its been running fine. I also use a laptop cooler whenever possible, that plugs into the usb port that allows better air circulation than having it sit flat on a table.
