Recently I've received my HP Pavilion 17-e110dx laptop back from Geek Squad after they claimed that they "fixed" it. They said that they replaced the CPU fan, but it seems to have not made a difference at all as even when it's idle, it runs obnoxiously loud. It's running quite a bit hotter than usual and I'm starting to worry. I can't imagine that there would already be dust clogged in the fan as the fan stays at a continuous high rate. Yes, I've gone through and ended any processes in the Task Manager that seem to be the culprit. If anyone has had this problem or has any fixes, it would be greatly appreciated if you'd share, Thanks.
