Ouch one of my trusted laptops is making a strange noise (fan). Is it on its last legs?

Does it keep shifting from side to side like it needs the toilet badly?

Oh man I wanted to turn it loose in the playchess engine room tonight, the memory is as hot as an iron.

Bass! How low can you go?
Death row what a brother knows
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The incredible D. Public Enemy number one
Five-O said "Freeze!" and I got numb
Can't I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell
'Cause a brother like me said "Well
Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you, what you ought to do"
Follow for now, power to the people say,
"Make a miracle. D, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again

Hey rb, they're saying we're too black. I don't know what that means, but they could get a smack for that.

If it's getting that hot, I would do a memory test.

And make sure there's no dust clogging things up round the fan.

Normal service seems to have resumed after I shut it down for 15 mins. I ran memtest/chkdsk a few weeks back when I rebooted for windows updates. I ran my windows systems for days/weeks without rebooting, only rebooting if the system has a rare lockup on the playchess engine room.
