nope, never messed with any fans or heatsinks.

I did the live cd thing, and the laptop stays on longer, but gives me a blank screen after the gateway screen.

After a little bit I heard the cpu fan start spinning faster and faster. I never heard it spin that fast even when gaming. I think something is wrong with the cpu, but I never touched anything near the cpu. I was very gentle too. I am just wondering if the warranty covers that? I asked gateway where to buy a new keyboard and they told me the laptop is under warranty so I am getting a new keyboard for it. I doubt they would do the same thing about the cpu if that is what is fried. The cpu isn't that expensive to replace. Only about $160.00, but I can get a faster one for $200.00. Just need to find out what is wrong.
