hello!
i am running windows xp sp1 on ibm thinkpad 390X.
the problem i am getting is -the processor fan is always on and making noise.
there is a yellow light on back of laptop - which is always on. if i remove the power and take out the laptop battery and start again, it is off for some time and then again it is on.
laptop is making too much noise.
i would be really grateful if you can help me with that.
