Makes it hard to PvP bro, because if my laptop raised by just one degree (which it does a lot) then it gos into fail-safe mode and shuts down til it drops below 145 degrees

I noticed when running SpeedFan that all three of my fans are at 0RPM and have no graphical data, so I don't know if that feature doesn't work or perhaps my vents and fans either:

A) are overly clogged so there is little to no air flow leaving and it only accumulates over time (I don't even feel airflow coming out of my laptop only going in)

or

B) They've completely shorted and my computer only maintains cooling through the cooling pad at the moment.

Even when I'm running just these forums I'm rising from 144 to 157 and back down frequently so I can only assume it's the cooling pad doing most of the work
Could be a heat sink issue, too, though dust is more likely.
