[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 380078, member: 8287"] From all I can see, that is where the CPU is and also a large heat sink that one person calls the Thermal dissipator. The Fan blows into that cooling it and the CPU. If that area is BLAZING hot, I bet the fan is binding allowing the CPU to overheat which would for sure cause issues. Fans make large grinding sounds also when going bad. I had one here that made enough noise to raise the dead! That is my take on it based on what you are seeing and feeling and hearing. There is a pic I found which shows what I am talking about. [/QUOTE]
