[QUOTE="ticedoff8, post: 973606, member: 117762"] First suggestion: I wouldn't trust the fan sound alone. You have the same MBP I have. Get smcFanControl and run it. Don't adjust anything, but look at the fan RPM. 0-rpm = dead fan. There should be 2 fans. I had 1 fan die, and I didn't know it until the 2nd fan died. Then I had the same kind of RSS problem. The first time I ran smcFanControl, I had 0-RPM on both fans. It also has a temp read out - anything over about 80-degree C is bad and you will probably get an over-temp panic shutdown. If the fans are running and it is hot, the fans may need to be cleaned. [/QUOTE]
