| | The scan just finished. Turned up nothing. I take that back about the heat. My dad has a really old laptop and is using my fan to cool it off, and thats right around when I started to have this little problem. also (my fan vent is in the back) there was a stack of napkins behind my vent. So its probaly overheating. Thank you everyone. |
