One of our older Dells started making a loud rattling noise and I though the fan was going. On further inspection, it was just dust, lint, and fuzz jamming the fan so that it couldn't turn properly. Cleaned it out, along with the other 6 computers in the office and it works great again! I had the same problem at work last week.

I have had to fix computers in the past suffering from heat problems that hadn't been cleaned for years. It had got to the point the heatsink for the processor had tons of dust/fluff on it that I had to scrape it all out. (Blowing it out wouldn't work, too much wedged in) That is true.
