Now the fan rarely comes on, and the only reason I can say rarely is because it recently came on yesterday.
I thought the dirt in the fan might be making it stop, and since it has gotten noisier, I was sure this was the problem. After cleaning the fan out, the fan didn't turn on at the first boot. Waited like 3 hours (mostly watching tv while being depressed), then decided to turn it on, and to my surprise, it worked, but still as loud as ever, even with a cleaned fan. Today the fan hasn't come on, which makes me wonder what the problem is.
