Hi there,
I've had my toshiba laptop for a year now. Bought it brand new.
Laptop is core i7 with windows 8 factory installed
Model no. is Satellite S855-S5165
Ram: 8gb +4gb custom added so 12gb
Processor: 2.20 ghz
Heres the problem
I do not know what caused it but when i opened my laptop a few weeks ago. There was nothing on besides the battery and wifi led lights but i could hear the fan struggling like it was trying to start but was unable to... Kind of like something you hear when warming up a car by stepping on the gas pedal repeatedly. I thought it was a hardware problem but when i left it open and got back it had started. The next day i left it open and the fan huffed and puffed for about 30 minutes before it booted. There is no consistency in the time. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes, sometimes 30. But it doesnt seem to do that when i restart, only when it has been shut down and started. There is no other problem in performance after it starts.
I tried refreshing the pc and restoring all the settings but the problem is persistant.
Can anybody help me.... I dont want to have to wait a while all the time.
