Ok, I have a toshiba laptop M45 series and it just started yesterday. It just randomly shuts off and I think its overheating. I don't know if my fan is working or not because it stays on when I put it on one of those cooling things. My question is where and how would I go about replacing the fan?? If this is in the wrong section sorry!

When you start you computer enter the BIOS and see what the temperatures are.

Yeah I have tried blowing it out with an air can. And how do you enter the BIOS when it starts?
