I've had a few calls about Toshiba laptops in the past. They went
through a phase of putting desktop CPU's in their laptops. Hence the
fan works overtime until just after the warranty expires then packs up.
Toshiba advised customers to underclock the CPU to get better results!

This was after a huge problem with their floppy drives erasing data.
