Hey thanks so far everyone, we cannot re load OS due to well everything is slowly going. Our fan sounds like it is going to launch and fly the laptop soon, the keyboard gets reallly hot and it always if on a airflow, the ports to attach things work 25 % of the time and wont charge anythng and the mouse now works 75 % of the time.LOL.
We use for schoolwork, pictures, movies and so on. We like fast, good battery and multiple of things. I used to do alot of writing and was working on a book at one time.
The noise that you think is an internal cooling fan might be the hard drive....that was the case with my recently departed Toshiba - it served me well for 7+ years - and the reason it finally died was virus infection, not a hardware failure.
I bought new Toshiba laptop about 3 weeks ago. It is my 6th Toshiba laptop over the last 19 years. I doubt I'll ever buy another brand simply because of my own experience with their machines. Some of my colleagues buy other brands due to expressed appreciation of good customer service. Toshiba may well have excellent customer service, but I can't say for sure...I've never had to use it!

I had both McAfee firewall and Windows firewall enabled. I had AVG running, and the virus still found a way onto my machine. The virus blocked access to all three of the anti-virus programs I had so I couldn't do a scan and removal. It blocked access to sysem restore too, so that wasn't an option. I'm not going to network the old laptop to the new one until or unless I pay a professional to remove the virus.
I was going to buy a new laptop in a couple months anyway. This just moved the purchase date up. I bought this Toshiba, Open Box - New Toshiba Satellite L655-S5101 at Tech For Less It's a great machine and the price was much less than what I thought I was going to have to spend.
