Hi Christopher.
Yes isn't it? However, my computer was recently in to see the doctor and he
told me that I had spilled a can of Coke which dripped into the back, and
the internal fans throw it all over the place. I'm afraid this computer is
terminally ill! I think he did replace the display drivers, so that's what
is probably happening in my case.
