Some years ago it happened to my (old) Dell laptop. The fans started going 
at full speed when they shouldn't have and the CPU slowed down for no good 
reason. After some googling I found that someone had developed an utility to 
control the fans manually and it worked perfectly. This utility is only for 
Precision/Dell laptops (http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/ ) but possibly 
something like it exists for other brands.
