CPU overheating

[azgal]

The CPU fan has been running pretty much constantly recently.   I scanned the PC with PC Scan and Repair by Reimage which said that the CPU temp was dangerously high and that I needed to clean or replace the CPU fan.  Has anyone had this experience?  If so did it help to clean the fan?  And if yes where could I find instructions for locating and cleaning the fan?

Thanks,

Terri
