Normally that fan runs on an "As Needed" basis? You can try to clean it out with canned air to help reduce the need for the fan, but it's kindof tough in a laptop. Hard to do it without blowing all the dust further into your laptop.

Cameronwanabe has a similar post to yours linked below. You might want to take a look at hfcg's suggestion.
