Now let's read between the lines - its what you didn't say that draws my interest.
I know it's overheated before when reformatting because I didn't give the fan enough ventalation
So, what did you do after you reformatted? Perhaps your own installation? If you just used a restore CD you didn't need to reformat, so I need a little help here. What did you install OS-wise? Did you install the correct motherboard drivers? Give us a little more background and history.
When did your problem start?

I use a cheaper type of device on mine which just elevates the back about 1/2" so the fan can suck in more air and my laptop is a Sony which is setup a little diferently.
Good Luck.

andStarted about a month ago but it seemed to go away after I gave it some ventalation
andI know it's overheated before when reformatting because I didn't give the fan enough ventalation
Ok. I talked to my friend too and he said to replace the fan
I said :
SpudZ is right on the money re: being a standard system, there shouldn't be an overheating problem but have you tried a liitle canned air to clean up your exhaust fan?
Now, lets get this straight - Installing a replacement fan (and yes, I know Fry's and no, you're not going to find the correct fan at Frys) isn't going to hurt you but is that solely what I think ails you and is this going to make your problem go away? I sure wouldn't bet the ranch on it and I hope I haven't led you to believe thats my cure-all diagnosis.
Now let's read between the lines - its what you didn't say that draws my interest.
There is a whole lot more that I would like to know before I'm going to try to peg what ails you. We're going to need to discuss your file downloading and bunch of software related and system related issues too but if you've had problems in the past with ventilation and heat as you have led us to believe then it makes sense to start by fixing that first. Key word here is START.
