Well, I have an issue again with this laptop. I am starting to get very frustrated.
Basically, I ordered this for the 06 school year (that isn't a typo) and have yet to really receive a functional laptop. The first laptop (this is the replacement one ) would blackscreen and restart while gaming and had an issue where it "forgets" to turn the GPU fan on. The second laptop doesn't black screen, but it has a severe issue with "forgetting" to the turn the fan on.

It has been at the desktop, no gaming or anything 3d at all. That is with the GPU massively underclocked and we are at boiling.
I am going to call Toshiba later today, but is there anything short of opening it and wiring it to 12v (or a switch)....I'm tempted to do that.
Please understand I am very frustrated with this laptop since Toshiba has literally told me "that can't happen" every time I call (when explaining the fan not turning on and running at 100c+).
Any help is appreciated, especially if you know someone in the company that could assist me. This is getting ridiculous.
Things I've tried:
1) Speedfan (doesn't detect fan)
2) Rivatuner (doesn't detect fan)
3) Reinstall Windows (fixes it for around a week)
4) Got a REPLACEMENT laptop, problem followed
