Default Please help me with my computer fan!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that's about a year old. For as long as I've owned it, the fan has run almost continually. At first, I thought it was just normal because I've never owned a Dell laptop before. But, my sister has a Dell laptop and I've now talked to many other people who own Dell laptops and they do not have the same problem.

In trying to research this, I've found a couple of suggestions but I just don't know enough to know whether they are the right things to do or not. One suggestion is to update the BIOS - but some people say that that could screw up other things even if it fixes the fan. I've also heard that I need to clean out the fan with compressed air - but I don't know where to spray the air and I don't want to mess anything else up.

Can anyone please help? The fan is driving me crazy!!!
