Bad news, guys... My three year old Dell Inspiron laptop seems to be nearing the end of its life. Pages are taking longer and longer to load, the thing is heating to the point that putting my hand underneath it will probably give me a first degree burn, and Youtube seems to have stopped functioning entirely even with the IE8 it made me install - if I have so much as one other page or an IM open, Youtube videos play for all of a few minutes before they start to stutter, then the sound starts to come out like it's being pulled apart, then it freezes altogether and sometimes even the Internet connection is broken.

Am I fucked? Can my laptop be saved somehow? Or has its time to meet its maker finally come?
