Hit it with a blunt object a few times, at least that's what I do.

@moldyfrag: I'm talking really loud :/ it's like putting your ear next to an air duct but louder o.o

Mine used to do that it means there are too many dust in the fan. You must take your computer apart and remove all the dust from the fans ( all of them). I used a dust blower thing that cleans keyboards(forgot what they are called).

What pie said. Happened to me and my computer cut off. Once you clean it, your all set.

A shoe or a bottle would probably do the trick.

Same thing's happening to me. Getting more common lately. Maybe I should follow some of the advice in this thread... Nah.

Dust cleaning may work, but that's only if it's a heat problem.
