FAN problems

i have a problem with the SmartPC 250n - the same one as everyone else the darned overheating/autoshutdown stuff - except mine has a twist. my fan still works and i know it can go it to the really high speed mode because it does it at system startu. however in windows it never runs in high speed mode - all it ever does is go slowly and infrequently - when playing DVD's or playing games - or even just a couple of explorer windows, a couple of folders and a text editor running the system gets hotter and hotter and the fan never speeds up. this means the system overheats very often and shuts down to protect itself. i know there must be something wrong with either the fan itself or the fan control stuff on the motherboard - can anybody help?
