Well, my left fan just kicked in, so I better submit this before the laptop shuts down. I'm not even sure how to replace it if that'll fix the problem. So I can't even tell if the fan just needs some help, or if it's dead, or really what the story is.

HWMonitor, SpeedFan, hmonitor, I8KFANGUI won't install - driver problem. So to diagnose if the fan is completely dead, I've tried a couple fan monitoring programs - none whatsoever can detect any fan. The left fan (underneath the ESC key) works fine, but it's the fan on the right side giving me trouble. Long story short, one of the fans has decided it didn't want to work anymore, or at least work to its full capacity on any regular basis. It's 3 or 4 years old now and way out of warranty.
