What the title says lol, anyways I reformatted my computer and then all of a sudden randomly started to overheat or make extremely LOUD noises from the fan and its been annoying the hell out of me for the past few days and I can't take it anymore. I doubt theres any dust because I haven't seen any around the computer but haven't checked inside since I don't really know how to open the laptop. I am like really tired of the problem even when my charger is on or firefox is opened it starts to randomly overheat/make loud fan noises. Before the reformat made roughly any noise in both positions and a bit of noise when gaming. Please help me >.<

Sounds like a TIM (CPU Thermal Paste) problem and the bearing on your fan may need some oil. To fix this you have to tear your computer apart to remove the heat sink from the CPU and reapply new thermal paste to it. Also you can remove the fan blades from the magnito and apply 3in1 oil to it to get rid of the squeeking. Thermal paste and bearing greece dry out over time (3 to 5 years) and need this done. Is you lap top new or how old is it?

If you have never done something like this before I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS with out help or get a profesional to do this.
