The problem can be serious, but the cure could be very simple. The first bit of advice I could give you would be to open up your case and check to see if the fan is spinning and if the plug is in correctly. Try cleaning any dust off the fan and make sure it's not jammed with anything. If there is nothing visibly wrong with te fan and it is refusing to work then I would suggest replacing the whole Heatsink or just the fan (if it can easily be removed).

Dave!
EDIT: Another thing you could do is go into your BIOS and make sure there is no setting enabled that will slow down the fan, there could be an issue with this function.
