Thanks! I'm not an expert on this one. Make sure that all the cooling ducts are free of dust. You might want to take the laptop apart and clean it. Here is a maintenance manual http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01035657.pdf
Also make sure you don't have any applications running that continually use the HDD. Dynamic backgrounds or screen savers will do that. Check your power settings (Preferences/Power Management). There is an option to spin down the HDD. -- Jerry Feldman <[email protected]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
