I believe this may be part of the problem. Yes, the laptop is physically
sitting on the couch. I've also had freezing/overheating issues when using
the laptop in bed. But I believe if the fan was coming on properly, helping
remove the excess heat away from the heatsink and cpu, the machine would be
more stable even if i'm using it on the couch or in bed.
How about one of those laptop cooler pads? The flat things with a fan or 2 in them that the laptop sits on? I've never tried one, but I have heard that they keep it a couple degrees cooler. Some are USB-powered which may or may not be a problem with a Wallstreet depending on whether you have a card.
