Stacey;
You have the newest bios loaded in your machine, that I'm aware of. Are you
by chance using a USB device, or have one connected when you experience
this? I had this problem with the 7.1 bios. Dynamism replaced my drive, and
I quit using one USB Network device and it seems to have fixed my problem.
It seems that there is one USB driver out there that may be causing this
problem. (tell me what network devices you may be using, and I'll let you
know if it is the one I was using) I also have a recommendation buy one of
the "Magic defrosters for frozen meat" and keep your 1100v on it. With my
unit, I only had this problem when I was moving or opening large files, and
the bottom of the unit was getting very hot.
