I don't know what the difference is between windows and linux is (just kidding).
No seriously, I've scoured the net for answers for the past 4 days, looking at ACPI options, dsdt files, going over all sorts of crap I really shouldn't have to mess with. I've shut off all the services I could, even syslogd to see if perhaps it was radiating from the HD .. my video card runs at a whopping 90 degrees Celsius! All this heat ever since I installed Linux (FC6) on this laptop (Sams club HP Pavilion dv2174cl) my laptop feels like it's on the verge of a nuclear meltdown - fans are running all the time; heat eminating where it never used to etc... The strange thing is, in windows - you would have never thought the laptop was on except the screen! IT ran very cool and quiet and was quite enjoyable - until I got my first virus (yay). Before I "Restore" windows - has anybody heard of a way to keep laptops from frying your hands as you type - in linux? -- -- -- Matthew Frederico http://www.ultrize.com ---------------------------------- Office: (801) 938-4071 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
