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?
You mention that you have tried different ACPI options, but have you
tried booting with ACPI turned off entirely (acpi=off on the kernel
command line)? At least as recently as 2.6.18 there were some HP
laptops that would overhead when ACPI was enabled. I don't remember
your model being one of them, but it may help.
