I've never used it but what about CPU throttling? There's some package like CPU utils. Slow down the CPU and it runs cooler. Or complain to the people that made a laptop that can't run at advertized spec. Is it clean? Is the fan working? Is it on a hard surface or a soft (insulating) one? Perhaps the debian-laptop list would have some suggestions. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
