Well I know the L50 has a really finely set thermal shutdown threshold ... before overclocking, it'd sometimes overheat just sitting on the desk dumping a hard drive image on full power with nothing in the PCMCIA slots. My L100 doesn't seem to trip the overheat sensor anywhere near as often (although it does get a LOT hotter). You might want to try running Rain 2.0, Waterfall, CPUIDLE or any of the other CPU idling programs that have been mentioned in the archives ... also try keeping the HDD turned off as much as possible as that also generates a lot of heat. Also, I found that when I'm not using the libby for a while (but still needed it turned on), instead of lying it flat on the desk I'd open the screen to 90º then sit it on its left end ... that lets air flow past both the back and front sides and helps with the overheating. I sometimes also flipped the keyboard up so that the heat plate could get more airflow, that seemed to help a bit as well especially when I needed to leave it going for a while (eg. compiling a kernel or dumping a hard drive image). Of course, it gets interesting trying to actually USE it in such a state ;-) Hope this helps! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
