RE: laptop overheating!

Hi,
Try switching the power setting to "Power Saver." Go to Windows Mobility
Center, go to Power tile and switch the mode to Power Saver.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: ot: laptop overheating!

Hi all,
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I am unable to resubscribe to Blind Geek 
Zone with my new email address. My mom recently got a new Dell laptop, very 
nice; 512mb video card, dual core proc, 4gb ram, all that. Today it was left

in a car for a couple hours, but the car was not very hot and the laptop was

in a backpack. When she started it up, it was extremely warm, though in no 
specific area (not around only the battery or the processor). It said it had

recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I thought nothing of it until, some 
hours later (after letting it completely cool in a cshut down state) it 
flashed a Blue Screen of Death and rebooted. Now we are backing up all her 
data, but I am not sure what the problem could be. One thing I hate about 
new laptops is that it is so hard to hear the fan, so I am not sure if it is

running. A sighted friend and I are going to look at it, but is there 
anything we should look for?


Have a great day,
Alex
