863824 2010-03-04 00:10:00 Hmm hey I figured it out. I use to have a laptop cooling pad with a fan under my laptop but I just bought a Expansion base for my laptop and cant use the cooling pad anymore and that is when I started to have problems. This sucks I want to keep the expansion base cause with it I have 9 usb ports but with out I have 3 (2 if I use the cooling pad) nedkelly (9059)

The update really cranks the fan up so the noise can get a little irritating after a while but your options are limited if you want to use a docking station. Best of luck to you :)

Put it back on the cooling mat and it is now down to 44c. Think I will only use the expansion base when I need more USB ports.
