    as u can prolly tell by the heading i am running a hot computer. im not exactly sure if htis was the forum i was meant to write into, but it seemed that it could b a hardware thing.
    i use an acer aspire 1640 which has not had any parts changed or anything. i was wondering if there is a way to tell how hot ur computer is running and then possibly how to fix it if its running too hot.

    mine does run hot, to the point where i have an icepack on it :S

    please help me!

    i just tried the link but it was dead.

    Not Found
    The requested URL /download4181.html. was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.majorgeeks.com Port 80


    thats what firefox said.

    and is it possible to get a water cooler for a laptop?

    Aaaaah, it's a laptop...
    Well then watercooling and extra fans might be out of the question alltogether...
    First, here's another link for everest : http://www.download.com/Everest-Ultimate-Edition-2006/3000-2086-10499291.html
    *i tested this one, it works*
    As for the cooling problem, since it's a laptop, i can't help you, because i know f***all about cooling those things, but i'm sure someone here has some ideas.
    Good luck.

    Well, most of the time temps over 50°c aren't good, over 60°c is pretty bad, and much hotter... well, i take it you get the picture

    :S thats not good at all. when i used everest i had a idleing temp of about 55c

    this is not good at all.
    i know u said u didnt know much about laptops but do u have any ideas at all about how i could keep it cooler?

    the best idea i have had so far is the ice pack
