Message: Subject: overheating notebook hard drive By: lancer (IP: 137.132.3.*) Written on: 12-01-2005 11:29 Hi. My notebook is Compaq Presario 2524, and it runs REALLY hot.. I understand this may have something to do with the desktop P4 processor being used but after I installed Hard Drive Health it reports that my hard drive is consistently over 50 degrees and sometimes as high as 60 degrees celsius, which isn't good as far as I've read on this site. What can I do about it? Thanks.

If it is never exceeded, you can't do much, except hope it won't fail. If it is exceeded, contact your retailer and/or Compaq support stating this problem. bye, Tillmann By: Tillmann (IP: 84.57.4.*) Written on: 12-01-2005 12:13 Hi, PS, note that Notebook drives are often specified to work at higher temperatures than desktop computer drives. bye, Tillmann
