It also was +running hot. I turned off indexing and also turned of the 3D effects in +KDE. This seemed to cool it down. I just returned the laptop to its +owner and hope to hear from him later this week. He is running a Dell -- +I don't have the model specs here as I was hoping I had found the fix +for the problem. I know the laptop has on onboard intel graphic chip and +that the owner does a lot of YouTube. + +BTW ... my own laptop runs fine with indexing on and 3D effects, though +I tend to turn it off by choice. + +Cheers, + +Marc + + +-- +Marc Paré +<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">Marc at MarcPare.com</A> +<A HREF="http://www.parEntreprise.com">http://www.parEntreprise.com</A> +parEntreprise.com Supports OpenDocument Formats (ODF) +parEntreprise.com Supports <A HREF="http://www.LibreOffice.org">http://www.LibreOffice.org</A> + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="008422.html">[Mageia-discuss] Laptop running hot +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="008390.html">[Mageia-discuss] Laptop running hot +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#8386">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#8386">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#8386">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#8386">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
