</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> 1. What is your laptop's model and specifications?

</I>>><i>

</I>>><i> (I paid $100 less than that price last December at Best Buy)
</I>>><i>
</I>><i> I have a Toshiba Tecra, and it runs considerably cooler than my old Acer.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> 2. Which desktop environment are you using?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> KDE 4.8.2
</I>>><i>
</I>><i> So am I.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> 3. Which applications are you running?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> As a general rule: Firefox and Konsole. Occasionally Dolphin,
</I>>><i> Dragon Player, Libre Office, Amarok.... nothing exceptionally
</I>>><i> heavy.
</I>>><i>
</I>><i> I would normally have a heavier load than that.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> 4. Which graphics driver are you using? Is it the proprietary
</I>>><i> driver?
</I>>><i>

</I>><i> The first thing I'd suggest is going into System Settings> Desktop
</I>><i> Search and turn off all indexing. If that solves your problem then
</I>><i> you can either leave it off, or try closing all other software and
</I>><i> letting the indexing happen overnight or while you are doing something
</I>><i> elsewhere. The initial indexing does take a lot of resources and many
</I>><i> people have found that their computers run hot while it is working.
</I>><i> Usually, once the initial run is complete, it doesn't cause any real
</I>><i> problem.

I just had a laptop returned that I installed Mageia2. 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
