I have decided it must be the drive's fault. I can't seem to get lm_sensors working properly, thus, I can't actually find out what temperature I'm running. I'm going to look on the Toshiba website to see if there is a BIOS update that will help the fan run more. I can't help but wonder, if it's getting hot, why isn't the fan running more? It doesn't seem to be...although this is hardly a scientifically deduced conclusion. Now for part two of my question. Sometimes after beeping, the hard drive definitely makes some noise. I assume the computer wants to run cooler, but I don't want to go out and buy another drive. Is this going to fry my sysyem...or is there some other way to sweet talk this thing into running cooler? thnx On Saturday 06 September 2003 4:47 pm, John Andersen wrote:

After the laptop has been on for more than 30 minutes or so, it starts beeping. The beeps seem to be intermittent and don't seem to have ANY bearing on what I'm doing at that moment. This has never happened before. The only hardware I've upgraded is from a 4200 rpm laptop drive to a 5400 rpm drive (same size). It seems to be running great. Th
Check your system temp. Could be the new drive is running hotter than the old.
