[QUOTE="sunk976, post: 121825"] Hi Macman, Im using OS 10.4.1.. as for overheating, it can get very hot. At the back left where the charger sits (its the 12" powerbook) it can often get almost too hot to touch.. but i feel that this is probably quite normal. The disk itself does tend to work better from cold... as it gets warmer the slow downs happen more regularly. Last night when I tried to shutdown it took ages.. One thing i have noticed is disk seems to seek with a rhythum, like the head is trying to read over certain area and has to come back over and over until it gets I/O. My fear is that this is a hardware issue, i have tried turning off nearlly all running apps with no help. I notice that in disk utility it says its S.M.A.R.T enabled, .. so it should report if it finds a disk problem.. i would hope anyway. Thanks for your reply. [/QUOTE]
