[QUOTE="duncanbrodie1, post: 1241244, member: 194668"] This is most definitely the Sudden Motion Sensor. Nothing to worry about. Its preventing data loss on your HDD from physical movement. You can turn it off in your macbook's settings, but you wouldn't want to do that. It's ok to be a little paranoid with a new machine like that. ;D I freaked out the first time I watched an HD movie an the temp went up to 75 degrees! But these things are all normal. Also, although its not a gargantuan program, photoshop elements is still pretty chunky. That combined with torrenting and streaming videos will certainly produce a pinwheel every now and then. If its really bothering you then you could install more ram, which may help a little, but mostly its just the GPU bogging down. [/QUOTE]
