[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1322697, member: 134861"] No. It isn't a heating problem. For one thing, it is in a constant 70 degree basement, and IStat Pro shows every sensor to be cool. And the case is room temperature cool. That being said, when I reboot, it acts exactly like a hot spot is cooling down. After the reboot, the fan still goes to high, but slowly slows down to normal - again, just like some sensor was gradually cooling. Now that I know what is causing it, it doesn't bother me since I can stop it. The next time I get to the big city, I will stop in and let the store look at the problem. Or if it turns out to be a firmware problem, I assume that eventually it will get fixed. [/QUOTE]
