[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1925329, member: 396914"] It is, but it's a pain to do. You will have to erase and reformat the internal drive to do that, which means you lose everything on it. And Catalina cannot read a TM backup from Ventura, so you'll have to find a way to make a different backup of what you have to get your files back. Also, the applications you now have may well have been upgraded to the Ventura version, and they may or may not run on Catalina (most likely not), so you'd have to figure out how to get back to those older versions and reinstall them. So, it's possible, but very, very painful and not really worth it unless everything goes absolutely nuts. As for the SMC, to reset it here is an Apple article on it: [URL='https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295']Reset the SMC of your Mac[/URL] Read the whole article before pushing buttons, it varies from machine to machine. EDIT: Oh, and is the temp you reporting Centigrade or Fahrenheit? It makes a difference! [/QUOTE]
