[QUOTE="flight3, post: 881098, member: 106129"] Well thanks a lot for your help! It seems that the battery may have been a big part in the problem. Once I switched batteries, it wasn't hot anymore. Then I did some looking around and performed the single user boot, and with the fsck code it fixed the problem. I'm really happy right now, and thanks again for all of your help:D:D. Hey do you have any suggestions on how to keep it cool? I know not to put it on soft surfaces, I'm thinking software like G4 fan control (but don't know how to use it), or maybe even a cooling pad.: [/QUOTE]
