I did manage to solve the problem by changing a file here and there /etc/cpuspeed.conf VMAJOR=1 VMINOR=1 DRIVER="speedstep-centrino" OPTS="-i 2 -t /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature 65 -a /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state -p 10 25" Also by turning on the cpuspeed process took care of this for me. :) -- Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
