try the cool pad too, i have one for my laptop. it's an antec ($20 best buy) and it works fine. you can find cool pads anywhere laptops are sold.

i was just looking at the antec cooling pads on the bestbuy.com website, and theyre are a couple that come up when i search antec. and they look totally different from one another. which one would you recommend? or a link to any website would be totally awesome, if and when you have a spare minute of course. =]
and thankyou again!!!!! -danielle

i wish i had this one

i've seen it at fry's, it's very well made. but if you have any jacks on the front of your computer it will cover them up.
here is a great one from belkin
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834998314
it's much better for use on your lap and seems to be very effective.

i just downloaded hijack this, if anyone can help me out, i will post the log.
thankyou sooo much in advance!!!! --- danielle
