    Hello.

    I've got a TravelMate 3280, and I've got some heat issues even with the CPU speed at Low, and with a laptop cooler under my laptop. I can send it in for repair, but I kinda need it at home to. :p I've tried to install vista on my computer, but it gets REALLY hot (like 90C) so it shuts itself down because of heat. I've also tried some linux distros like Ubuntu with the same luck.

    Therefore I'm wondering if there is someone who know where I can get ePowerManagement for Vista? I've checked the Acer site, and I can't find it. I've tried to install the XP version, but it doesn't work. :(

    read the CPU UPGRADES AND OTHER INFO FOR THE ASPIRE 5315

    there is a link to a page that will explain how to install XP on your system

    and try I8KFANGUI to make sure your fans kick on,,, 90c is very hot
    you may need to clean the fan out
