    Updated my m15x bios to x36.
    My temprature of the THRM is stuck at 80!

    I know its not the real reading because i just turned the laptop on, and it is cold as ice lol, all the tempratures are low so i know its just the reading.

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
    Is it the bios update?
    Any advice?
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    M15x fully loaded.
    8800m gtx
    x36 bios
    windows vista

    It's a known issue. Everyone that updates to x36 has the same problem, and as far as I know, it can't be fixed. Doesn't really matter though as it's just a software glitch.
