    Hi

    Hoping for some good ideas here.

    I have two problems with my laptop:

    1) BIOS/POST, it -always- take between 20 and 62 seconds for the machine to get past BIOS loading.

    2) When i hibernate the computer in Vista, and the power is plugged in, the machine restarts when it should turn off. I came back now and the temperature was a whole 82c on the GPU and 50 for the CPU and HD.

    Any ideas for theese bugs, they are -pretty- annoying for a laptop that is under a year old...
