    i got my studio back after the Blue-ray failed, they decided to replace the motherboard, optical drive and the speakers, very strange why they decided to replace all those parts

    well after getting the laptop back i have had a issue which dell is meant to be sending a engineer to fix today

    check out these temps reported via hwmonitor

    Hardware monitor ACPI
    Temperature 0 93°C (199°F) [0xE4E] (TZ00)
    Temperature 1 82°C (179°F) [0xDE0] (TZ01)
    Temperature 2 91°C (195°F) [0xE3A] (TZ02)

    Hardware monitor Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8600
    Temperature 0 83°C (181°F) [0x11] (Core #0)
    Temperature 1 83°C (181°F) [0x11] (Core #1)

    Hardware monitor WDC WD32 00BJKT-75F4T
    Temperature 0 42°C (107°F) [0x2A] (Assembly)

    do you think that they would need to now replace the processor??

    Sounds to me like they did a crappy job with the thermal pads/paste after reinstalling the motherboard. When the Dell person comes out, make sure they put new thermal paste on. Push for it, do not accept just the thermal pads.
