    Hey guys, well I recently received another M1530 from Dell to replace my defective one. However there seems to be an issue about the heat and fan with my new M1530 (replacement one). I have installed NHC (notebook Hardware Control) to check out the temperatures on both my notebooks. It seems that my replacement one creeps up past 60 and has to have the fan turned on in order to cool it down and I am not doing any work on it and just leaving it alone. My defective one which is just cosmetic things, it can keep a constant temperature of 56, but the important thing is that the fan never turns on when i'm leaving it idoling with nothing really running. Can anybody shine some light on this? I am considering getting ANOTHER replacement cause of this issue.

    P.S. My replacement one I also did a clean formate and also added 1 gig of ram = 1.5 gig in total. I have about 56 processes running on the replacement one and 75 on the older one. Help me out.. what should i do?!
