    what are you doing on your laptop?

    did you use some aftermarket software to control/turn off your fans?

    are you using your notebook on your bed/blanket/sofa/lap/etc.?

    1. have you made any config changes to the machine; i.e., tweaks?

    2. some dust may have collected inside the computer and needs to be blown out.

    3. if you haven't made any tweaks to the machine and there is no dust buildup, then i'd say send it back. you're running almost 20C hotter than you should be

    A very dramatic post, but your pc will be OK to much higher temps than that.

    yeah, seriously. My 5150 with a Pentium 4 got as high as 73C CPU and 59ish HDD. You're fine, although too hot for normal operating temps.
