    I reinstalled windows and the ATI driver that allows me to switch between the Built-in and the discrete graphics.

    I think the discrete card (Radeon5650) does not turn off, and the left palmrest is overheating. Is there someway to tell what is happening ?

    I think both cards are running at the same time.

    HWmonitor is not telling me temperatures. (ie , not detecting that both cards are running.)

    Help , Thanks
