    I don't know if this is normal or not but after Flashing BIOS from F.16 to the new F.25 my notebook gets a lot hotter than before, especially around the HD area and touchpad.
    Does anybody know if this is normal?

    I have a dv6129us-Winxp mc-core 2 duo 1.6GHz-100GB HD-1GB RAM.

    Yeah A lot of owners also complained about the F25 BIOS making their laptops run much hotter. A number of them went back to the older BIOS.
