    Can anyone help me. I have my HP pavilion dv9700t for a 5-6 months, and a 5 days ago I've notice that on my left hand palm, touch pad, and area around space are very hot. I've checked with everest and my temperatures are cpu 46 to 50c, gpu 52 to 62c and hdd runs on 50c, and that is after a 1 hour of runing with some low level app. I.ve updated bios, reinstall acpi fixed featured button and calibrated battery but still nothing. I would gladly send laptop back but I'm from Serbia and we still dont have customer support here.

    Tried Blowing out the vents, and undervolting the CPU?

    The heat you are feeling is the HDD and Wireless card. The HDD gets hot because of the wireless card. Mine is sitting at 35c and gets as warm as 43c when it's working. My 2nd HDD Idles at 25c. Obviously much cooler because there's no wireless card heating it up on that side.

    My Cpu sits between 24-26c idle, and 30c with light work. My GPU sits around 46c idle. (8600 GS)
