    I believe my HD (toshiba 250gb) is running a little hot, so I'd like other owners of the dv2000 series to comment on their HD temps.

    Mine used to run quite cool - about 40c. Then starting a few days ago, it idles at 54 - 55c, and runs as hot as 63c.

    My machine is a few weeks old and the processor is running significantly cooler (45c).

    I also have a toshiba 250gb (dv2890ca) mine idle around 40 and runs around ~50. On my old one (dv2412ca) it run up to ~60 because it was an AMD Athlon 2x, that one died :mad: cause of the motherboard died and it was related to the nvidia stuff.

    I think you better call them up to ask for a refund/exchange or a repair imho.

    It's really a mystery...

    I really hope HP to confirm the fact that hard drives in some laptops run at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius and hope it to provide more information about it.

    I thought it could be HP's design flaw, but then I saw some people with very cool hard drives in the same type of laptop.

    I thought it could be just the hard drive, but then I saw some people who had the same problem saying that changing hard drives doesn't help at all.
