    Hi There!

    My notebook feels very hot since I upgraded it to Windows 8 Pro x64 and the fan seems like it's almost always on in cycles. So it starts, runs for a while and then calms down.

    Is there something I can configure to stop that from happening, or is there a reason the notebook is so hot? New drivers perhaps?

    Thanks in advance.
