since this is a laptop you are mentioning ..so using monitoring software to recommendable ..to monitor the cpu and hdd temp ... i use NHC (Notebook Hardware COntroller)

I'd like to ask , the laptop C2D produce hissing sound , I remember someone said you need to install software to recude the C4 bridge processor thing..

Anyone know what software was it ?

get core temp if you're using intel proc. very important to monitor your temp coz laptops are known to be hot. as for software; winrar, office, nero, directx. and anti virus. my main priority after every format
