Thanks for your reply Rafael. However, I was looking for a generic solution. I don't have an nx6325 but was thinking of purchasing a laptop and was afraid that ACPI could damage / overheat by CPUs. I think the link you provided is specific to the nx6325 unless I'm mistaken. Is there any generic solution? Would recompiling the DSDT and re-inserting it guarantee that no overheat / damage happens regardless of the laptop / machine? Thanks. On Thu, 12 Oct 2006 16:46:19 +0200, "Rafael J.
