asus m6ne notebook overheating
i just got a brand new asus m6ne notebook with a dothan 1.7Ghz cpu 1GB pc2700 ram 60GB HD and a mobility radeon 9700. now im having a problem with this thing overheating. im running asus probe and it seems that when i leave the comuter idle the temp will start off around 52C then slowly climb until about 68C where the cpu fan finally turns on. problem is sometimes when it reaches this temp windows will restart or errors start coming up. especially when i run a demanding application the temp will skyrocket into the mid 70s before shutting down. if theres anyway to make the cpu fan turn on earlier or just make it run all the time that would be great. ive already looked threw the bios and updated bios. no luck. thanks guys.

It's not overheating. The CPU is spec'd for 100*C. Either the cpu temperature protection is kicking in too early, or there's another problem.
Anyhow, when you say "brand new", how old is it exactly- a few days, a week, a month? If it's more than a week or two old, it could be dust buildup on the heatsink (laptops are especially sensitive to this). Let me see if I can find some pictures of the notebook and possibly come up with a better solution.
Humans are spec'd to about 109*F internal. Brain damage can start at 107*F. Not a direct analogy, but it makes a bit of sense.

If that says you have memory errors then we know what we need to fix... otherwise maybe it is just overheating. Have you talk to the people from where you bought it? Any hopes of getting it looked at?
I doubt this'll help but good luck.
