Re: how to detect laptop hardware/drive problems?



That the slow down happens after a while suggests that its a temperature
thing.

I'll keep an eye on that and see...

The drive reving I would guess is swapping happening re the browser
needing to page memory in or out.  Does it happen if you're not using X
but only console?  Its spin and pause is to save your battery.  If
you're on AC there is probably a way to have it not spin-down (uses more
juice but easier on the drive motor).

I'll look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,

Tyle
