Any suggestions on what to do with a computer that's running hot? Specifically it's one of my hard drives (my second drive, thank goodness). It's running right now at 48° (has been as high as 55°) whereas the master drive is running at 43°. The MB sensors are at 35°, 32° and 37°, so I don't think they're the problem. I first noticed my comp. running erratically yesterday afternoon. Today I have the cover off and it seems to help a little.

(feh: as I type this, the sensor dropped from 48° to 39°. Now I'm even more confused.)

Don't really want to buy a new HD, but if I have to, I will.

(double feh: the sensor jumped from 39° to 50°.) Methinks my drive is getting flaky. Sigh.
