Hmm... Well it's beginning to sound like my suspicions could be correct. Thanks for the feedback thus far guys!

Does anyone happen to know for sure whether my temps of 55-62 degrees (and that's with sub 1.45 volts mind you) on the NB is "overly" hot? I guess ideally I'd just like a solid answer from someone who knows for certain. Hell, maybe that's not too bad of a temp at all. I'm just trying to figure out what's up with my stability problems.
