Question:
Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
What's going on?
Already went to HP who instructed me to update the bios, perform a power drain
DV6258SE / Vista
Core temp derived from "core temp .95"
Answer:
Re: Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
A core temp of that high is normal. CPU temp is usually measure in celsius, and anything below 60C is normal operation. 60C = 140F.

Re: Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
front left of PC (top and bottom) get REALLY hot
stuck a digital therm under the PC... it stopped reading at 107 deg F

Re: Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
Hmm, that sounds odd. Are the fans spinning on the inside?
Answer:
Re: Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
yes... its hotest under the pc in the front left corner

Re: Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
That is probably where the CPU is located. Run this program (CPU-Z), and see if the CPU is clocked correctly. The only two things that I think could cause that kind of problem is no fan activity, or an in-correctly clocked chip. The FSB should be running at 166 MHz for a Core 2 Duo, the CPU multiplier should be in the 10 - 14 range, and the voltage should be about 1.35V. If your not sure of what this means, please post a screen shot of the readout of CPU-Z.

Charr, Thanks for the info... here's the results.

Re: Core temp = 115 deg F and 122 deg F
Everything is in order, chip is even downclocked because of your power settings. If it is not a fan problem, I honestly don't know. Check if your vents are clear, and spary some pressurized air in it.
