Yes, a notebook.

I've been lucky for the last hour after it had been going on for a few hours in a row.

I'm just going to call them tomorrow and see what they say. I've since found out that I can disable the message.

Nothing is even remotely warm ... I'm monitoring CPU and all and everything seems normal.

I really don't want to ship this back so I'm going to ask if maybe there is so way to get a promise that they'll fix it in x amount of time if it really ends up being a real problem.

My old laptop used to get REALLY hot but I still didn't have any problems. That thing was going on three years old I think and was faithful and served me well until the very end. It still runs great and is fast, just with so many corrupted files it's hard to do anything other than surf the web without getting BSOD.

Edit: based on what I've been reading, with Toshiba notebooks it may be more of a sensor issue than an actual overheating problem. I'll ask them when I call...it seems common enough that they'll know what I'm talking about ... although a lot of threads I read were from '06 ... you'd think they'd figure it out by now.
