Poor drawbridgep was totally unaware of this due to occupational problems (having a job sucks) and unable to assist dear friend with questions, coupled with the fact that I don't really know the answers and anything I've produced in Yafray is more luck than judgement. I don't find putting a laptop on the balcony strange at all. I've tried putting mine next to an open fridge (didn't help), I've tried resting a fan against the intakes (helped a lot) and I've tried a cooling pad with fans (sucked donkeys). Eventually cut it apart and stuck the fans (powered by USB) directly onto the intake. Worked like a charm. I tried my laptop a few days back and after sitting gathering dust for 6 months, it won't even idle for more than 10 minutes without over heating. Moving to Romania though wasn't really a solution I considered.

Normal Body Temperature should be 37 C so your not doing too bad.

-10 is not good for the laptop. Keep an eye on it, I once had someone put a laptop in their trunk overnight in 14F weather, and overnight their LCD became an SCD (Solid Crystal Display)..crunchy, but useless.. check the web sites for ordinary temperatures that you're supposed to use, the thermal stress may not be good for it. (Not to mention they'll give you a hard time and say you invalidated your warranty..:|
I usually tell folks that if they're uncomfortable with the termperature, their PC may be as well. Hope you get to feeling better..

hmm come live in my place draculaz.t can be 40 degrees Celsius outside but in my house it will be 25 degrees Celsius. No airconditioner or anyother means of keeping the house cool other than natural, can't even open the windows(cause there ain't none):) Now if there any Australian members on here they will know what my house is. I live at Lightening Ridge.

accidently found a strange solution out here.. place my laptop on a glass table.. and place the table under the AC..but not directly under the draft..works.. the glass gets cold, and in turn..cools the laptop off... :-) I flunked science, btw... Drac.. take take care..and for lands sake..why were you out in the freezing cold with a temp???

Usually LCDs come back to life once warmed up to normal temp. You just don't want to expose them to shock while in the frozen state (physical or thermal). Condensation after bringing a cold laptop back indoors is the real threat to watch out for. As for a fever, make some soup. You'll avoid dehydration that way and it probably has stuff in it that's good for you. Then try to sleep it off.
