Well, in first place it shows that disabling APM in order to get rid of
the death of click issue as has been introduced as the recommended fix,
so far, just lets another problem surface, which is the unfortunate
temperature increase. The most relevant challenge is to find a proper
balance between an excessive load cycle count and exaggerated heat effects.

I have no idea about how to find out the APM settings in WinXP, as i am
not well acquainted with this OS. I tried to check it with a win32
version of hdparm, but it doesn't show any values for the -B switch. Is
there any other way to properly check this in WinXP?
