You can look at my thread:

and see if anything helps you there, since more than likley, your system is close to mine when it comes to hardware, thought there might be some differences.

Most of your drivers, I know, are included with Leo4All, iDeneb, and iPC, if you laptop is close to mine, then you should also have the same chipset, graphics, (probably use NVidia Go and WIFI and Nforce ehternet.

Hello PumaspeedDrift even i have the same configuaration just like u but my problem is everything works with the use of "idlehalt=0" and with its use fan never switches off, its always on and generates lot of heat, so i just wanna know are u too using this same boot command or is there any other procedure to use leo without the use of idlehalt=0. any help would be appreciated mate

Yes, I currently use the "idlehalt=0", I have not tried my system without yet, might have to give that a try, now that you mention it, and see what happens. But so far, I haven't really noticed anything out of the ordinary per say --heat wise--.

Also I am currently using iDeneb 10.5.7, so don't know if that makes any big difference to not either.
