Hi KevinAu,

Please share the system model and operating system installed. 

May I know which utility are you using to check the temperature of computer?

Are you facing system overheating issues? If yes, please ensure that the vents of the system are clean and allow free circulation of air inside the system. You may use a can of compressed air to clean the vents. Before you clean the air vents of system:

1. Turn off the System.
2. Unplug the AC Adapter.
3. Remove the Battery.

For more information on cleaning the vents, please visit the following link: http://dell.to/SAep59 

Please share the findings.

I learned to do the Sudarshan Kriya and was told by my instructor to practice it daily, but for some reason I can´t explain I don´t feel comfortable doing it. So I am looking for alternative techniques to do at home that might help me with my depression. I was referred to this web page by a former AoL teacher who recomended me the EE technique.
