Hi,

I have an Acer Aspire 5738G, did vigorous stuff on the previous hard disk; it stood sound for 4 years then it started to fail. I replaced it with a Blue Western Digital 500GB.

The Seagate I had back in time, had no movement -like when you physically touch the HDD slot from the outside- but this WD feels like spinning. No biggie!

What's really big is this..
Long as I'm using the laptop, the HDD's temperature is "ok" bearable -a tiny bit overheated than before-, until I leave the laptop and it goes idle, and I come back to see it's madly overheated. Haven't measured anything but I guess your sensory neurons can tell there's something wrong.

So I don't know what's wrong and it happens only when I leave it idle, also, keep in mind I replaced the HDD newly so it can't be mistaken. I also keep a VERY GOOD monitoring over my active processes and it's not a virus NOR a hidden process. Also, new copy of windows and everything.

Here's HD Tune Pro's health analysis for my HDD after a restart:

Also, is this normal?

when I first had it, it was automatically set to turn off HDD after 15 minutes --overheated when idle. So I set it to "never" and it still gets overheated when idle.

HD Tune says my hard disk has no defects. If you can recommend any other software, please do.
