I do and I bought my laptop in december. If it is overheating I don't understand why it wasn't built properly to withstand a simple game or program.

Add me to your list, Pavillion-dv4-1275mx, first purchased in January 09, then took it to service and they could not fix, so they gave me this one in April 09....warranty just expired in April 10.

I had a Compaq which had the exact same issue and now I am dealing with a Pavillion that has the same. I was talking to a local computer repairman and he said he has seen six such motherboard issues within the last month and we live in a very small town. These mobos are notorious.

I just found out that Dell has the same problem with their NVIDEA cards and they are taking care of their customers. They apparently had a better service deal with NVIDEA then HP and are taking care of their customers.

Best knows about the problem. I took mine in to them and they didn't even look at it before telling me I had a fried mother board. They play dumb too.

Count me in. I have a pavillion DV9005ca that is completely dead. It started to show the symptons covered in the "Service Emhancement" only 3 months after it ran out but because I barely used the laptop, I figured that it should still be covered. Got off the phone with the "Customer Escalation Team" and they said..... too bad...so sad.  Now I have a $1000 doorstop. I'm going to tell anyone I come in contact with to STAY AWAY FROM HP!!!!!!   They don't support their products even after they admit that there is a problem. $1000 for 2 years of minimal use is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!.  You would think that a HUGE company like HP would be more ethical.
