DV6000T Overheating Problem

[Lull_Basheera]

Hello,

I have had my DV6000T for about 2 years now and for the past year or so, it has been overheating. When it overheats, it shuts down on its own. Although all fans are running fine and I recently cleaned the dust vents, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Here are the specs:

Processor: Intel T7200

Bios: F.13 - 01/02/07

I am getting very frustrated at this problem. I would highly appreciate any help I can on this.

Thanks!

I have the same issue this is a faulty motherboard issue. Suppose to only effect AMD processors but it is a issue on all..message me and will give you more information.

yep, both my dv 6000 and dv 6700 started getting real hot just before themother board died.  HP says too bad, so sad.  not buying another hp

there is an issue with AMD processor m/b not having enough heat-transfer goo applied during manufacture.  if you know someone who is COMPETENT, have them open up your laptop, clean the processor and heat-sink and add the transfer compound correctly.   Too much is worst than a little too little.  (make sure the intake is clear and the radiator is clear with a couple of blasts of can-of-air).

as an addition, and incidently a kind of a "hack", I have "repaired" numerous units by also adding compound to the transfer linkage to the radiator and fan assembly, assuring very adequate heat transfer.  Then use real duct-tape, the mirror shiny stuff the a/c guys use, not the dull gray stuff everyone uses for all kinds of repairs, to seal the compound around the linkage and prevent any "accidental" leakage onto the m/b.  The difference is the real stuff won't disintegrate from heat but will actually transfer the heat better to the radiator and contribute to disappating the processor and heat-sink heat.

good luck
