This was a Valentine's day gift for my wife 3 years ago (2008). I have never given her a 'hotter' gift. I have tried everything, taken this thing apart, cleaned the heatsink, put thermal paste.....but to no avail.

It is now , as someone said earlier a 600 dollar thermal paperweight.

 

Do enough research before you buy Laptops. I wish I was aware of the hp settlement earlier. Someone mentioned video card problems, but I would beg to differ, the CPU core temperature just escalates to a point when the laptop just shuts down. It takes all of 10 minutes to happen. I hate throwing away things, but this is a safety hazard.

Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for Hewlett-Packard.
