my laptop dv6 3124tx is also start overheating 1 week back , 2 days ago while working on a project ,i found that my task manger is now disabled ,and then i try registry solution ,and find out that it is fine , than i download antimalwarebytes software and scan my pc and i found the culprit it was a virus blocking my task manager ,when i deleted the virus and restart my pc its working like other laptop of mine.

 

if your task manager is disabled or not just perform a quick scan from anti malware bytes once

 

also use speedfan program and set it to automatic

 

hope this is helpful

Hi, EveryOne I also Had a pavillion DV6 with the same overheating Problem, have a intelcore i7 Q720 1.60 gh

and a GPU AMD Radeon HD 5600.

 

My usual temperatures where from 45 / 55ºC on idle to 65/and more doing some simple task like browsng skyping or watching something on youtube...  The cause is the poor Thermal paste that HP put betwen the Cpu/GPu and the Heatsink, this **bleep** didnt conduct heat at all.... so Every now and then the computer shut down to avoid burn the cpu... I bought a Laptop Chill Mat to ease a bit the temperatures but only by 5 degrees,

 

So right After My  Warranty expired I decided to replace the **bleep**ty thermal Compound to see if it Worked Better.. And  OH BOY that Really Has Made the diference... right now im getting Idles betwenn 30/35ºC Sometimes I also have seen 25ªC!!! Really close to room temperature... And Playing Battlefield3 on medium Settings for a couple of Hours i Got a maximum of 69ºC on Cpu and 79ªC on GPu  Really far away from the 100ªC wich cause it to shut down...

 

So if You really want your laptop to last long i strongly Recomend to do this procedure....

 

I have Cleaned the Fan and replaced the existing Thermal paste for Arctic Cooling MX-4, most reviews say that is the best thermal Compound available on the market... 

 

For those who are afraid to disasemble the laptop (as I Was) I found this Video of a guy Making exactly that and its really easy to follow

Also for the procedure of apply the thermal paste found this Great demostration about various ways to do it

also i remind you that if you open you laptop you loose any maufacturer warranty So recomend to do this only if you warranty therm has expired...

i don't see where to change the cooling

To remedy my problem, I turn the CPU performance to 90% in the Power management setting in Control Panel.

My dv6000 with XP gets very hot, and the fan constantly runs and gets louder the longer the unit is on.  Read other posts about dust in vents, so I put vacuum cleaner hose to vents, to suck dust out.  May have helped a little bit - doesn't sound as loud now.

 

Also read about reducing CPU usage to 90% and changing cooling setting, as well as downloading driver for graphics chip.  But I don't know where to do that  - I don't see the ATI icon referred to, in my system tray.

  

Can anyone direct me?

 

Thanks in advance
