HI,
I have cured many laptop overheating issues by doing the following:
1. Disassembled laptop
2. Cleaned entirely with compressed air.
3. Replaced fan.
4. Replaced Thermal compound (arctic silver 5)
5. Added copper shims to CPU and Video chips.
6.Reduced "Maximum processor state"
7. Even drilled holes in bottom of laptop to let more air in.
This has solved laptop overheating issues 99.9% of the time..
The overheating issues are well known with the HP dv2-dv7 series, as is the class action law suit against them...
I have an HP Pavilion DV7 which I have done all the above to and its still overheating!
Anyone have any useful recommendations of some magical aid besides a cooling pad, external fan etc
Thanks!
