HP 6735s is on fire!!!

Hi Guys,

Im new to the forum after a friends recommendation as i have a bit of a problem with my laptop.

When im under normal load ie: web browser, msn and media player I am seeing my core temp shoot up to around 92c!!!

This is causing intermittent shut downs and crashes and i was wondering if any one has any ideas on making it run cooler before i send it back to HP.

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

id guess your cpu heat sink isnt seated properly
unless your willing to void your warrenty you would need to send it back

I have wondered if it was seated properly as i had a similar problem in my desktop pc after replacing the cpu. I guess i better give HP a call then (after a massive hdd clean up )

Whats a normal/usual load temp on laptop? Im guessing around 70-75C? Id hate to see what it gets up to when im gaming, could prob boil water on the cpu!!!

dust in fans and on heatsink is usual cause

^ + subsequent failure of fan

Does anybody know what HP are like on returns? Like say if I complained til they were sick of me would they upgrade my smoking, red hot laptop for something a little bit cooler?
