My brother is planning on actually frying an egg on his dv2500's video card. He even said he'd youtube it. I think the world needs to see this.

	danineteen wrote at 4:29am Jan 4 I don't HP computers are the only ones. My MacBook gets pretty hot when I'm running a lot of applications. I try to refrain from keeping on my legs for too long or else I'd burn. If your brother DOES every fry an egg on the video card, make sure you link us to the youtube vid!

	information wrote at 4:54am Feb 8 funny, but it's worth noting that hp and probably all other manufacturers state that notebook computers should not be used on your lap for heat and ergonomic reasons. if you do want to use it on your lap it should be placed on a hard surface such as a hardback book or tray. never on anything soft like a pillow because this will block the air vents.

I recall discovering at the time that this is actually an odd Vista-related driver issue; as random as that sounds. Downgrading to XP might also solve it. No idea if it's relevant and/or helpful to you.

I actually had burn marks on my legs for a few months. Dumb thing to do but after I realized what it was though I stopped keeping my laptop in my lap and all better now (: Guess I could've sued! Oh man, I shoulda!!

	lolwut wrote at 2:17pm Apr 21 I've to a HP pavilion dv5 w/ vista and when I put the battery settings on high performance or balanced, it gets hotter than Jessica Alba's lower back.

	Zack wrote at 12:07pm May 23 It's not only the dv series-- I had a Pavillion, too, which I considered using as a cooking device many times. Every HP laptop I've ever owned has been prone to getting hot. I am now typing this on a dv8000 where I can actually feel the heat of the innards through the keyboard. Oh, and the power brick? Don't even look at it funny or you'll lose a fingerprint. I still love HP laptops though!


	CPU in heat wrote at 5:59am May 31 Bazis wrote at 5:09pm Feb 13 Change the thermal paste, and you will forget about overheating... Laptops don't use thermal paste. Laptops use thermal pads. Learn your ABCs prior to giving retarded advice to people. On a side note, I am yet to see a dual core laptop that does not have heating issues. Some single core laptops did overheat, but then manufacturers just decided to stick a CPU with 2 cores in without changing a thing about cooling system. As long as it's glossy and slick - people will buy it. meh...


	piclemaniscool wrote at 4:58pm Jun 1 its black and shiny! Therefore, if I buy it, I'll be the coolest person in town! And if my thighs look like baked ham, i could explain that my AWESOME HP laptop has a capability of over 115 degrees F! that is my one problem with my hp. now that its spring, and soon summer, i have to put things under it because it overheats even with only a flat desk at a room temperature of 75 deg.


	Llama0wn3d wrote at 2:08am Jun 16 I have a dual-core vaio and that never overheats - I even blocked the vent by accident and apart from slowing down a bit it didn't do anything. ^^


	Anonymous wrote at 11:48am Oct 20 I used some canned air and it now runs much cooler. Looks like there was just enough dust in there to mess up the performance of the fan. (This is a dv2500 / dv2940se)
