I had overclocked it to 850/950, and it was running stable without overheating. I had noticed an improvement of 10-20% in FPS in most of the games.

i am going to overclock my gpu (6770m) to 825/900 is it safe ? overclocking will decrease the life of gpu ?
Are you not satisfied by 6770's performance? Overclocking will stress the already stressed HP's components! Especially the mobo.

Overclocking on a laptop is not really a good idea. Besides te 6770 is no slouch in the first place. Is the additional stress you are putting on the mobo worth those few extra fps. that's what you need to ask yourself first. BTW if you have an extended warranty, then i guess it makes a little more sense.

IMO, now you need not to overclock. Current games are playable.
For newer games that 6770 struggles to run, you may want to overclock.

I have noticed that sometimes when I use MTS MBlaze USB modem to access internet, I get a Blue Screen.I am unable to error report as I get the error message "Problem connecting to the Windows Error Reporting service", when I click on Check for Solutions in the Maintenance section in Action Center.

Hi friends this is a gr8 thread... I am buying a new laptop on wednesday next week... I am confused between hp 6165 and asus n55sf. Please suggest which one should i opt for. I am skeptical about hp since my last compaq laptop had motherboard failures twice in 2 years. And plus some heating issues as well in hp. Please suggest friends...
Yes. Google for how to read DMP files. Also check event viewer.
No reason to chose DV6 over N55sf.

As far as the performance of the laptop is concerned,it is great.I have been using the laptop for 4 months without any problem.I play all games at max graphics.No heating issues have been observed.The max gpu temperature reached is 70 degrees and CPU's is 72 degrees in this hot summer month in non ac room.I have kept the maximum processor utilization at 80 % .
Its up to the user to maintain the laptop properly and not use it like a bat.
