Has anyone with 6017 or 6121 has had heating issues. I own a 3016tx, and on the outside it remains cool at all times, only the right side near the LCd becomes slightly (veryslightly) warm, but i have seens laps running much warmer than this.
I used to find that Dirt 2 sometimes crashes (independent of the level of eye candy on)and the msg would be "driver stopped responding". i used to think it was only a driver issue until yesterday, when i noted that at all those crashes, the CPU temp was 75C (GPU maxes at a cooler 67C). AFAIK anything below 80C is not very alarming for a CPU.
So i'd like to know if any of you has had such issues.
There is one more interesting point- the crash always occurs at a transition point from or to a race. i mean, at the screen (with the world map) where it shows your level and the drivers list etc. FRAPS shows that its also the part where the FPS is highest, therefore indicating lowest GPU load.
Now i'm confused.
I had earlier checked the cpu temp after running them at a ~97% load for close to 20 min, and the max temp i found was 67C (i was overjoyed). This problem with the game occurs in sometimes as fast as about2 min into the game

Try updating your graphics driver from the HP website for your model.

It works on mine. The display turns off, and to bring it back i have to press Esc key.

Err..r.. Correct me if I'm wrong. Since you have 6 partitions in your HDD already. This implies that 3 are primary partitions and one is extended. Latter is further knifed in 3 logical volumes. There must be no problem with splitting it further. From where did dynamic counter-part cropped in?

check if your hp coolsense is in performance mode and not in the coolest or the quiet modes.
Click on the battery icon in the system's tray and select high performance.

Did he use the right port? The USB 3.0 ports are on the left of the laptop.
