BSOD on HP Elitebook, Overheating errors attached
Windows 7 Professional x86
-x86
-Has original system OS installed
-OEM version
-Age of the hardware is approximately 1 year 4 months.
-OS install was approximately the same time.
My work laptop is dual booted with Windows 7 Enterprise x86 and Windows 7 Professional x86. The cpu monitor gadget, which I run on both platforms, tells me pretty much when this error is going to happen.
Laptop will slow to almost a stop and the cpu meter will go all the way to 100%.
This is one of two things that will happen. This happens every time I'm on my Windows 7 Professional OS. This has only happened one time on my Enterprise OS. Granted I use the Professional OS at home and the Enterprise at work (on a docking station at work).
The second error, which is not common but has happened twice, is a slow crackling in the speakers followed by a BSOD. I have attached a screen shot of what I could salvage of said BSOD once the system restarts.
Any information would be much appreciated. Onsite HP guy doesn't have a clue. Thinks it might be heatsink/videocard related. I think the processor overheated and now overheats everytime it's on.
