Overheating laptop
I have a hp dv6t 2000, running windows 7 64 bit, with an intel i7 1.6 GHz processor, 6 GB of ram and the nvidia geforce gt 230m graphics card. The CPU maxes out whenever videos and even music is played. I usually have an external monitor plugged into the the vga port and sometimes I have to just unplug the external monitor and the cpu winds down. Even recently my cpu maxes out without the external monitor plugged in and video playing. There is no ventilation problems with where the computer is located. About a year ago when I started using the external monitor, I could use as many applications as I wanted to. The laptop is a little over 2 years old. Any suggestions?
