    I have a dv6 t6400 with ati 4530. I can use my laptop on "performance mode" all the time. Somehow when ever i try to use battery or balanced mode, my flash videos or my video files stuck, fps is less then 5.
    I dont know how to use this laptop cooler, even i already changed cpu paste/gpu lately.

    I'm guessing you've updated the drivers? Flash has hardware acceleration on ATI hardware now... really no reason for it to stutter, since even the T6400 can handle a flash video on software decoding.

    Put your notebook on balanced mode, start up a flash video or something, then look at CPU usage... what is it averaging?

    Check if the fan/heatsink is clocked with dust.
