    Unfortunately, you have an Nvidia GPU (either the geforce go 6150 or the 7200). Both GPU's are known to run hot and also part of the nvidia GPU manufacturing defect. The options you have is to either do the copper shim modification for the heatsink (check the web & forums...there are instructions on how to do this). Additionally, make sure you have the newest bios available since HP did set the fan to run always which will help a little bit to prolong the life of the system.
