    Hi all! I have the dv6-7000. When I game, my CPU temperature gets very high to the point where the computer will crash. Cool Sense doesn't seem to do anything to control this and I have not found a way to control the built in fan. I would mess around with the heat sink, but I am under warranty with Square Trade and I do not want to void it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!

    Well if that is the case send it back to them and tell them until they fix the overheating then you should get your refund and you will buy another laptop that will not overheat and crash when you game with it......
