    try getting the dust out of the machine with compressed air or taking the bottom chassis of and doing the same, maybe a repaste on the cpu could help. Maybe change the screensaver as well? Lol

    no for the bottom it should be as simple as taking of a few screws, and re-paste, i recommend you googling "thermal repaste" i've never attempted it so I can't give you informative advice.

    This is the service manual for dv6-2000 series, pretty much same as yours.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01860375.pdf

    To get to the heat sink assembly, you need to dismantle whole laptop. Pictures of the assembly at pages 4-40 and 4-41.

    Even that heat sink assembly itself you have to take apart, since the dust gathers inside it. Blowing it with compressed air just pushed the dust into the fan, worst case blocking it from spinning.
