    Hi,
    I've g7 with e2-3000m and a while back started having problems with it.
    It would overheat after a few hours, and then turn of on its own.
    That time shrank gradually to an amazing 2 minutes!!!

    I've taken it apart, it was not that dirty, but I cleaned it thoroughly.
    Reapplied new thermal paste, refastened heat sink quite carefully, and everything is the same!

    Removed everything, even the CMOS battery, memory, everything - same!

    Part of the heat sink around CPU heats up in like 30 sec, you can not hold your fingers on top of it. Heat pipe is heated for few centimeters, but cold after it. I think it just do not have enough time to transfer the heat. Fan is going like crazy after ~10s...

    Could the MB overheat CPU? Perhaps CPU is broken?!?! I can not wrap my head around this one...

    Any help, please!!!

    Is your computer still under the manufacturer's warranty? If so, try contacting them regarding this issue to see if maybe they can help you out.

    Perhaps, but HP service is not so good here, and I opened it, completly, does that void the warranty?
