    The most popular method to fix it is putting it on the oven at about 385* F for 5-10min..There is a guide on how to do it and usually some people are able to fix the gpu problem for some time.

    This is ridiculous..

    When I called the Executive office i mentioned how if they look on forums they will see countless people experiencing problems (since they refused to help) and they said something along the lines of "forums dont mean anything". I said something like "forums are the USERS buddy". BS

    And I just bought another HP lol, but this one with the 4500mhd GPU, which almost every laptop uses, so I ASSUME itll be ok!

    yep, you have the nvidia defect - you either have to use the baking method above, or pay HP 400 dollars for a new mobo

    you can find more help from people with the same problem here:
