I've had my laptop for about 2 1/2 years now. It's not the top of the line laptop, but it does what I need it to do and more depending on the circumstances.

Now that its at that age, upgrading is the best choice for me, but due to lack of money, I won't be going down that road for a while.

Here is my problem.

I recently upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium. When I first upgraded, the machine went through its normal paces just fine. It booted up a little faster, the screen was clearer, and it didn't bug out on me like Vista did.

Now, for some reason, what I believe to be my CPU fan is constantly running at full strength. The only times it ever did this was either during a quick run of Team Fortress 2, or even watching a long movie off of a DVD, but now its doing it even as I type this post. The only things primarily using my CPU are Google Chrome, Trillian, and the usual startup programs associated with 7.

What can I do to get this overheating to stop?

Here are my specs for my laptop:

HP Pavilion dv6000 series

AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 (1.9GHz)

2.69 GB useable RAM

Windows 7 Home Premium

nVidia GeForce Go 6150

All help is appreciated!

[QUOTE="Shermans_HUD"]I do, but its still annoying. Plus, they posted a 37% profit loss so why are they going to spend money to improve 2 things?izdan

so people will buy it

Don't you think if they save their money and roll it into something else, we may have better first-party titles sooner than next year or 2 years from now?

If I was to buy a DS (When that one is released), I would buy the normal DSi.

The new one is just way to big. It looks rediculous.

I will seriously hate Nintendo if they give this new DSi better features than the old one.

So far the only two things they are changing are the larger screens and the larger stylus

I'm a little shocked, but not confused, as to Nintendo coming out with a larger DSi. A larger screen and a larger stylus will make some things better...

But are they both really needed? I mean, the DSi has only been out about 6-7 months anyway, and they're deciding to give it another makeover.

What do you think about the announcement?

[QUOTE="Freaky-N-Nasty"]Well my friend and I were playing firefight and wow did it lag like hell...Do all halo games lag like this on XBL? Anywho ill give this expansion pack a 7.5/10Couth_

It lagged for me too. I noticed it primarily on Crater (day and night). Its just a server issue that should be fixed in the coming weeks.

Gears of War 1 is a good one. My suggestion is borrow a friends GameStop EDGE Card. 10% off of Used video games!
