Hello everyone, I made this mistake and bought a second HP Compaq notebook after first one died out on me. But whatever it was not too bad here are the related specs: AMD Turion 64 X2 1.61 GHz 1.5 GB of RAM 256 MB NVidia Geforce Go 6150 First of all, the laptop overheats. With that I mean as shown in Display Settings, GPU core temperature reaches about 120 C. That is one problem. Other one and probably the most irritating one is that whenever I play a game, after 10 minutes or so games slows down, starts to skip as if my graphics card is not good enough to play. But I do play smooth initially for some time. When it does that, I minimize the game, close the lid and wait for couple minutes. After that it is fine again. If I don’t do that after a little while whole system freezes, forcing me to restart. Did anyone have these problems? Or any suggestions? I use XP but I have the same problems on Ubuntu it doesn’t matter. Oh, it is Compaq Presario V3000. Thanks.
