Laptop back from HP
My laptop returned from the HP Service Center yesterday. Unfortunately all they replaced was the GPU fan which means they took care of one of the symptoms but not the cause. Had laptop on last night for a few hours and the temp got up to 72 deg C which while hot is not anywhere near as hot as it was getting before hand. However, my laptop did spontaneously shut itself down a few times which was odd. So, we will see what happens in the next few weeks.

What!? I am SOOOO sorry this whole ordeal has been such a headache.
My dad just had to buy a new computer because the motherboard on his "old" computer - just one year old and JUST past warranty! - died. It would have cost about $400 to fix, but a new computer from Costco cost $600! His problems started with the computer spontaneously shutting itself down, apparently due to overheating. :(
He didn't have an HP did he? I hope not because that's what many people are having problems with -- overheating and the computers shutting themself down. HP's standard answer appears to be that it's $400 to repair however if you push back they will do it for free. It just takes time. And patience.
