its a HP Pavilion dv5 and its giving me hell its been formatted 3 times this week
the screen keeps flickering to the point i cant see what I'm doing so looks like it needs a new one.

was over heating after 10mins surfing on net or using my photo shop and shutting down that part solved by putting a big fan behind laptop to keep it cool

now it just random shut downs some times with blue screen of death and some times with windows message saying some thing about an illegal operation then zap of it goes

and the latest thing when i hit the power button to start it up the lights come on but nothing happens for 45 mins to a hr till the fan goes mad then i turn it off and back on it then boots up

i think i killed it lol
