I'm doing a favor for a friend here. He has an HP Pavilion (D6000 I think) and when I saw him a few weeks ago he said there was something wrong with it. It was a little slow on the boot but as soon as hit the desktop the fan went to 100%. I paid it little mind because PC fans at 100% are something I know very well (perhaps too well...) I went to download speccy to monitor the temperatures to see exactly what I was dealing with. (we were at a campground and wifi was bad) so after about 5 minutes the heat coming out of the fan was blazing. I rushed through the install and checked the temps. I kid you not this thing was running at 205.F (right at the T.Junction) which then made me do a force shutdown to protect this thing from killing itself anymore. I start to crack it open because I needed to check the thermal paste application and after an extremely strenuous process of taking it apart I finally go to look at what I wanted. The thermal paste was actually decent. I didn't have any paste on me so repasting was out of the question and it didn't look like it would have helped anyway. I don't have any pictures of it reaching the T.Junction but it did in a matter of minutes. I have a few theories the one I am most confident with is that the CPU or something on the MOBO is faulty and is causing it to put out immense amounts of heat. I think the culprit is the CPU. I have no idea what socket this thing uses but because of the age of the laptop, the CPU is user Replaceable/Upgradeable. I am turning to you all once again and see what you guys think is the problem.
