anything P4 will overheat. true story.

Computer blood?

Assuming some transformer or something in there. I didn't spill anything on it. Just one day it wouldn't turn on and i noticed that. I opened the HDD/RAM panel, and I could see this stuff all over the RAM and motherboard.

Well I've had 2 Asus gaming laptops (in a 15" and 17" variety), currently have an HP Envy 15". Has an i7 and 5870m mobile graphics, and it gets hot enough to literally burn someone. Picked it up used off of eBay for 600 bucks and I've gotten about 2 years out of it so far. Only reason I even got a powerful laptop was because at the time I had a 5gb data limit from my verizon 3g internet, so I wanted something strong enough to game on when I went places with wifi (like school or visiting my parents in NY.) Now that I've moved up by campus and have real internet, that's not an issue anymore, but likely won't sell the HP just because buying a smaller lighter one to replace it would probably cost as much as I could sell the HP for.

I'd still take my desktop over any laptop though.

The HP Envy's are nice. I order those for our VP's in my office.

how ironic that a 3/s owner would have similar problems with pc to what 50% of 3/s owners have with their ecu's....

sounds like your HP is similarly spec'd to my GX660R. 5870 is a fantastic GPU, btw...stable as a mutherfucker. HP's are all clevo's though. Just like Dell's, Alienware, etc.

Oh it's a fantastically quick laptop, and plenty of grunt to get shit done. unfortunately with a metal case and just a handful of vents around the sides, it really can't evacuate enough air, especially since the i7 is one of the first gens and the 5870 is well..a 5870. Both components are known for running hotter than hell.

I like MSI, but I've had strange issues with some of their stuff. I currently have an EVGA card, but I've had issues with one of EVGAs motherboards.

Luck of the draw with any of the big name manufacturers at this point, IMO. If you buy the cheapo brands, good luck.

Got an email back from MSI regarding my RMA for my HD7950.
They don't have any stock and are offering me $280. Far less than I paid for the card and would only allow me to afford a gtx760 or r9 270x, both of which are downgrades. NOT happy with MSI atm.
