Well, what you comment is difficult to diagnose. Years ago HP struggled with computers with this processor but it was by overheating GPU that is soldered to the motherboard. This is true for certain models of GPUs from nVidia, but I don't know if this is your case, you didn't specify the model of your laptop. If the problem were the CPU as you suspicious, you can get another one used (it is very difficult to find a new one in 2015) easily from Amazon or eBay and installation is not difficult. The hard part is to access it, because HP has an awfule design and practically you have to gut the entire laptop to do it. Good luck. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
