my new laptop has the sis(630) chipset and would overheat within 10-15 minutes. the first repair didn't fix the problem (at a shipping cost to me of $35.00). i had no choice but to send it back for another repair (with another $35.00 to ship). the mfg, embarrassed by the situation, upgraded the processor from 1.1 ghz to 1.3 ghz. i don't know what else they did (besides scratch up the top of the laptop), but it no longer overheats. rhetorically, is your box still under warranty?
I've just got noflushd going-this may help. I've searched the net for info about overheating and found little, although I did read one comment about todays fast processors being prone to the problem. Mine is a PIII (non-mobile). The warranty expired this month. I'm very unhappy with my support company and its unlikely I'll send it back to them. Likelihood of replacement is small. And it'll take a month.
