I have the DV5129US which develop overheating issues after reinstalling the OS. Mine didn't reboot like you guys but instead would run everything at a crawl. Before I could run 720p video file fine but now it barely wanted to open a program and the harddrive was access like crazy when opening notepad. After reading about the thermal paste here, I tried that but it didn't help any either. I remember when I was running Ubuntu or reinstalling the OS, everything was fine again.

Like Larry, I was going to reinstall the OS but remembering him writing about the "driver being scramble" so I tried going into the device manager and uninstalling some of the drivers like the harddrive, nic, and some random one under the system and rebooted. After the computer restarted, most of the driver was reinstalled automatically except the modem driver which was missing files. Once all the drivers was reinstalled, everything ran fine. I'm typing in Firefox while watching a movie and having some other program running in the background, everything is running like it used to.

Hope this help some of you. Please reply if it does.
