Ok, the problem with those Laptops is the Nvidia chip over-heating and losing contact with the board. Trust me I had to repair my wifes after spending two hours with HP customer-not-support. I was kindly informed that the extended warranty has expired and the repair would cost me almost $300. Hers is the DV9000 but it happens to the DV6000 and many other models including Compaq.
The problem is the cooling unit (NOT ENOUGH COOPER) they use the same cooper pipe for the CPU and GPU. The GPU does not have cooper contact with heat sink but ruther a little piece of thermal pad that touches the heat sink.
HP is aware of this problem that is why they have done the Bios update and your laptop will sound like a helicopter.
AND NO THE MOTHERBOARD DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED THERE IS A WAY TO FIX IT.
If you are in the Atlanta area you can contact me we do repair those laptops and fix the cooling issue at almost 1/3 of the price of HP.

Goro....
How long have your repairs lasted. I had a new chip and reflow done twice at a shop in Dallas. Repairs do not last.
