rdramirez, the DV5 series has a problem with overheating. This is most likely caused by the size and location of the aperture for air. Anyhow, I suggest that you follow these steps to clean your laptop and to reapply thermal paste. Of course, HP is not oblivious to this problem and create this guide.
