Thanks for the inputs. I bought a USB powered cooling pad but that didn't make any difference. As time has gone on the Computer started locking up while I was using it. With HP Service help (they have been great and anxious to help and verify the fix) I booted up and immediately started pressing F11 which took me to a screen to begin reloading Windows Vista and all the preload programs. Although this is extreme and I lost all my applications I had loaded myself, it seems to have solved the problem (at least for now). HP is calling me every week for 3 weeks to check on status.
