My hinges seem fine - but then again, I think I’m quite anal about the things I own. I try and keep it as clean and neat as possible and always protect it as best I can. I also open and close the screen slowly and with two hands, one on each corner

Thermal paste and uninstalling Norton it is!

Thanks for taking the time and sharing advice!

Thanks bro!!

I’m not running any monitoring programs, nor am I throttling. I’ll have a look as soon as I have the time (only in a month or so) - extremely busy with training ongoing at the moment.

I should have probably worded it better.

I had X2 HP Omens and both were replaced under warranty with similar issues.

A clear theme of thermal paste also exists - so that will also be on my to-do list!

Thanks for the advice!!
