Be very careful overclocking a laptop. Even 'gaming' laptops have substandard heat control compared to desktops, and all laptops have a tendency to hit high temps due to a: lack of cooling/airflow and b: positioning (i.e. using on a bed, on your lap - basically anywhere there's low or no airflow underneath the unit.

Check any overclock with Prime95 for stability and heat, and watch it like a hawk until you're certain you're not overheating the chips.
