I was also not considering the degradation in battery life to be a problem with the laptop, rather with my usage.

Flickering and all, u need to get it checked from HP support, its under warranty, it would be always best u get to know what problems u r getting before that warranty expires.
PM45 is stable chipset for lappys, is ur lappy getting heated alot even in normal usage. The heat can cause damage to the chipset(mobo and eventually will show up on screen and different places., have u got a laptop cooler if not then buy one.
Also it will be wise if you get the dust which wud have accumulated through the heat vent cleaned up

I was also thinking about taking it to service center. But the issue is how I show them, since this fllickering occurs rarely and totally random. Under normal operation (browsing, movies etc.), CPU temp is 50-60 degrees and GPU is 65. While defragmenting, CPU goes to 70-75, GPU @ 65. While gaming, within 30-40 minutes, it goes above 90. I will check once again today. I am in office right now.
I have a laptop stand (iBall's) with a USB fan. Will that be enough?
I will take it to service center this Saturday.
