yes, only happens during gameplay as thats the only graphic intensive activity i suppose.
Its a laptop. disassemble is not something Id like to do. I just cant flip it over and pull the back off and gain access to everything, it has all these ridiculous parts to it, probably to keep the consumer from taken it apart. what i was able to piece off i cleaned out with a can of air. I bought my laptop back in 2008/2009 and it came with win 7 upgrade. 2010 would of been the last time it was opened by a certified tech for a broken screen.
shouldn't the thermal paste last indefinitly? i never heard of needing to add more on.
does it sound like it could be anything else? i only ask because if i try take my laptop apart i might brick it and its not under warranty and i cant afford to take it to some over-charging computer tech.
thanks for the reply though!
