Hi I have a MSI GX630. it has a AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 processor @ 2.0GHz, 4GB of RAM but I'm running a 32-bit version of Win7 and a 9600m GT GPU with 512MB VRAM.
Up until recently I used it to play games such as Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty 6, but then I began to have temperature problems where I saw the CPU at 100 degrees and more for simple web-browsing while the graphics card was at 50 degrees. I came to this forum and was advised to change the thermal compound (as I had had my heat sink lifted off in an attempt to fix the overheating problem).
Upon changing the thermal compound I saw great results and my temperatures were great! When I played games my max temp for both CPU and GPU were 80 or maybe a little bit more in harsh conditions. I thought that was the end of my worries but after playing some CoD one day I realised that the computer froze. I thought this was just because I had played for too long and so I did a forced shutdown and left it to cool off. However, when I tried to turn it back on, nothing came up on the screen. The Caps-lock light and Hard Drive light flickered once and then were gone and the machine just sat there, not booting anything. The fan is spinning but I can't tell if the HD is working in there.
is there anyone that could help me with a fix or fill me in on why my machine refuses to boot? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
