It worked for a few hours then went out again. After getting the temps nice and warm it started working again. Ive been watching my temps, i think this laptop needs a heatsink upgrade or new thermal paste. its idle at 51C and anything over 40-50% load makes it shoot up to 70C. whenever i do any stress to this thing it probably is what caused it to stop working in the first place.

Anyone ever trying taking the heatsink off and applying some AS5?
