    a buddy of mine has one that seems to overheat and when it does the screen goes black. i took the heatsink off and put some artic silver on the cpu but the heatsink also covers the gpu but with a thermal pad. where could i get some replacement thermal padding? i dont want to use artic silver on that because the gap is too large.. it seemed to work fine for a while but he's back today with it doing the same thing. is there anything you guys heard of to fix this issue? this seems to be the same issue all over with acer laptops however this one doesnt cut off it just blacks the screen.



    any ideas.. thank in advance
