    so the guy came repalced my 5850 adn asked me a few questions and then took off, untill i was playing MOA the computer just shut down and i restarted it and to my amazement, the temps were in the high 120's, now i think he diddnt put any paste on it just popped it in and took off.

    i have a little crappy paste left but i think its better than no paste at all, i cant even play MOA...

    Get a tube of MX-4 or ICD24 and repaste yourself. You'll end up with better paste and a better application than you will get with 90% of the Dell techs. Don't blame you for feeling frustrated.

    Tell them you'll sue them if the tech comes back without a black eye or at least some apologies and a new GPU(with some paste hopefully)))
