Could the boot up BSOD be fixed by 211 & new vBIOS?

Ok, those of you read my first thread know my laptop was attained for the unreasonable price of $750, because Furmark took the laptop to 106c and crashed the computer, making the seller even more desirous to get rid of it. Since then I have upgraded from 209 to 211 BIOS, I also did the vBIOS flash (which took correctly I confirmed). After doing that the laptop would only bootup intermittently (see here http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...ght-new-1-month-old-g73-craigslist-750-a.html)

No BIOS screen, nothing, just a black screen.

Well today I cannot get it not boot, it boots everytime. In fact I am running Furmark again and have been running for 30 minutes straight without crashing. Remember when I tested the G73 at the sellers house Furmark went to 106c and resulted the black screen of death in 10 minutes. Now with the new BIOS & drivers, I am running Furmark at 90-91c for 30 minutes. Interestingly 91c is a mark where 211 increases the RPM on the fan. I think it helps a lot, as the temp goes up and down between 90-91c I can hear the fan change speeds.

I am currious why today it is working and yesterday it didn't. I was about to RMA, but I maybe I won't need to. I don't understand how, but could 211 and new vBIOS have needed to time to "settle" in? Crazy idea I know. I hope today is not just an annomoly (which it probably is).

UPDATE: 1 hour & 30 minutes and no problems. Also Furmark is great for doing pushups and flutterkicks to!

 

lol but u need a repaste.. there's detailed guides on BTOtech website... u might want to diassemble it and reapply thermal paste on GPU.. that is ur main issue.. it would save u 14 days or more for RMA..

 

Do you think I should repaste at 91c? I know I could probably go lower with a higher quality paste, but 91c seems pretty good right now. I need to wait to see if I need to RMA. If I quit having problems then I'll probably do it myself once I've figured this laptop out. So far 2 hours 40 minutes into Furmark and no crashes. Still 91c

 

If it starts to deteriorate and increase in temp then repaste, but for now you could probably leave it. As soon as the temps start t increase DO IT. You don't don't want int to get too hot, fail and be unusable afterward. 91 is fine for a max. But it can get lower. Mine hits 87-88.

 

Ok, 3 hours 10 minutes @ 91c. After stopping Furmark it is down to 65c within 90 seconds and still dropping. I think it is safe to say that this computer no longer has heat issues, not to say a repasting wouldn't help, but it isn't enough to RMA.
