    I did change the CPU to x9000 and changed the thermal paste of the GPU. both of them ware very dry so i had to:S and after m first boot i had a black screen. I have to restart the laptop in order to get the screen working. the CPU and everything seems OK except for that. I will do few minutes of gaming and check the temperatures.

    SO if i turn on the laptop the screen is black like it is not detected even though i can notice that the screen is flickering when the resolution is changed to boot and and the lid is turned on and off.

    I have to restart during the boot and it works. sometimes the resolution is messed up. I have not experienced something like this so im confused :S

    i did some gaming from crysis 1 and 2, shift 2, assassins creed 3, wic and the temps are as fowling
    gpu max 73
    cpu max 40 and 45

    they seem ok to me

    so you did a full tare down and redid the paste on the GPU? or are you saying the paste on just the CPU and NB from the CPU's heatsink?

    well what i did i just let it on.
    I guess it was the alcohol until it evaporated cause i had to use a lot to clean up the dry-out thermal paste THE OLD ONE.

    and i did fix it on that day. since them no prob just a lot of dust and i have to clean the vents and the summer is here so yes temps are a bit higher like 5 degrees.

    Sorry for late repply :p
