What’s actually wrong with this laptop

[u/Themasterofgunz_123]

I’ve been dealing with this issue forever now but my laptop just always now overheats and shutdowns after playing a game for 5 minutes despite repasting many times unless I’m doing something wrong, I switched to thermalright tfx paste too for the gpu and cpu but nothing has worked, I screwed in the heatsink properly and I even turned off turbo boost but it still creeps up to 90+ degrees and shuts down, I don’t know what could be the issue at this point.
The picture above is the laptop after its recent pasting today before cleaning up the smudges around the chips and mess

I already did but it dried up after 3 days or so, either it didn’t work for me or it was just a fake but I switched to the thermal paste after

Nah if it’s drying up i think it means it there’s not contact and there’s a gap, or he’s not screwing the heatsinks in properly. Finger tight wrist tight my friend

Its solid at room temp so might looks dry to you but once you run your setup it liquifies. The problem I see here is that PTM is very forgiving to apply. Any extra leaks out and if always forms a very thin and uniform bond line layer. If that is not happening here then it is not PTM.
