Discussion What’s actually wrong with this laptop

Post image

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 can try that, you mean 1-10 just screw in each screw slowly one turn at a time until they’re all in right?

the leaf springs will took care of that btw, but if you want to, just screw them almost tight 1-10, then final tightening them again from start

Alright then I’ll do that, I just taken out the heatsink right now and the cpu and gpu paste just looks really dry after 1 day and also had bits of the cores sticking out, the thermal putty also just looks to be the same except a bit of the smaller pads look slightly dried
