Well I'm pretty sure the issue had to do with overheating. I know the system has been going in and out of throttling mode for like the past year, but she never wants me to help her or fix it since it's "not broken." I had her carefully take the green shroud off of the CPU heatsink assembly and she said the heatsink just fell right off. Apparently, one of the clamps was not properly fastened and the heatsink was never seated properly.

Unfortunately for her, I won't be coming home until next week, but atleast it sounds salvagable. I am just wondering...know where I can get a good thermal pad, or can I substite the pad with some AS5 after wiping it clean with some rubbing alcohol?


the latter. whipe that guy down with some vodka, let it dry and throw on that AS5.
