Hi, recently I brought home my old MSI GX60, i gave my sister. Lately it had some issues, restarting, freezing etc. I decided to reinstall old OS, but i had really hard times, it was not properly working.
Anyway, when I finally get some OS working there, I checked components temps and they were waaay too high. So I re-pasted GPU and CPU. However, CPU still runs high temps and shuts down at reaching 100°C. So i though maybe I didnt put there enough paste, but after re-pasting it again, nothing changed... Here ends my knowledge, what could cause this overheating?
Is it possible that CPU is already damaged, or maybe old heatsink? (Notebook bought 6-7 years ago), already changed GPU and display. Or may the paste be old? I am using older Arctic MX-4 (few years old), but it works properly on GPU.
