Hi, I've had an HP Pavillion g6-2311sp for about 6 years now. (2,2 GHz Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon HD 7670M and 4 GB of RAM )
I didn't use it for a few years and when I started using it again it was really slow and the fan would sometimes start randomly ventilating really loudly and the screen would go black (could still see and move cursor) and it would flash from normal display to black a few times before going back to normal.
I tried to clean the laptop and upgrade it a bit to make it faster/fix that issue. So after cleaning, replacing the thermal paste, adding an SSD, getting windows 10 on it and adding another 4GB of RAM, the laptop is faster but the black screens keep happening (sometimes with the computer on and no apps running).
I don't know much about this but I believe it might be CPU overheating as the temps on the CPU go from 55ºC to 104ºC (+90ºC right after the flashing black screen stops).
Don't really know what else to do here and couldn't find much online so I was hoping someone could help.
Thanks in advance!
