today my 1 year old G615LW has shown signs of thermal issues, ive made sure to routinely clean and have kept it very well cared for but after doing an update earlier today it turned off mid bios update.... i managed to get the bios updated through ez flash and then had another issue of it randomly turning off. i decided to clean off and reapply thermal medium as i havent done that yet on this laptop, .... you can guess what awaited me .... liquid metal, after throughly cleaning all the liquid metal off i added some kryonaught thermal grizzly paste. after getting it all back together and having a successful boot i needed to reboot an hour or two later and found that it had the same issue..... managed to get into the bios menu to see that the cpu temp was 105c (like wtf) i took it all arart again and reseated the heat sync and made sure all the fans and connectors were connected and managed to get it booted again after many boot fails again. ive checked my warrenty and seen that im now outside the warrenty so thats not helpful, but im hoping there a suggestion to help otherwise my next port of call is going to be a new heat sync/radiator to see if thats what the cause is. all fans work fine and the cpu seems to be at 95c currently.

please help cause this was my first high end purchase and i dont know what else to do other than finding a computer repair shop to look at it

jumped on just now and ended up in a lobby with a spin to win scammer..... noticed they were and obviously pointed it out in chat so folks were aware.

there was a player already trading with them and well they traded over a rare... something like a snow rabbit or something, then they got a trade back of the rare and a slimingo..... -_- most likely a plant or something

so my good deed comes next, a player rocks up and trades them, offered up a dragon (ret egg), trade goes through and scammer dips with the dragon... not really much in value i know but still, the dragons and unicorns are a slog to hatch if you dont have luck on your side.

now i just so had a N dragon on my nft list and thought yeah ill hatch more and gave the player it, the gratification to hear them thanking me was great told them to take care of it to. so yeah my good deed for the day.

Edit: forgot to add the player equipped it and was running around with it when i last saw them

TLDR: player falls for spin to win scam and i give them a neon version of what they lost.

anyone got some spare Highland cow they dont need? im hunting for them for my niece who is just obsessed, shes managed to get 2 so far but its proving hard to get her another 2. sh really wants a neon and im hoping some nice folks out there maybe have 1 or 2 to pass to me so I can give them to her.

thanks in advance
