GPU reaches 100c? Holey Moley.
I suggest you open up the laptop and remove the mattress of dust inside there.
A lot of people use I8KFanGUI, and that works for me.
Mmm it sounds like you have a dry solder joint. Probably on the motherboard, it gets knocked around the most and has the largest components (i.e. caps everywhere etc).
The hard part is finding it, especially on a complex mobo... I'd...
I have that quicksnap cover for my 9300. Makes it a mm or two thicker.
Its just a plastic faux-carbon fibre.
Looks better than the shitty silver paint imo.
I've done similar to a desktop - my watercooling system leaked from ants eating silicone. Killed the machine immediately (pool of coolant on floor).
Let it all dry out and put it on backup air cooling and it was fine.

Hahaha, its like a drug. Something better...
Unless you can sell your cpu and regain most of the cost, its not going to be worth it. There's little performance difference.
But yeah if your set on it, the 735 has a high success rate (remember you are overclocking)
Mmm $700 is a great price for a 7800gtx/2.26ghz M170. Pity about the ram/hdd, but it would all be worth more than $700...
Sounds good, so long as it all works.
