Has one disassembled their 8890 to the point that they can find the VPU fan? While not sure, I'm fairly confident my VPU fan is in dire shape. I used to get a grinding noise when I cranked the fan-speed using one of the 3rd party programs. It stopped one day, and I noticed the machine ran fairly hot even after cleaning the heatsink, using a new coat of AS5, and every other trick in the book.
Lately, during graphic intensive games, the machine locks up which requires a hard reboot to correct. Even then, the machine is running at blazing temperatures after I reboot. Even if I go back into the game after a meltdown, I only get another 2 minutes or so.
Has any corrected this themselves, or is there an option for me to send my Sager back to PC-Torque or Sager themselves to give the laptop a once-over and correct the problems?
