Does anyone know where/how to get a replacement heating pad for the northbridge processor?
------------------Back Story-----------------
Like many others I have been upgrading the bejeezus out of my Gateway FX laptop. However, when I went to replace the cpu, I noticed that the pad on the northbridge was in pretty poor shape. I adjusted it as well as I could then closed the machine back up. After many weeks of problem free use, I figured I was good to go.
Lately however, usually following an intensive gaming session with Warcraft, I have been getting the dreaded blue screen of death. The system is recording it as an issue with the video card, and usually the heatsink/vent is hot as all get out.
I am curious, is this a ventilation problem with the video card, is it possibly the non-optimally padded northbride processor(Supposedly it handles the video card synchronization), or maybe its just all the stupid addons I have installed for raiding in Wow. I would appreciate any opinions/suggestions.
