Unless there's some compelling reason to use screensavers, stop using them. Never use the button. Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings: Turn Off Display: X (pick a time frame in the drop down) Simple mouse movement and you're back on. Nothing on your screens will budge.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="14" id="3105262"]Some functions are hard to use with it skinned.[/quote] Like what? What version are you using? If I recall, some of the earlier versions did have GUI problems. The exclusion would be predicated on what options you're using.

This is beginning to look ugly....... Some make it easy...some don't. Asus being the latter. The CPU and GPU should be to the left of the memory. A fan over the CPU with a pipe to the GPU plate. Personally, I never advocate fixing laps with these kinds of problems. In the end you have more problems than you started with. That said, it's money (in this case yours) and a lot of time that may be for naut. There is a metal rim around the case, so you ca

[quote who="2of3" reply="80" id="3103459"]I was just saying that the top case (next to the keyboard) is hot[/quote] That's what I figured.....when you crack it open, check the hearsink for the CPU and GPU. It's probably a fan housing, plate and copper pipe. Touch the pipe. Might just be an alloy block with an enbedded fan, in which case, touch it

Check the heatsink on the processor. If it's hot, it's not the paste. Cold/cool, it's not transferring heat. That would be the paste. [quote who="yrag" reply="49" id="3101768"]I'm not convinced it's the CPU or GPU. The CPU has overheat protection....it would simply shutdown. The graphic card on the other hand has no such protection, but as far as I can tell, there's no distortions, resolution fallbacks or blackouts. That leaves memory, drivers and <str

The graphic card on the other hand has no such protection, but as far as I can tell, there's no distortions, resolution fallbacks or blackouts. That leaves memory, drivers and voltage (the latter more likely than the 2 former). What I really need to see is the BSOD info..... <a href="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.htm
