Hello Tom's community,
I just became a member from this forum. Thanks for accepting and I hope someone in here can guide me with an issue I'm facing.
I bought this laptop Asus i7 N61J-Q from craigslist. When I bought it, it wouldn't boot. I checked all the components by sight and thought to myself that it was repairable, not knowing if it was. Anyways, I added some ram and cleaned the case with compressed air. The lap turned on, awesome. Then the Asus would freeze or shut down, bummer. I checked the temperature and it was high. I took the computer apart and applied thermal paste on the CPU, re-cleaned vents and everything. The computer does not shut-down any more and actually it became my personal (I'm posting this on the asus). The thing is that if its not in a cool environment it still goes to a high temperature and it even shuts down.
My question is: Is there a component in the Motherboard/Logicboard that could be causing my pc to over heat? take in consideration that the vents are clear there is good flow of air and the power supply its ok.
Could it be a fried resistor, mosfet, IC......?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
