So I cleaned my laptop a few hours ago, and had to take pretty much everything out (mobo included, the laptop is an Asus N53SN in which pretty much everything is obstructed). It worked fine for about 45 mins. I ran Fractured Space but there was no difference in temp, it ran at about 95C. I closed the game and was able to use it for nearly another hour, but then I just got lines all over my display and afterwards it couldn't boot. No post or anything, just a black screen but all of the lights (Power, caps, etc) except for the HDD light were lit up. Did the motherboard go fubar on me or does anyone have any ideas?

I just tried to plug it in to an external monitor and it actually booted up (without the internal display), I'm guessing the internal display connector must've disconnected.
