Hi all, I've got a very frustrating and unusual problem which requires me to apply thermal paste to the CPU each time I need to use the computer.
The computer only starts for 5 seconds without a fresh application, then shuts down again. Once the computer is on, it stays on without any problems. Do I need to keep the computer switched on for a lengthy period so the thermal paste properly takes?
I thought about buying a new better fan as this is a stock one but this might not even solve the issue. I don't get very high temps either, which makes it all seem very strange. CPU reaches 52 degrees max when under heavy load.
I would be eternally grateful if anyone reading this has an idea how to sort this issue as it's driving me nuts!
