So the other day I opened my trustee laptop to do some cleaning on the fan and other components, when i un screwed the fan i noticed the residue from the thermal paste on the CPU so I decided to just wipe it straight off of the CPU itself. It was literally just the residue not even the thermal paste, then when i put the fan back on i made sure the thermal paste lined up with the cpu and all. But now every time i load up any game (H1Z1, CSGO, Rust etc.) It crashes briefly after starting a game up. Could it be that when I wiped the little tiny bit of excess of that it messed it up? or could it also be that i didnt line it up correctly or the screws werent in properly?

General rule, you should always apply new thermal paste after taking off a heatsink.
Consider the thermal paste left over dead weight, it's lost it's heat conducting potential.
Remove the rest with isopropyl alcohol (70% or more, 90% works best/better) and apply new paste.

" i made sure the thermal paste lined up with the cpu "---every time you remove the fan you need to clean all the paste off of both the heat sink and cpu and apply new paste. order up some new paste even $5 paste works and redo it before your cpu runs into long term issues.
