Since building my system 5-6 years ago, I have never replaced or remounted the CPU cooler. Is it possible for thermal paste to get old and ineffective? I have been having bsod that seem to be heat related periodically, and I don't really tax my system all that much. Anyway, contemplated removing the CPU cooler and replacing the thermal paste with new. Obviously, it wouldn't hurt, but it did raise the question in my mind about thermal paste aging from repetitive heating and cooling, etc.
Thoughts?
