Hi
My CPU has been acting weird lately. It was constantly overheating leading to constant stutters and painfully low fps. Once when I opened it up while running a wire seemed to block the CPU fan from running. It still kept getting overheated. Someone told me to remove the heatsink and apply a pea sized amount of Mayonnaise on the processor. I did so but now the processor idles at full load at 50-55° C. Also, I just noticed the heatsink fan runs clockwise, is it supposed to work that way? It's a Dual Core E5200
