Install this and watch that(for a period of time).
>>
>>55455625
So how to know whats wrong
>>
>>55455608
Did you disassemble the laptop at all? Sometimes chips on the mainboard make direct contact with a metal plate in the chassis via a thermal pad, which acts as a heatsink. If there was a thermal pad there that is now missing (or up the vacuum cleaner) then there's your overheat cause.

Watch the temps, see how high they get before shutdown, report findings.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I have decided to take it to repair. Hopefully it doesnt cost much.
