Alright, I cleaned the cpu and heatsink the best I could, and reapplied the thermal paste. It did stay on longer, however it died again. Should I keep thinking along those lines and get a new heatsink, or do you think it could be something else?
My CPU was running hot for a while and I was thinking about getting a new one, however I don't want to buy this if my problem is likely unrelated.
