Yeah, that video on Youtube is awesome for this... tells you every single step, was very impressed. Went totally painless with that loaded up to watch on a second laptop while doing the job.

And it does help temps!

I bet you were just sick! I would have freaked out... calmed down... taken the whole thing apart again. I still would have been freaking out a little, though.

just ran 3dmark06 -> for me the best test how games actually run on this computer... starcraft2 etc hit 105 plus then shut off same as 3dmark did in same time

after repaste just ran 3dmark06 770/1100 and got 13803 so still no gsod on stock after i repasted... temps hit 76
my other 3dmark06 not overclocked temps hit 69

idling at 54 in mid day 23 degrees celcius

(will add that their paste job was insanely bad, there was paste leaked all over the chip... sigh ASUS)

So i doubt any techs like you will be voiding warranties over guys like me anytime soon... but again i appreciate your 'tough love' attitude in making me see the wrongs of my ways

3) i am running the VGA drivers off of the ASUS website, 9.12 and my machine still GSODs with a factory image and fresh-ish (now) win7 install.

4) Yes my machine is a brick but i cannot wait 4 weeks for a RMA due to the nature of my work. Also, have lost trust in ASUS RMA from stories on this thread and experience of a couple of friends of mine. and no i cant carry 2 computers around for a spare, or just buy a new one, its not that simple with what i do. i have to keep this one now until i have time off and hope asus fixes gsod that helps mine somewhat.

edit:: i should add that since my repaste i made it through 3dmark06 and havnt gsoded again all night on stock, which for me is a huge first. it might be my computer was having some sort of weird heat difficulty unique to mine when i was idling at 81. but i dont want to jinx it... been on cs5 for 3 hours, left it on watching exendables, talked on skype, went out, came home and still no gsod! hope it lasts

--> and just so you know, i still have one screw. i took it out on purpose, just to let you know its out of its socket. sitting there on my desk, voiding warranties, alone... scared. which hole was it from? which parts are coming loose...

So if I am hearing you right, your saying you have a screw loose???
