    I bought this laptop from my friend, and already it was broken. Now i thinking should i try to fix it or its better to sell it. One of my friends bought this laptop from Germany with box, documets etc. It was already used, second hand(not from shop) its without warranty. Ofcors first thing to do when you have so powerfull video card to test it on games. So he started playing game (watch dogs) for about 8hrs without brake. After that he closed computer lid and went to sleep, i dont know if it turned off or just sleep mode, or nothing happened. So next day he played about 8hrs more, and went to another country for about 2days. LAPTOPS WASNT TURNED OFF. He left it on. After hes come back he tried to play something, but something was wrong with keyboard. Some of the keys stopeed working. Its not that big problem, he pluged in another keyboard via USB. After playing for about 4hrs o laptop screen poped up table saying that laptop reached critical temperature and its recomended to turn it off. He turned it off and after that never turned on again. I took this laptop to computer fixers, they told that its somekind of controling chip. They thought that i spilt something on my laptop (cola or etc) but it wast problem. Now the main question. I thinking of fixing this laptop, but i wondering if theres no other problems after i fix this? Any ideas? Maybe someone has same problem before?

    Hmm another thing. When computer was taken apart they find out that this controling chip alreadi was fixed, but they forgot to add tape. So its broken again.

    You need to run a full set of monitoring programs to see what is misbehaving.
