    Hey guys, long time no talk. Recently I have noticed that when I watch videos for a long time (either youtube or netflix) I start to see screen corruption that looks like the same sort of corruption you get when your GPU is overheating or dying. The funny part is, it happens if I use the onboard or the Nvidia GPU and when I watch the temps during playback they are all fine (40c - 50c). Any ideas on what could be causing this? When I put my hand on the bottom of the laptop there is no heat except for under the palm rest so I have no idea why I am see this.

    Thoughts? Is system dying? Should I repasted the GPU/CPU?
