You can't replace the GPU from a laptop. It could be that the motherboard has some unsoldered component from heat (which could be fixed by reballing the component with special equipment) but it wouldn't be worth fixing. They would charge you more than what you will be willing to pay for a 6 year...

Video editing is a very hardware intensive task. It depends on what kind of files you are using, their bitrate, resolution or whatever. There's really no way to tell what your problem is with such little information about your setup.

It's nothing to be concerned about, you may put it on there. Even if your laptop is made of metal, important stuff is supposed to be shielded by coating or some insulating piece of plastic of any sort. Nothing to worry about, it's like not driving your car because someone could crash into you...

This is a tricky question to answer. In theory, no, there shouldn't be a problem, manufacturers are aware that people may use their devices this way. However, you should take into account that if for some crazy reason there's an electrical discharge that goes through your cooling pad, it will...

Usually laptop keyboards just die and there's no point in trying to fix them as there's no real circuitry inside, it's just a path from each key combination into the flex cable that plugs into the motherboard. Since these paths are not actual copper or wire but made with conductive paint...

Open sound settings in Windows and in the "Playback" tab, right click on your logitech wireless headset and select "Set as default device". You should notice that the green icon next to the speakers or whatever other device is showing, should disappear and only show in the logitech device.

There's not much I can do without the TV next to me, but just try to search for a "gaming" mode or disable all options that add some sort of filtering

I had the exact same issue with my older monitors when connected to a DisplayPort to HDMI active adapter. I'm sure this will apply to you too. I had to build a custom HDMI Coupler that tricks the computer into thinking there's always something connected to the HDMI port (in your case, the DVI...

Yes, you can. The motherboard will underclock the RAM to match the highest frequency it supports. If for some reason it doesn't work, usually a bios update will fix it, but it's almost certain that it will work. However, I wouldn't recommend using them in combination with either of those 2GB...

Sounds like the hard drive is loose, that's the only component that's near the palmrest that would cause something like that. You'll have to take off the hard drive cover and make sure all screws are properly tightened.

Check that the projector has the VGA input selected, then hold the start key (the one with the windows flag) and press "P" a few times to enable display cloning or expanding the desktop.

There are more options out there, there's nothing I can do with so little information. Just search for video converters, and put the original extension to that file before trying to convert.

VLC or changing the extension is NOT the same thing as converting the file. You need software that's meant to convert the format. Try Xilisoft's software, they have plenty of options and one of the widest formats support.

It should underclock to the highest possible frequency, but there's no warranty that it will work. Only way is trying, but it simply will work or it won't.
