Would you mind telling the brand/model of the laptops?

Oh and I guess my only other criteria is budget. Preferably something under $1000, but I can go up to $1500 if it´s worth it.

I already posted how my computer won't boot. I think I will just get a new computer. The only thing I am looking for in a laptop this time around is that it will last more than 5 years. I've had three laptops so far and all of them have broken in only 3 years. What brands/laptops are know to...

I think I will just buy a new computer then haha... Do you think that changing the thermal paste/cleaning the fan incorrectly could have caused this problem? I would like to know for future reference if I should continue to do this procedure again or not. Thanks!

No, there is no dedicated graphics card for this computer. I only applied thermal paste to the heat sink that connects with the CPU.

Yup, the log says that the system was hibernated after a critical thermal event. The thermal paste was well spread out, but was a very thin layer (I thought it only needed to be a thin layer?) I will check the heat sink once again and get back to you guys. Thank you so much for your guy's help!!!

Hello, I recently dismantled and cleaned the fan of my laptop. I also changed the thermal paste of the computer. After turning it on, everything is in working condition. However, after about 15 minutes the computer screen goes blank and then the computer shuts off. I can turn it on again right...
