Hello, I have an ASUS notebook which has recently started to get a overheating issue, or is what to believed is an overheating issue. My notebook's power will just cut if I'm pushing it too hard (i.e. gaming, HD movie watching while hashing files etc etc). I replaced my the hard drive thinking it was that.

I bought a notebook cooler (which doesn't do much because of very little, bottom-located holes/vents on notebook. So I just take the bottom panel off when needed to get the necessary cooling).

Could re-seating and using an after-market thermal paste (maybe even diamond powder in silicon paste) potentially solve this problem?

Is there any reason you didn't list the age and model of Asus you own?

I doubt that an aftermarket thermal compound like IC Diamond or Indigo Extreme alone would solve what ever problem your having
