So, its now been a few years since you guys recommended i get the MSI Gx620, and recently upon improperly applying thermal paste, i think its gone for good. idk whats wrong exactly besides the probable short, but when i turn on the computer no boot screen, no nothing, just a black back light screen that gets slowly overtaken by white as if frosting over. if this means the computer is gone, ill need a new one
