Yes I have a x550cc laptop (i3 3217u, 4GB RAM and a 720m GPU). Recently when playing games I notice a massive fps drop (all games run at 10-15fps), so I did a check and find out my CPU is always at 70-80 celcius degrees, and rapidly increase to 90 and stop there when I open any games.
I brought it to a support center to clean the fan, the mainboard and replaced thermal paste for both CPU and GPU. The temperature did reduced, but not much. The technician told me it may because of a hardware failure and I have to replace the mainboard.
So, I want to know if that is even possible? Can a dead GPU or something wrong in the mainboard cause overheating?
(No overclocking, CPU and GPU usage is at normal rate)
