Supergurrier · 2013-08-16 14:08:54

Basically my Laptop has major heat issues around the power button top left corner and it's causing my graphics card to freeze up (pink screen) So ideally i want to sort the problem Can of compressed air/some thermic paste on graphics card should sort it and maybe a bigger fan. But also want to change OS from Windows Vista…

Can of compressed air/some thermic paste on graphics card should sort it and maybe a bigger fan.

But also want to change OS from Windows Vista 32 bit to Windows 7
go from 4(3)GB of memory to 8GB.

Most of this i can do myself but i may get a place in Galway to do it.

Im well used to opening the bottom of the laptop to clean out the fan (awful design) and was wondering if my plan is viable as i like my laptop and just want to sort the old girl out.
