I have a toshiba netbook NB255-N245 shutting down after 2 minutes or so due to overheating. The original cooling stuff of the CPU is thermal pad. I tried to replace with a new one but same thing happened. Now I am thinking of appying THERMAL PASTE instead of pad and put on top of the thermal paste a small size of METAL (something like copper shim) to fill the gap between heatsink and cpu. Is that possible?
I am afraid that if i do the above-mention method my motherboard will get shorted.
Pls check the attached photos for your reference. The photo on the left side is my CPU and heatsink. Photo on the right is the metal that i am going to cut to use it as shim. Take note of my heatsink it is not made of copper.
thank you
