Hey guys,
So Im new to circuit board work. I recently began having my computer freeze to a black or white screen after it was on for anywhere from 2 to 45 minutes. After taking my tower apart I saw that there was much more build up in the fans and heat sink area than there was before and part of the circuit board had fallen off. ( I apologize but I dont know what the piece is called) The piece is black and has risers on it. Its the 1st Picture attached. It is supposed to be what I believe Thermal Pasted on and then clipped on the Logicboard via 2 arch type circuits. The 2nd picture attached is where it connects. The 3rd and 4th pictures are the circled in red where I believe it clips. My question is from looking at the pictures is it possible to just buy the replacement arch circuit, install it and then replace the black rectangle with thermal paste and then problem solved? Or do I need to purchase an entirely new logicboard and go from there? Thank you!
