My last battery was 3rd-party and cheap, and I assumed that was the culprit, but after replacing it with another better 3rd-party battery, my voltages aren't wildly dropping anymore, but still I'm getting random shutdowns which now I think could be due to overheating.
* I've replaced the thermal paste twice and cleaned the dust. Last time I replaced it, the temps seem to be higher than before. Right now my CPU is <10% and still I'm idling around 70-80C.
* See this mini-heatsink here that covers 2 chips? It wasn't actually connected with thermal paste - it was a small peice of white foam. That foam broke upon removing the heatsink, so I don't have it, and now the heatsink perhaps doesn't make contact with those 2 chips. I once tried to use a big glob of paste to connect it but it didn't make much difference in overall temperature.
** I read somewhere here that someone removed it and resulted in their temp problems being fixed -- attempted but no difference.
* I tried to take the back-case off to see that makes a different but it doesn't seem to.

What's going on, any ideas?
