Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop - 16-a0032dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I recently noticed that my thermal pads were missing but paid no mind to them and started playing games when I noticed that some games were not using my GPU, my CPU was hot (between 90-99 degrees) and at 95/100% usage, and sometimes the games would freeze. I tried to update my bios, update drivers, go back to the manufacture video drivers, and force game to use my GPU but nothing works. I think the only problem is my thermal pads because everything was fine before. If anyone knows the size and heigh of the thermal pads, can you please let me know? MinecraftMinecraftCPU heatsinkCPU heatsink
