I checked the boot order

#

and I see sata 2: ubuntu

#

tho I dont think ubuntu is installled on the hdd

#

the order goes: WIndows boot manager

#

Sata 2: ubuntu

#

then USB:

#

also I see video memory option

#

it allocated 32mb

#

should I give it 512

#

the max I can give it is 512

#

whats the point changing the igpu vram if its never used

#

idk bru

#

it just says video ram

#

I do use it for mc

#

cause my gpu is overheating

#

idle is 70c and its 100c when playing any game

#

something ive noticed is that all my hdds in this laptop has failed

#

I had a WD blue 500g hdd and it failed

#

now I put in another 500gb hdd from another laptop and it failed (I think it was already not working tho)

#

ssds work fine tho

Both, you need thermal paste for the core, and pads for the other components

#

Make sure the pad is the right thichness

#

ive never taken aport a laptop

#

I just wanna start earning money for yt

#

my dad was pretty blunt

#

he said anything I want I must pay for it myself

#

which is fair

#
