I purchased my acer helios 300 PH315-52-58DM on October. whenever i used turbo mode/button while gaming, the game used to crash but works fine in normal mode.i asked in the forums about it and someone said it was a windows issue but i felt something was wrong with it so i contacted the service center and they sent a engineer to look at the laptop.he said there was something wrong with my motherboard and it should be replaced.i have warranty as it's been only 2 months since i brought it.so while changing the laptop can i change the processor from i5 to i7? Is it possible?
Also when i game the thermals hit around 85-90°c.
Is it normal? Should i buy a good thermal paste and tell the service center to repaste while changing the motherboard as i have heard the paste they use isn't that good. Sorry for putting too many questions in this and thanks in advance.
