Weird stuff...

Back in October, I purchased a reconditioned/refurbished W7 workstation that claimed to be a gaming machine. (Specs below) Recently after the upgrade to W10, I have experienced random BSOD reboots. I thought, oh, well it's W10.

 

Now it's been happening more and more recently, so I decided to strip and reassemble since I am obviously outside buyer guarantee with ebay. 

 

What I found just astounded me... There was NO thermal grease on the CPU just one rather thing thermal pad that did not even cover the entirety of the IHS. My question is this, how the hell was it even working, should I use the artic silver I have laying around from building my main rig or should I disassemble and reuse the parts since the pad has left pieces underneath of the IHS>

 

Please someone advise!!!

hence why I am confused. These are the specs that were supplied to me by the seller on ebay. I can't be too more specific. I could try getting a magnifying glass and see if there are any serial numbers for you... The MoBo appears to beA960D

 moved the drive into another rig. but the BSODs are still happening... I have re-greased myself, with thanks to Linus' videos. Both of these rigs came from the same seller...

 

I tried to get a prime95 reading but that's when it crashed for me

I have managed to get a stable system by watching a TON of LTT videos... My next step, how can I OC my GT 710 GPU?
