I have GP72 6QF laptop changed my HDD to Seagate Firecuda 1TB SSHD (no windows installed--all new).  CPU fan broke so had to replace it. Heard of new thermal paste (LIQUID METAL-- Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut). Have applied on both CPU and GPU and even on heat-sink. It was all fine but the CPU fan I replaced made rattling sound so again opened the heat-sink and add cushions to stop the rattling and it did. But the problem is I SPILLED over some of that LIQUID METAL over CPU and GPU. I tried to clean it by spraying Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% all over CPU and GPU and then took toilet paper to absorb it. Also used Air Duster to remove all the alcohol beneath the CPU and GPU. After it dried I placed ELECTRICAL TAPE all around CPU and again applied LIQUID METAL. 

Now I tried to install Windows in the new SSHD. It did all the way to Cortona settings BUT the problem is Its stuck over there. The screen says Please Wait!. After a few seconds, the Screen turns blue saying Video TDR failure (that with :( symbol and QR CODE) and it restarts. Then it took time to boot up and it says Windows not installed properly and repair this PC or Shut down options comes up.

Now I thought to change my new SSHD to my old HDD where Windows is already installed. When I did so, it boots up and even to Log Screen. But the problem is the Screen is Torn. Like there are all kinds of dots and glitches all over the screen. But it did show me my logo so I enter the password to log in but it didn't go through. Ithe screen went pitch black and then again the blue screen appeared about VIDEO TDR FAILURE and it restarted.  And it's always the LOOP when I try to boot


So did the short the motherboard?
Or my CPU and GPU are short?
Or there is a problem with my LCD screen?
Or my HDD socket is short-circuited?
Or its something terrible?

Please help me out!

Thank you!

P.S
Sorry, my English is not that good.!

CPU sounds ok, but the GPU might be knackered (due to the video error codes and the screen artifacting)

Is there a way to repair it?

Like if possible to clean GPU again with ALCOHOL? 

Or else I should replace it (if possible)

 

Or on second thought if its possible to run GPU externally? (eGPU)
