My CPU is 68 Degrees, what's wrong?

Recently I have took my laptop apart and taken a look at the Processors and Graphics Card. I noticed when I dissembled it, that the blue stuff on top of the processor (Thermal Grease/Heat Paste) had been damaged and was peeling off. I just put it back on normally, but ever since the laptop has been acting odd. For example, the CPU would just overheat when on standby, and the temperature would go as high as 50 Degrees for no reason. Right now, the temperature is 68 when running several other programs such as Bitdefender update. I can't even play Dragon Age 2 without the laptop randomly shutting down. Ever since I took apart the laptop, it just won't play for more than 10 minutes. The fan is emitting cool air as well, and I've made sure to clear dust. Just the heatsink near the processor is scorching hot. Any Ideas?My CPU is 68 Degrees, what's wrong?
Those temperatures, (in degrees C that is) are quite safe %26amp; common in warm weather. If they were lower before however, you may need to do the thermal paste installation thing over again or get someone to help you with it. It is easy to get it wrong. The old grease needs to be cleaned off with alcohol %26amp; fresh paste applied in the correct amount.My CPU is 68 Degrees, what's wrong?
clean the old thermal past , and put a new one !

Is your laptop still under warranty? If so, I would just let the company handle it. Otherwise, you will probably need to call a specialist to repair/diagnose it.
Thermal paste reduces temperature, maybe buying a cooling mat for your Laptop would reduce the heating emitting from the parts.
