To get it together again I searched the net and found hundreds of very helping hands. After all, I'm not the only one with the ylod-experience.
After doing the "hairdryer-trick" (I used a heatgun) and reapplying thermal paste to the cpu and the gpu (I think thats what they are called), I finally got the box together. And it worked!

I'm flying again!

So this is the reason to your absence ! I thought you to were lost in the mud crawling of CoD or tarmac burning of GT5 !

Good to hear you managed to fix it, keep the recipe for this safe.
