Keith
Thanks for the info. I had that problem with my
prior PC... temperatures dropped from 70C to about 40C after I took apart the
CPU fan and cleaned heat sink and put back with some fresh thermal grease. What
an eye opener.
With my current PC, temperature seems OK, running
at 45C now, but I should monitor it more often than I do.
Thanks
Ara

tester
Ara & others -- In the past, I have had similar problems
with two of my desktop computers.
The cause -- dirt buildup in
the CPU fan. The dirt prevents air from circulating between the fins and
the CPU heats up to the point where random errors begin to happen.
How
do I know -- my computer has an Asus mother board which came with software
that allows me to measure and graph temperature. For my computer,
temperature of CPU is normally about 40 degrees C. When I run a 1 hour
virus scan (every night) , CPU temp will get up to the low 50's. When
fins get real dirty (takes about a year or so), normal temp goes to about 50
and during virus scan will go above 70. My CPU cannot take 70 degrees
C.
The fix -- clean out the dirt between the fins. Works for
me. -- Keith
