If your computer gradually loses performance, and once your unit is simply spontaneously switched-off, then it is possible that it turns into the household heating appliance. Some recommendations will help to eliminate overheating of the computer.
It is required to you
- Program for monitoring of temperature, additional fans
Instruction
1. So, you have turned on the computer, first everything goes perfectly, it works steadily. But after a while the machine begins "to apply brakes partially", programs "suspend", and on the screen unclear visual effects can appear. It demonstrates to possible overheating of systems of the computer.
2. Such phenomena arise as temperature of the processor exceeds permissible critical values. To avoid system exit out of operation, the processor begins to pass steps that leads to decline in production. If temperature continues to increase, the computer is switched-off.
3. For the correct diagnostics of overheating you will need the special program for monitoring of temperature of components of the computer. The existing programs allow to take temperature, rotational speed of fans and tension.
4. The program for monitoring needs to be downloaded and installed on the computer, following recommendations. Then start the program from label on work table. In the opened window you will see indications of temperature of the motherboard, the processor, hard drives. Speed of operation of the fan also requires attention.
5. If the sensor of the central processing unit shows the increased temperature, then the problem consists in the cooler given it which rotates insufficiently quickly. In most cases dust pollution of the device is the reason of reduction of rotational speed.
6. If diagnostics shows overheating of several devices at once, then probably the cooling system of all computer does not cope with work. For the solution of this problem it is necessary to clean the machine from dust or to install the additional fan in the computer case.
7. If several hard drives are built in the system unit, it can also lead to overheating. It is recommended to install the additional hard drive in the lower compartment for diskettes that between it and the disk drive standing above there was free space.
8. Other way to avoid overheating of hard drives is to install one more fan on the front panel of the body of the system unit. Anyway, at installation more than two hard drives them should be carried as it is possible further from each other.
9. There are also special cooling systems of hard drives. They are supplied with the fans which are installed in one of compartments of the system unit. And in them hard drives are already installed.
10. The block of random access memory, as a rule, strongly does not heat up and does not need additional cooling. Just it is necessary to provide good air circulation about memory modules.
11. Emergence of excess visual effects in games can demonstrate overheating of the video card. The most common cause of it is dust accumulation in video card cooler that prevents it to gain steam. Sometimes for temperature reduction of the video card it is recommended to install in the next slot the special cooling system for ensuring additional air flow.
