Normally I clean my tower often, but have overlooked it for some time.. Lots of things going on in my life at the moment, so I just didn't think about it.. When I was reading a thread online for someone having the same problem, they mentioned dirt.. so I immediately went to Walmart and bought a can of air, and a new *surge protector, since mine was only showing one yellow light and one green one.. The new one has all lights showing..but I don't know if that was part of the problem or not. The dirt has to be so thick that (for example) no holes existed in the heatsink). If not, then you may have only cured a symptom - heating being a diagnostic tool to find defective hardware. This summer is a good time to locate defective hardware. Operate the computer in a room that is 100 degrees F. Best is to execute diagnostics. No matter what the computer executes, it must work perfectly fine even in that 100 degree room. If not, then you still have defective hardware. Any computer that works just fine in 100 degrees should also work just fine with dirt in a 70 degree room. Unfortunately many clean a computer, see no problem, then blame the dirt - also called curing symptoms. Any desktop or laptop must work happy and fine all day in a 100 degree room. If not, then heat is the diagnostic tool to find defective hardware. |

Letting a next homeowner suffer is more satisfying - especially when it is not my computer. |
