Overheating Solution?


PC_SecurityGuard

Recommended Posts

PC_SecurityGuard, most overheating problems are caused by dust accumulation on the fans that cool the pc located on the case/GPU/CPU/power supply, or by very low amounts of RAM (computer is using the HDD a lot), or by being kept in a location that is too hot for normal computer operation.

 

Blow out your dust with a blower while holding the blades of the fans with a q-tip so they don't over-RPM. Do this while the computer is OFF & UNPLUGGED.

 

Check how much RAM you have with the crucial memory scanner. General rule is, anything less than 1 GB is inadequate. Many users need 2 or 3 GB MINIMUM.

 

Reduce your startup items to a bare minimum.

 

Swap Norton/McAfee for AVG free.

 

CClean, then defragment your drive fully.

 

Locate your PC in a cooler room (if necessary).

 

* On older hardware, XP is the lowest you can go and still use modern programs. It may run slightly cooler. Modern hardware runs better on 7.

superfast please use people's "names" not their titles. Calling somebody newbie is kinda rude

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
