How to Solve Computer Overheating?

       Hi everyone, today in this article we are talking about How to solve Computer Overheating Problem? There are several reasons of Computer Overheating. So lets start the topic of How to solve Computer Overheating.

Why is the Computer Overheating?

      The components of a modern computer have great processing power. They consume a lot of energy and generate heat, so a working computer is heated. Heating a computer is normal, but only if the temperature of its components does not exceed acceptable limits.

How to determine if a computer is overheating

You can determine the computer overheating  by several signs:

Decreased performance:- When performing any tasks, the computer begins to noticeably "slow down". The cause may be overheating of the central processor, video card or hard drive. The appearance of image defects on the monitor. Various artifacts in the form of colored stripes, squares, flickering dots indicate overheating of the video card.

Spontaneous reboot or shutdown:- If the temperature of the central processor or chip of the video card exceeds the upper threshold, the computer reboots or shuts down. This is intended to protect components from destruction during overheating.

Unstable computer operation, USB port failure.:-These and other errors can occur during overheating of the system logic chips of the motherboard (south and north bridges).

How to check computer temperature

     You can find out the temperature of computer components using special programs. HWmonitor is well suited for this purpose. It has a simple interface and is distributed free of charge.

     The AIDA64 program allows you to pre-test the system for overheating at maximum load. To do this, after starting the program in the "service" menu, select "system stability test". In the window that appears, tick all the items and click "Start". In the upper window, you can observe the temperature change. The bottom will display a graph of the processor load.

 

Typical temperatures of a stationary computer in idle mode:

• Processor - up to 45 ° C
• Video card - up to 50 ° C
• Hard drives - up to 40 ° C

Under load:

 

• Processor - up to 60 ° C
• Video card - up to 75 ° C
• Hard drives - up to 45 ° C

What to do if the computer overheats and shuts down

The most common cause of a computer overheating is dust in the system unit. It clogs cooling radiators and prevents heat dissipation. In many cases, cleaning the system unit eliminates overheating of computer components.

 

Dust on a computer cooler

       If the computer overheats and turns off during the game, you first need to pay attention to the state of the video card cooling system: check if the fan is spinning and make sure there is no dust in the radiator. The same goes for the processor cooler.

      Another cause of overheating may be improper installation of the system unit, which reduces air circulation in it. The ventilation openings in the housing must be open so that nothing obstructs the access of air. Do not install the system unit too close to radiators. If you remove the side cover of the computer, the temperature of its components can drop to a few degrees. In some cases, eliminating overheating helps to install additional fans.

      If the computer continues to overheat after cleaning, and all the cooling system fans are operating in normal mode and nothing interferes with the access of air to the system unit, replacing the thermal paste will help to cool the “hot” components.
