Solve : PC freezes?

1.	Solve : PC freezes?
Answer» Hello, I don't have much experience with this so I hope someone can help me. My PC makes a strange buzzing noise from CPU cooler when starting. And during WORK, it freezes without BSOD or error messages in event viewer. It just stays in app I used when it froze. I can't do anything but restart PC, even ctrl+alt+del doesnt work.It looks like the processor is overheating, its heatsink is not properly installed, or its thermal grease is out of date. Have checked your CPU temperature (in BIOS)?Yep, but it looks good for me its around 35-40 °C, when I use PC it is from 45-60 °C.By the time you check the temperature in the BIOS, there will have been significant cooling. Time for a bit of diagnosis . Not trying to insult your intelligence - just eliminating the obvious first . Note: Please do not remove the heatsink when checking - it should be possible to unscrew or unclip the fan without removing the heatsink. With the box powered off:- 1. Are any cables resting on the fan? 2. When you spin the fan fast with a finger, does it make the same noise? 3. Is there anything in or under the fan (I had a dead earwig under the fan once - which gave the same symptoms as you are getting)? 4. Is there a load of cruft between the VANES of the heatsink? If so, you can remove it gently with a clean paintbrush. All the best, Voidroid. Don't worry about that, in situations like this it is usually that small thing you overlooked. So crashing problem is a software problem and I fixed it. Now I'm worried about that fan. So let's try to solve it. Cables are ok. There is no noise when I spin it manually. I forgot to mention that fan is making that noise only when I start PC, after some time it works fine. I checked it, there is nothing but a lot of dust. Can dust cause this?

If it is constantly at these levels, it is unlikely that there will be a problem due to temperature. Check the processor temperature while under load with a CPUID Hardware Monitor-style program to make sure that the problem is not caused by this. If the temperature continues at the levels you mentioned, the problem is not caused by overheating of the CPU. printereasy routermanuals techtipseasy As for the dust ISSUE. You can disassemble the processor fan and clean it from dust with a blow dryer in a different location. Remember to refresh your thermal paste as well before installing the processor. Best regards.

As for the dust ISSUE. You can disassemble the processor fan and clean it from dust with a blow dryer in a different location. Remember to refresh your thermal paste as well before installing the processor.
