Other Discussion / Requesting advice, overheating computer
« on: July 31, 2006, 10:27:29 pm »
I have an issue, my mothers pc (an XP 3200) has been recently crashing, we narrowed the problem down to it overheat, running at 86 degrees celcius when idle to be exact. It started doing this about a week or two ago, we havent moved it at all, we opened it up, cleaned all the fans, and made sure the air flow was correct etc. There is room for the fans, nothing seems to be wrong. We have narrowed it down to it needs more heat compound, but the issue is that, we have none. So, we need advice to keep it as cool a physically possible, we have hoovered it out to remove dust... What else can we do?
