You need to apply thermal paste on the CPU so it makes proper thermal contact with the heatsink and fan assembly.
I already put the thermal paste on the CPU but the temperature did not decrease. It is on power saving mode and the temperature still reaches 75c. I need help asap.
Check the CPU fan on the heat sink. If it is faulty then replace the fan.
How do i check whether it is faulty or not?
If the fan does not spin freely or at all then it is faulty.
If there is too much dust in the case will the CPU overheat?
Yes because the dust can move and clog the heatsink.
But it is a new heatsink.
I found out that my PSU fan was not working. Since its warranty expired i opened it and replaced the old fan 12V 0.12A with a new one 12V 0.13A. Then i reapplied the thermal paste. But when i turned it on the computer boots up then at the Desktop. It turns itself off. I really need help!
The problem maybe the RAM, it is faulty or just needs reseating to make proper electrical contact. Reseat the RAM and then boot up your laptop. If it still does not boot up then remove the RAM module/s and take them to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you.
Thanks I just found that the processor was damaged. I replaced it with a new and faster one. Then the CPU temperature decreased to 35c.
