overheating

So long story short, my hard drive died on me so I installed a 1T SSD and got it up and running again. Couple days later it overheated twice. I wasn't doing anything that would require much processing. I only had a few tabs open in Fire Fox. The computer locked up and made a terrible noise from...

Please if anyone can help with this random BSOD as I have no clue what is causing it. This laptop is getting on a bit but has always run problem free. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 this year due to too much crap installed over the years but have not changed any hardware. The only issue I...

Hey, last couple days my PC's been shutting down/restarting without warning. (I uh, can't tell. It hasn't shutdown/restarted *properly* since I put it together a few years ago) Figured it might be memory/PSU failure, so I scheduled a mem-test and cleaned out the guts for good measure, (I dunno...

So I got a laptop a year ago for my birthday with Windows 8 installed on it. [you might recognize this post. I'm ExecutedNebula. I made a new account because I forgot my password.] It was a beautiful HP Pavillion and very good price. I had the "usual" files: Google Chrome, Steam games, and...

Greetings, I have an old Asus K52J that overheated and shut down some weeks back. After replacing the worn out fan and eventually the heat sink unit and copper tubing, I finally had it back up and running perfectly for several hours after being down for a few weeks. It was running perfectly...

so i was playing tw atilla when my pc freeze and a buzz noise started then it went over to a bluescreen. i checked temps,tried furmark,auda64 stresstest and prime95 with no crashes.

Hey, I have a fairly old gaming computer, and it has been pretty good so far aside from a few minor hiccups. Recently, it crashed while I was playing a game of Dota 2, and it was unable to turn back on. I thought my power supply died, so I left it for a bit until I could repair it. A couple of...

I have recently (about 4 weeks ago) purchased an Asus R510J, a laptop with pre-installed Windows 8.1. It was running rather smoothly apart from some painful differences I notice coming from Windows 7. The one issue I started to notice however, was that when waking it up in the morning it would...

I'm having issues with one of my GPU's fans (it features a dual-fan cooling) and will have to fix it soon. The problem is, it's making an annoying noise and I was thinking if I could just block it for the time being, however brutally that sounds. So, the question is - provided the GPU doesn't...
