PC Randomly Shuts Down
EHM-1617 Iain:
Guys... I think I may have the problem
Especially the first two shots. You can see that around 50% of the the area that the CPU fan is supposed to be blowing air through is totally blocked with dust. Gonna clean it out and see what happens (fingers crossed). What do you guys think?
OK OK I've never cleaned it out before, didn't know how, I am ashamed.
@Phil... I have eliminated the GPU overheating... I set FS Settings to the very max and it still died in about the same amount of time (even though I was down to 17FPS on the ground with full AI Traffic at KSEA which I was quite proud of ;D).
EHM-1358 Tim:
WOW! Get a hoover in there quick!
EHM-1670 Bill:
Do you hoover the carpet with the computer turned on? If so desist at once. All the dust the hoover stirs up gets sucked into the computer by the fans.
EHM-1703 Philip:
I'm safe, all the dust round here settles on the wife!
EHM-1617 Iain:
Thanks for the tip Bill! Will clean it out.
