WhiteBear Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Hi, I'm having an issue with my computer. When the ambient room temperature gets hot my monitor will shut off but the computer which doesn't shut down will be unusable. I have to restart the computer most of the time the boot order is rearranged in the BIOS, putting it back in the proper order solves the issues. I was informed that it was my SSD, at one point months ago, during the winter I had a static charge and I touched the computer and the discharge (the first and only time) destroyed the SSD or so I was told. I did the next best thing, I went out a bought a new SSD drive (Samsung Evo). A week after the new drive was installed and I cleaned my computer of dust; the problem resurfaced. It just happened this morning twice, the room temperate is somewhat hot. I'm beginning to lean towards a fan is over heating, and my other SSD and my current SSD are fine. The PSU is spinning well, my guess is the GPU fan ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 It sure sounds like the video card getting hot, did you pull it out and clean that fan also ?Also you can use a third party software like afterburner to raise the speed of the fan a bit.

Shaggy04 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 If the monitor is hot, just pour some water on it, while plugged it. If it cools me down, it must cool down a monitor too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Threaded Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 You need to put the computer in the sink and fill it with water. This is the only safe and effective way to cool it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Threaded Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I think when someone gives us a wall of nonsensical babble, they're not exactly entitled to help. Not worth the effort to understand what their babble means, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 We were all newbie's at one time, maybe that's the best way he can describe the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
