You're not kidding! Get in there with a can of compressed air, and blow out all that dust, especially from the CPU heatsink and fan. All that dust will be adding to (if not completely causing) your heat problem.

The wire you mentioned is a power cable for a floppy drive, and it doesn't need to be plugged in.

Let us know how the system goes when you've blown all the dust out.

Also, please don't bump your thread (by posting "help") unless the thread has been inactive for more than 24 hours. The people on here live all around the world, so for example, I'm asleep when you're wanting help. Give us time, and we'll get to you.

WOW! that is some dirt.from looking at the first pic.it looks like you have a layer of dirt between the fan,and heatsink on your cpu.you definetly need to clean that out.i wouldnt even use that computer till it got a good cleaning.

Calasphere · 01-23-2007, 09:20 AM

What the hell do i clean it with? I mean do u just spray empty can?
And sry for "help" its just i really want a reply like every hour :D
And im a noob.... I dont even know what a heat sync is lol, i need you guys to get in more detail, well ill brb guna go "try" and clean

*BREAKING NEWS* OMFG ZEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!

The computer has been tested, and I have discovered this... when the CPU heat goes above 70 degrees, it crashes, I also discovered I can play WoW for like 30 mins at a time if I have the case open, maybee if I had a can of compressed air, WHICH WHERE THE HELL DO I GET THAT!!!!!!
And thank you all for the help, now playing on WoW is not a strain on my patience, it is a fun game.... just need a little more help on cleaning PC,

PEAK TEMP-70, if it goes further ceeeeeeeeeeeeerash! im not sure why by the way, maybe to stop from pretty much melting its self...?

Calasphere · 01-23-2007, 10:28 AM

Sry for posting again, but is there anyway of changing max level for a PC crash in the CPU? So it wont crash until its like 80 degrees? If you know what i mean....

**pharoah** · 01-23-2007, 10:53 AM

you can get a can of compressed air to clean out a computer about anywhere.wal mart,radio shack,and any place that sells computers will have it.

edit:you could remove that shroud around that cpu cooler remove the fan from the heatsink<"since you have no paste remove the fan from the heatsink leave the heatsink on it" try a vacuum cleaner to get that dirt off.be sure to use a plastic tip on the vac,and be easy with your componets.when its cleaned up put the fan,and shroud back on.boot up,and check your temps again.

Calasphere · 01-23-2007, 11:58 AM

Heh, incase your intrested, im british, and no shop does good PC stuff, only a few like PC world and currys, that sell a couple of out of date graphics cards, so there is no chance of that 0.0

**pharoah** · 01-23-2007, 12:28 PM

here is what you need

Indoril Nerevar · 01-23-2007, 02:53 PM

The local electronics store should also carry compressed air. Have a look around, ask some people. You'll find it.

Calasphere · 01-24-2007, 02:09 PM

Thanks guys!

Indoril Nerevar · 01-25-2007, 05:06 PM
