Sudden Power Off
"John Whitworth" wrote in message ... Tonight, I've dismantled everything in my PC, and vacuumed out everywhere I could see, including the inside of the PSU. I've also re-seated the CPU, and reapplied the HSF with new Arctic Silver Ceramique. It hasn't powered off yet, but from my experience over the last few weeks, it's just a matter of time. I'd like to think it won't happen...but I'm sure it will. I get the feeling that I may regret writing this, but, touch wood, the PC hasn't suddenly switched off since the thorough internal vacuuming. Whether it was dirt on the mobo or the PSU, something has been dislodged, and it seems OK again. I've invested in a couple of fan filters. I reckon a lot of my troubles are coming from the cute little houserabbit that lives in the corner of the computer room. I found quite a lot of fine fur entwined around my intake fans. Nice! Fingers crossed! Thanks for the responses...if it does reoccur, I shall replace the PSU. Cheers JW |
