Can you help with my computer?

Question

For some reason my computer keeps heating up and ones it does it shuts off what should i do?

Answer 1

get a new fan for your computer,

your CPU is overheating

get yourself a new fan and it should do you

Answer 2

Get a fan for your computer. If it's a desktop computer, install a couple of fans inside your computer to cool it down. If it's a laptop, get a fan cooler.

After your computer reaches a certain temperature, it gets too hot and shuts down automatically.

Answer 3

For one reason, when your processor got overheated, It will automatically shut down for a good prevention from toasting itself.

Open your PC case and turn the PC power on and check for your fan. If any fans are not running, shut down your PC and check for your fan's wires. If this is not the case, I think you need to buy a new fan.

If fan still work for quite awhile and window won't start, I think your processor and motherboard got toasted. Service your PC and try to recover any files that still on your hard drive.

Good luck

Answer 4

The only reason your computer would shut down is because the CPU is running more than the designated RPM or cycles per minute without enough heat dissipation. For that get a CPU cooler from your local Radioshack, CC, BB, or even better: newegg.com

If this only happens when you play games then get a cooler for your GPU or graphics card

Answer 5

I saw variable overheating-related performance from my laptop on big and arduous CD/ hard drive jobs, so I ShoeGoo glued 4 rubber pieces onto my case's existing rubber feet, raising it 1/4 inch off the desk. No more problems, except from idiots telling me to return my box to "stock condition". Regards, Larry.

Answer 6

You can try vacuming the vents, this has helped me in the past. Take the hose from your vaccum and put it near you vents, then turn the vaccum on and let it suck out the dust, or you can buy the bottles from cleaning your computer and the do the same and better. Although you run out of them fast, so you should buy a couple of bottles. You can get these at walmart.

Hope this helps.
