turret Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Help! My computer screen goes black, the sound goes jerky and then stops and the fan runs really fast. This is apparently random, I have run checkdisk and there are no errors. It happens when computer is cold so is not overheating. It was happening a few weeks ago and I figured it was my 4 year old processor or my mother board so I replaced both and got a new power supply but now it is happening again. When it happened before my hard disk was corrupted so I removed everything from it, formatted it and reinstalled windows, but this time my hard disk is fine. The only bits left of my old computer are my hard disk, my graphics card (which is only a year old) and the wires. I don't know what to do. Quote
KenB Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Hi and welcome to ExTS Take a look inside the case - check for dust ....particularly underneath the Motherboard. Use a can of compressed air to blow it away ( don't be tempted to use a vacuum cleaner ) Also check for small loose screws / metal objects that my be shorting the m/board connections. ============ When you replaced the CPU - did you clean the heat sink and use thermal paste ( in moderation ) ? Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
