PC overheating issues
in Hardware ·
Hey there,
So, I wanted to share a photo of my setup, which I actually picked up about seven or eight years ago now. Lately, things have been getting a bit wonky because the whole system keeps resetting itself—just shutting down completely out of nowhere—so about a week ago, I decided to go ahead and buy an entirely new motherboard (which is identical to the one I had before), grabbed a new hard drive, and made sure to fresh up the CPU with some new thermal paste. Even after all that work, though, the computer is still doing that annoying thing where it just resets on its own. My gut feeling is that it might be an overheating issue, which is interesting because it seems to happen almost every single time I open up this one specific game in my browser that runs on Flash, and I can't even stay in the game for more than a few minutes before the whole thing crashes. Do you think it's possible the graphics card is the culprit here? If I were to swap out the GPU for a new one, do you think everything would finally start running smoothly again?
Thanks!
