CPU Overheating Issues Solved

PC Virus Doctors have come across many desktops and laptops having overheating issues that may be resolved with a modification and upgrade to the (central processing unit) CPU. Many times computer users complain that their desktop or more often their laptops are overheating and are shutting down prematurely which can cause data loss or more importantly physical damage to motherboards.

Heat times the factor over a period of time may determine the lifespan of a laptop or desktop. The circuit board or motherboard as it is more commonly known is subject to heat as the conductors on these boards are thin strips of copper laid over a thin piece of plastic. These circuits and connections become sensitive to cold and heat and they contract and expand as heat and cold are applied. The results can be devastating as these circuits can become broken just like concrete sidewalks that are exposed to extreme cold and extreme heat.

PC Virus Doctors are able to get inside desktops and laptops to modify the existing environment around the CPU that may cool temperatures up to 20 degrees fahrenheit. The results are dramatic and the PC should last significantly longer saving hundreds of dollars without replacing hardware.

Tips to keep your CPU from overheating include:
  1. Not overclocking the unit
  2. Stop running unneeded processes
  3. Not allowing unneeded startup items to run
  4. Adding fans or cooling pads
  5. Place the desktop or laptop in a well ventilated, open area
  6. Make sure all fans are working and adjust speeds if necessary
  7. Vacuum or blow away all dust and particles from around the CPU and all interior
  8. Do not put too much thermal paste on the CPU
  9. Make sure the CPU is properly seated
  10. Install software to adjust speed fans manually or automatically to cool
