To troubleshoot Overheating problems with CPUs
Troubleshoot CPUs
Verify that the air vents in the computer chassis are not
blocked.
Move the system further from the wall if airflow is not
sufficient.
Use compressed air to remove dust and dirt from fan
components and the CPU heatsink.
Verify that the fan blades are turning freely; remove debris or
obstructions.
Make sure the heat sink is securely clipped to the CPU.
If a cooling component has failed, replace it.
Configure the processor to eliminate overclocking.

To troubleshoot system board problems:
Troubleshoot System Boards
If the computer displays error messages, research the
messages to determine a possible cause.
Eliminate problems with all other system components.
Perform a virus scan.
Reseat all components on the system board, including both
cables and connector pins.
Update the system BIOS.
Update device drivers.
Replace the CMOS battery.

Summary
In this session, you learned that:
There are various common power problems, such as line
noise, power sag, brownouts, and frequency variations.
Common power supply issues are fan doesn’t work, computer
won’t start and noise coming from power supply.
Parity and ECC are the error checking mechanism.
Computer crashes, memory errors display, and computer
seems to boot, but screen is blank are common memory
issues.
Overheating, chip creep, and failure are the common CPU
issues.
Computer viruses, loose connections, out-of-date BIOS, and
CMOS battery failure are the common system board issues.
