I misread the title. I thought the author was talking about getting rid of unnecessary drivers/apps. I wonder if it was the dirt that killed the video card on my old iMac Lime.

I had this problem many years ago, the PC at home was shutting down a lot. I took it to the repair shop and they had me buy a new motherboard. Linis lang pala kailangan.

that happened to me but it was an old PC and found out that the thermal paste to the CPU dried up.

this also happened to me last week, 85deg on idle!, i thought its because of the hot weather, but then i tried to clean the cpu HSF, but then i forgot that i dont have a thermal paste/grease for the cpu. so i considered buying a aftermarket cooling fan like the zalman cnps9700 nt. and its worth it. when the pc is on full load it barely got higher than 45deg cel.i usually clean my pc after a month or two. and i use everest ultimate for monitoring temp and clock speed of cpu/gpu.

My Fujitsu laptop is encountering a similar issue wherein the temperature jumps and causes the laptop to shutdown after a few minutes of intensive use (normally 5-10 minutes). I already cleaned up the fans and removed a few dustballs but the problem still persists. I already tried using netbook coolers but it doesn’t remedy the problem.

To solve the issue, I bought a netbook.

ciao!

I usually clean my pc once or twice a month. Because of the temp. Of the cpu

CoreTemp is also a really small utility for monitoring your processor temps, it displays it in the task bar. For GPU temp you might need Riva Tuner to monitor that.

I usually do clean-ups when it crash! Yup, this is true.
