High temperature inside the chassis causes card machine trouble

Fault phenomenon: A colleague of a Lenovo computer, recently always appear disk cannot open, the program can not install the strange phenomenon of running. And the machine after a period of time began to slow down, open some programs or QQ games will become very card. This is a Lenovo's home Yue model, the use of AMD's 2600 chip, two (computer does not sound) root memory, one is 256, one is the 512 after the addition. The sound card is integrated by the motherboard. Because the machine to use the burning function, and this Lenovo is a small chassis, only one slot, had to be removed from the original DVD to BenQ's burner.

Fault handling: First after the boot check the hardware drivers, after testing found that the driver has been installed normal. However, when you double-click the mouse to open the partition of the hard disk, the machine often does not respond, do not have to open the key in the right menu to continue running. And after running for some time, open Task Manager, the machine's CPU occupancy rate will be raised to a very high frequency, but then show the normal occupancy rate. The machine was installed with rising antivirus, but on the desktop to run the shortcut, but also can not open the program. Remove the program reload, you can complete the normal, but open again when you jump back to the desktop.

Accidentally installed a temperature measurement software, found that the hard drive indicates that the temperature is 125 degrees. After opening the chassis, it is found that there is a problem with heat dissipation. The first is two (the computer does not sound) the root of the memory bar around the basic does not have much space, and the hard disk and the burner distance between too close, and close to the right side of the motherboard capacitor temperature is very high, it seems to be the first to make a fuss on the heat. First the original 256 memory of the machine is removed, with only one 512 of the memory, and then the hard drive of the data line for a new one. And in the optical drive and the hard drive, clean out some space, would like to install a fan, considering to destroy the structure, so buy some metal heatsink to stick to the hard disk and optical drive. After the boot again, the strange problems finally stopped appearing.

Failure Analysis: Due to less space inside the chassis, in addition to the hardware caused by the increase in calorific value, it caused the card machine fault.

Editorial Reviews: For small chassis users, heat dissipation is always a big problem, now the program is more and more complex, running up the consumption of CPU usage is also huge. So in the presence of some card machine problems, it is best to give the chassis to do a large thermal inspection first.
