Lockups & Overheating<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Experiencing frequent lockups before your system crashes? Apparently, they occur due to your overheated Processor – as it may have caused the system to shut down automatically to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n

It is the most common symptom that arises due to the insufficient performance of the CPU component. Note that overheating is caused by the cooling fan of the processor as they don\u2019t last as long as the processor. Over the years, the fan blades collect a layer of dirt and they slow down which leads to an unprecedented halt. If it occurs to you that your computer shuts down unexpectedly and is overheating while you\u2019re using it, chances are CPU fans are failing or close to failing. Keep your system off for a couple of hours before rebooting it again. With frequent cooling to remove grime, dust, and dirt, a CPU cooling fan remains functional for a couple of years. You can also replace the old one with the new cooling fans, as it\u2019ll help you get rid of all the overheating problems altogether.<\/p>\n

General Protection Faults (GPF)<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Blue Screen of Death (BSODs) is a type of error that the operating system shows when there\u2019s an existence of a fatal system glitch. It is caused by general protection faults (GPFs) – which indicates that the GPF has failed in receiving a command from the hardware component. In case if you see the \u201cDivide by Zero\u201d or \u201cStack Overflow\u201d messages in the GPF or the BSOD, it may indicate that your processor is overheated or overclocked in the BIOS. If you\u2019ve done overclocking your processor, you can reduce the multiplier and the bus speed in the BIOS to figure out if this caused a BSODs. In case if you\u2019ve not overclocked your CPU, just go with disabling the cache in the BIOS. if the error disappears, boot up the system couple of times and then enable the cache. If the issue persists, just check the motherboard for the faulty capacitors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
