Greetings! Fellow Techs.
"heat sink grill marks" on your AMD Processor.
on the four sides of the processor (plate)
-heat sink marks seems to be a discoloration
-already cleaned it with 99% alcohol
-this is a 7 year old processor
-using the stock heat sink fan - the cause of the grill marks.
I...
Yes, it only had 1 Solid Capacitor, the rest of it are electrolytic capacitors.
but, I will still try to change the processor to confirm. anyway I had a lot AM3+ processors. just to finalize everything before I quit. lol
will just update if it's really a faulty motherboard.
thanks for the time man.
it's on Windows 7.
probably just let it retire, and let the mystery of the shut off, remain a mystery until the end of time.
will just do more tests, change the processor and see if it shuts off.
if it does.
I would confirm it's a faulty motherboard still trying to survive.
Cores not unlocked, no overclocking made.
I got the new AMD RYZEN 5.
but. just curious what seems to be faulty on this old hardware. being a tech, it just feeds my curiosity.
Yes, possible that the motherboard is already faulty? anyway it's old. (6 years)
I just find it mysterious when it works great after that "cold boot shut off" it just started this shut off problem a month ago.
is this also possible that some parts are loosing it's charge? and when powering on...
When Shutting down the computer properly. then switching off the power strip or unplugging the computer from the wall outlet.
when I power it on again the next day, there is a 50-70% chance it would "Shut off" on the first cold boot.
Computer shuts off randomly (after hours unplugged)
Scenario:
1. Computer shuts off on cold boot (after hours unplugged/switched off) at Windows desktop around 2 minutes.
2. After the shut off - powering on the PC again and it runs perfectly (passed all burn-in test). Runs pc games perfectly 8...
Yes, there are a lot of interesting "dark" poetry around the traditional metal genres.
as I am a Metal Head. 1 full album of Heavy Metal is enough. extended listening is not fun anymore. for background music it's always the Chillout Music genre and Electronica for me.
Try turning "vertical sync" in game settings.
Have you installed the correct Geforce 1080TI Drivers?
kindly indicate computer specs and display monitor.
1. Heavy Metal
2. Jazz
3. Electronica
I still listen to the same music I like since I was 9 years old. started to listen to new songs lately, also listens to any kind of genre. (even sesame street songs) but still my top 1 genre rules. any day, any time.
