Continuous Restarting On INTEL CPU Solved
A customer called me telling me that her INTEL CPU DG41WV was restarting continuously every 15 minutes. When I got to her house, this is what I saw- computer full of dust!
Let’s see what was found when the chassis was opened up.
The first device I took out was the SMPS.
The SMPS was disassembled into pieces and cleaned carefully, both fans were lubricated too.
The other step was to clean/lubricate the Microprocessor fan.
Next was the NVidia GForce G 210 Graphics Card. It was full of dust also.
The Graphics Card was fully cleaned and the fan was cleaned and lubricated because it was too rigid. The rest of the PC was cleaned too: inside the chassis and the Motherboard. When the PC was armed completely and switched-ON, it really worked fine and was saved. After finishing my article I want to say that all the electronic equipments need a maintenance job, because too much dust can damage electronic circuitry, and another detail that should be taken into consideration is the ventilation. Please do not forget these two details.

Good job, Humberto. I don't know why people wait till they start having problems before they get their devices cleaned. I guess it's because repair shops don't advertise much, if at all.

Quote "I guess it's because repair shops don't advertise much, if at all". No Robert, it's the people who don't understand that all electrical & electronic equipment need preventive maintenance. Even though they do they are unwilling to lose the service of that equip for a few hours/days, lazy to call/take out the equip for servicing and thirdly reluctant to spend little money. Finally they end up with equip failure that leads to spending big amount. Unless periodic PM isn't done and we hear abnormal sound or feel the equip run hotter than normal such as motors, table/ceiling fans, PCs, AC etc we have to stop using that equip and call immediately for service.

You are probably right, but if shops advertised it would at least get them to think about preventive maintenance.
