The card seems to be at around 45-50 °C (I had some 4k videos playing on youtube). The graphics drivers keep on crashing whenever I launch steam games mostly. I tried playing some Rocket League and it all seemed fine... No performance issues, and the temperatures again seemed fine ( no more than...

So the problem is quite straightforward, my graphics drivers just keep on crashing out of the blue whenever I open apps that make use of them. It has mostly been happening while playing some steam game or discord but it also happens randomly while one Youtube (the website) and some other...

After I removed the 2nd piece of ham (even though there was no noticeable difference at the time) there has been now. The smell is pretty much gone, and I can only smell it whenever I stick my nose on the exhaust of the radiator. I guess 2 pieces of rotten and grilled ham were enough to make my...

Even though I managed to remove yet another piece of ham from the computer. The smell has remained.. Or better I should say that the smell has shifted into more of an Ozone type smell... I can't say for sure mainly because I do not have the chance to smell ozone every day. I've also had some...

Uhm I am fairly certain there was a piece of ham stuck between one of the motherboards power cords and its plug... I am not yet certain if the smell is gone or not, but I feel like my room stopped smelling like dead rats, soooo I suppose that is a good sign? Idk how he managed to stick that over...

I do not know to what extent my crappy phones camera can capture the detail but when I finally have time I will provide one.

Yes infact I have. I placed the cooler next to the computer on some books and then elevated it using some erasers I had lying around. Then places TP around the hose plugs and at the other side of the radiator. After roughly an hour of running IntelBurn tests and a stable 84 °C temperature the TP...

Just a reminder that a small power buffer for the PSU is always a good idea. In essence you don't want to have your PSU run at full power outage all the time, the fan will die quicker and will make a heck tone of more noise. In my opinion spending 10 more bucks on your PSU just to get a bit over...

I removed the back panel of the case and there wasn't even hot air there, at this point that part of the computer had fresher air than my actual room :/ . So it's definitely something on the front side of the motherboard. I guess if I am unnable to locate it, I will have to resort to either...

I tried the toilet paper method and it came out clean. Problem is the air did not smell (the air coming out of the radiator), while the smell inside the case had gotten a lot weaker it was still there. I will try playing some video games as I finally have spare time, and see what happens when...

If I am in a pickle i shall keep these in mind, some extra knowledge on the matter never hurts :P

The simplest way to check is boot your pc into safe mode, where only the bare bones of the Systems required services and programs are loaded. And another way of making sure no charge is left stored up in your Motherboard is by unplugging and holding the power button for 15-45 seconds (depending...

As previously stated it's an old processor, Windows 10 has added a bunch of features that slow down your computer and occupy RAM, if Windows 7 were still supported I would have recommended you used that, with all it's drawbacks it still was way better than Windows 10 in terms of performance. One...

Computer has been running daily for over 12 hours per day for a good month or so now, hence I doubt I wouldn't have felt a reduction in the smells intensity. That new electronics smell is something that I am aware of, clearly not something exclusive to computers and have come in contact with it...

I have already sent the computer to him twice ( 1st time was because I had audio/video issues and his "fix", reinstalling the OS, did not help at all since it was the graphics card at fault) the second time I had noticed the smell and mentioned it to him but he reassured me it was nothing...
