Hello there, i just yesterday decided to blow my computers dust and reapply thermal paste. I opened the case, blew from distance with an industrial low pressure air blower (i myself unloaded all water and let it work a bit etc to make sure ONLY air is coming out) not to damage any parts (not the 100% clean i wanted, cause i was afraid of any damage i would cause and cause i didnt have enough time!). Removed the cpu cooler, wiped off any residue, reapplied thermal paste and put it back together.
ALSO i took of my GPU and blew into the fans to force our any heavy dust sitting in the inside (once again, not everything cleaned at 100% as i was blowing from safe distance) then just clicked it again into its position.
Finally used a couple of cable ties to make some room for good airflow!
All i did and still that thought on the back of my head: "NO WAY pc is better now, in fact its gonna screw me in some way"
And yes, after i rebooted it it started freezing and not opening in time certain applications. After some heavy 20+sec strokes it came back to a stable state, closed it and went to sleep.
Today once again, the reboot time and first minutes are extremely positive, everything's running flawlessly. But after some time and with certain application i experience freezes. Not the screen, the applications, the background, the clicks. I loaded Age of Empires II DE, first time took like 3 minutes to boot, after 3 h playing normally, got many 4 sec freezes in game, closed the game and tried to restart it. Froze for 15 minutes on booting (while i was browsing utube normally) then when it got ingame froze for ever. Task manager freezing, opening a new tab is freezing, EVEN Shut Down the computer is freezing. It lets me click and all but it doesn't execute my clicks!!
*all this freeze fiesta starts after i try to run more things at once, pc on boot and after it is perfectly fine.
*Paste seemed fine, temps are fine i guess?? (cpu:~37C / gpu:~48C) its 24-34C where i live, also fans not on 100%).
*Unplugged and plugged every cord (that seemed loose) in case GENTLY to eliminate any loose connection possibility.
*Updated windows and graphics.
*Task Manager reports spikes in cpu and sometimes in gpu 80% of the times freezes occur.
*Is it normal my HDD appears 90% of time 100% in task manager?
SORRY for the LONG POST but i wanted to include everything that i did to this point.
HELP ME!
