My EMachines T5246 Keeps Crashing in the Heat
Whenever it gets hot like today (we don't have AC) my eMachines PC crashes. Any suggestion for keeping it going???
ya get a compressed air can and blow out fans and heat syncs. if that doesn't help then you need more airflow. reroute wires in case. add better case fans and ensure holes are sealed as a vacuum so air flows in a path past components and does not become stagnant. last, try an aftermarket cpu cooler like zalman, this will drastically reduce your core operating temperature
should not be too difficult; here some steps :
open PC, and clean it from dust - as said above;
check also video card fan !
monitor your temsp with speedfan, so you know where the problem lies (cpu, disk, video)

if the cpu is overtemp, you may need to replace the heat paste, or fan
if you do this, check that you mount the cpu heatsink flush against the cpu !!

with the case open, have a big fan blowing into helps als !
