computer help

0001844453/009 is the serial number i think

where the tiny sticker is this number is wrote in bold underneath where it says "tiny" 70106TMS0T24

then in smaller font it has

393 then it has serial number then the number at the top

dunno if that helps u

no.

what were u asking again?

hahaha

i'll go to the shop i got it and ask them for the type oh tiny it is

was wondering also

there are 2 fans in my computer one that pumps out hot air (which im guessing is the cooler) and another one that doesnt seem to do much (see pic below (not my pc btw, some crappy piccy of ebay but mine is same model lol)



i managed to clean the bottom fan that doesnt seem to do much but the one that pumps out hoty air, i couldnt get at cos it was encased it a metal box when i opened up the pc

i blew through the gaps and quite a bit uf dust came out so i hoovered it

but my comp jus restarted again so im guessin i didnt do a good enough job of it

one thing that struck me though, is i got a desktop fan that i have a put it behind the pc and turned it on, to cool down the system

but the computer still restarted itself

could it be that it may not be the fans but something else?

all help greatly appreciated agen thenaks

(tis like a crash course in pc repair )

Should like you should have 3 fans.

1) the top one in the case - the PSU fan. not the problem i don't think

2) the fan below it - the case fan. make sure it's clean

3) the CPU fan THIS IS THE ONE U WANT TO BE CLEAN - it'll be inside, face down, attached to the top of the processor attached to a 'heatsink' - a bit of metal - attached to the processor, attached to the motherboard

Phil you should get this book:

i've found what caused the issue - the same problem started happening with one of my sister's old systems i had salvaged, after a trip to windows update... which is exactly what happened to my system... which is naturally a cause for concern...
