میرا بنیادی کی بنیاد HTPC ایک پر Asus E35M1-M پرو کی شکل میں ایک AMD E350 Brazos کی ہے. میں سب سے پہلے اس کی تعمیر جب میں نظام کے ساتھ مسائل کی ایک بہت تھا, میں استعمال کیا جاتا Seagate Momentus XT سٹوریج ڈرائیو کے ساتھ مسائل کی وجہ سے کیا گیا تھا جس. یہ Seagate سے firmware اپ ڈیٹ کے ذریعے ایک اچھا دیر پہلے مقرر کیا گیا, اور اس کے بعد کے نظام بڑی حد تک کسی بھی مسئلے کے بغیر کام کیا ہے.
About 6 months ago the system started to exhibit problems again, کبھی کبھار اجلاس ہونے کے تناظر اور بوٹ آلہ کو تلاش کرنے میں ناکام, other times becoming sluggish even with under no سی پی یو usage. These instances were rare enough that I ignored them as I plan to upgrade the system in the next year or so anyway. In the last 6 weeks or so however the problems got much worse with daily crashing. This was problematic enough to prevent reliable recording of programmes and so I had to do something. My initial thought was that there was probably still some kind of freak incompatibility between the system and the momentus XT drive, لیکن حالت انتظار کر ایک نیا کے لئے SSD drive I decided to give the all-in-one motherboard some TLC. To my surprise I hadn’treplaced the stock thermal compound material under the heatsink for سی پی یو/GPU/Chipset. I removed the heatsink and cleaned off all the old compound with some ArctiClean (آپ کو کسی بھی نہیں ہے تو میں انتہائی یہ recom-مرمت!). I then used some Diamond‑7 compound and replaced the heatsink. Finally, میں heatsink کی سب سے اوپر بند "ASUS" علامت (لوگو) فٹ, as this appeared to me to simply restrict all natural upward airflow fro the middle of the heatsink — reducing it’s efficiency significantly. I then restored the board to the system and reconnected everything. To my pleasure it booted up correctly, the only mistake I’d made was to plug the front and rear speakers in the wrong way round.
Since then I’ve not had a single crash or funny behaviour — here’s hoping the problem was a heat issue caused by badly applied cheap thermal “gunk”. If you’re having Stability issues with any PC system it’s always worth reconnecting all the connections to the motherboard, اور نظام کے ساتھ بھیج دیا ہے کہ کسی بھی تھرمل کمپاؤنڈ کی جگہ.
