मेरे मुख्य का आधार HTPC is an AMD E350 Brazos in the form of an Asus E35M1‑M Pro. जब मैं पहली बार इसे बनाया जब मैं प्रणाली के साथ समस्याओं का एक बहुत था, मैं प्रयोग किया जाता है Seagate Momentus XT भंडारण ड्राइव के साथ मुद्दों के कारण किया गया है, जो. ये सीगेट से फर्मवेयर अपडेट के माध्यम से एक अच्छा समय पहले तय किया गया, और उसके बाद से प्रणाली काफी हद तक किसी भी मुद्दे के बिना काम किया है.
के बारे में 6 months ago the system started to exhibit problems again, कभी कभी दुर्घटनाग्रस्त और बूट युक्ति को खोजने में नाकाम रहने के, other times becoming sluggish even with under no सीपीयू 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, लेकिन whilst के इंतजार आईएनजी एक नए के लिए एसएसडी 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 सीपीयू/GPU/Chipset. I removed the heatsink and cleaned off all the old compound with some ArctiClean (आप किसी भी नहीं है अगर मैं अत्यधिक यह सिफारिश सुधार!). I then used some Diamond‑7 compound and replaced the heatsink. Finally, मैं heatsink के ऊपर से "ASUS" लोगो फट, 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, और सिस्टम के साथ भेज दिया कि किसी भी थर्मल परिसर की जगह.
