Hi,
My friend's pc gets freezed randomly I tried changing the ram but no use checked all connections and checked the PSU also but still it gets freezed
I checked the cpu temps in HW monitor and it stays at 62c idle and while running prime95 it gets freezed at around 70c
The thermal paste under the heatsink seems to be dried up could it be a reason for this kind of behaviour?
Thanks in advance :)
