about two weeks ago was applying thermal paste to my c2d, and accidentally got some on my fingers ad some of it rubbed on the bottom of the CPU. luckily it only covered one or two slots. so i rubbed it all of until it was almost invisibly even in bright light with a kleenex.
now once in a while I will get a blue screen of death maybe every 36-48 hours... but I keep my comp on all night so it can download torrents.
so i cleaned it off again with a kleenex
then i booted it up and got a blue screen of death during startup, im posting on this comp right now... 2 hours with no blue screen of death...
so CF, is there any kind of liquid or alchohol i can buy to safely clean the bottom of my core 2 duo without it causing problems?
I really have no idea what else could be causing this... all my specs are perfect...
580wat hiper psu (high performance brand)
Gigabyte GA mobo
8800GTS
C2D@ 2.13 not overclocked yet
2B 667 ram
lots of hard drive space
temps are cool, max CPU temp i ever got was 41C...
oh another thing... when in heavy gaming, i hear that noise you will hear if the CPU is overheating or the fan failed. yes, the one that kills your inner child...
It starts about 10-15 miniutes into gaming. you will hear a beep or two lasting about 1 or 2 seconds apart... then it goes away for awile (abnout 20 secs) then eventually it happens more and more until someone will complain...
I have no idea whats causing this
well, if anyone can help that would be great
