June 1, 20233 yr Author This afternoon most of the ordered stuff got delivered, Though this morning I decided to take my faulty PC apart and clean it up. There was a lot of dust on the MB under the CPU cooler, and I also replaced the thermal glue under the VGA card's heat sink. Cleaned RAM and VGA card contacts. Now PC works normal. Before the screen would become static after a few minutes, and PC would constantly restart. Guess could have saved some money if I had done this earlier
