My median PC bought from ALDI in the UK has a problem

[wgdanson]

I had the same problem, i5 CPU , Asus mobo 4 yrs old. Diagnosed a faulty mobo. Went to JIB in Tukcom, Pattaya only to be told that ALL new mobos have a different socket, so a new i5 CPU was needed.

Reluctantly Bht 9500 left my wallet.

It is all up and running perfectly. If it lasts 4 years again, that's less than Bht 2000 a year. I'm happy.

It was the PSU

Went down to my friendly neighbourhood corner shop and Internet center and they in front of me on the counter placed another PSU on the PC and no problems, worked just fine

Replacement cost there and then 500Baht

Thanks to all the guys for info and help I am sorry I didn't reply to you all individually on the thread but I listened and acted on most things you advised to do

Regards Harvey

Well I had a day off yesterday with the view that I would start today with renewed vigor.

I have just gone into the work shed and taken the fan and the heat sink off the CPU and was ready to place some mayo when I thought that maybe Mayo whilst a short term problem solver would possibly mean going through this routine again if I was unlucky so I have decided to go into town and try and get some of the ceramic paste.

Getting to this stage though has opened up a new little problem and that is:

How much of the paste or the mayo should I place onto the CPU proper or should I just place the paste in the copper centre in the middle of the heat sink that actually comes into contact with the CPU or do I coat both.

also do I wait for the Mayo or paste to go hardish or off before I marry them up together?

Thanks for the patience I really do enjoy my potterings in the back of my PC

Before I attempt to do this I will await your very welcome comments

The Mayas knew what they did.
