But this machine had been working for years without this recent
issue. So, I kind of dounbt it he the graphics chip issue. It's
history included the death of the cpu cooling fan, which I replaced.
The laptop belonged to a friend at the time. She sent it to me to
fix. I replaced the cooling fan with an identical one specified by
the same manufacturer and model number on the dead fan.
After fan replacement, it started having this intermittent problem.
So, I am led to strongly suspect that overheating may have caused
the problem before I even put in the new fan.
.
before replacing or installing newer cpu, do what has already
been mentioned.
clean away old thermal paste, apply fresh _white_ *high temp*
thermal paste.
_do_not_ use a clear paste. clear does not give needed transfer.
as for installing newer type cpu, contact AMD support. who would
know better? ;-)
to find out if cpu is causing problem, use this script;
#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
sensors >> ~/00-check-sensors
sleep 600 ## set sleep period to an interval of your choice.
done
when system locks up again, open "00-check-sensors" to see history
for temps and fans.
years back, i had a 586 system locking up. running above script
showed memory fan was slowing down. replaced fan, problem ended.
Good advice.
Will try it out.
Thanx.
